Calendar holidays in 2022 will delight many

Residents of Greece expect a year in which there will be a lot of holidays that fall on dates around the weekend. In this connection, they “join” them.

Thus, it will be possible to go somewhere 5 times for three days during the year or take a break from work duties, for example, at home on the couch.

Holidays 2022 in detail:

Saturday 1 January: New Years. Thursday 6 January: Epiphany. Monday 7 March: Shrove Tuesday (three days). Friday 25 March: Anniversary of the 1821 Revolution (three days). Friday 22nd April: Good Friday (four days). Sunday 24 April: Easter (four days). Monday 25 April: Easter Monday (four days). Sunday May 1: May Day (probably “postponed” from Sunday, which falls on a public holiday, and the result will be three days of rest). Monday 13 June: Holy Spirit Day (three days). Monday 15 August: Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos (three days). Friday 28 October: OKI Anniversary (three days). Sunday 25 December: Christmas Day. Monday 26 December: second day of Christmas (three days).

As for the end of 2021, there are still holidays on December 25 and 26, which, however, “fall” on Saturday and Sunday.
