Time in Greece goes one hour forward on Sunday

By 1 year ago

The time will move forward for summer time at 3:00 in the morning on Sunday, March 26. They will jump forward by exactly one hour, to read 4:00 a.m. instead of 3:00 a.m., marking the end of winter time.

According to an announcement by the infrastructure and transport ministry, March 26 marks the end of the implementation of winter time.

Since 2001, EU summertime arrangements have been governed by Directive 2000/84/EC, setting out the obligation on all Member States to switch to summer-time on the last Sunday of March and to switch back to their standard time ("winter-time") on the last Sunday of October.
