Summer 2025 has arrived, and Whit Monday, a Christian holiday also known as Pentecost Monday, falls on June 9, offering a welcome break for many workers in Greece. Celebrated the day after Pentecost Sunday (50 days after Easter),
it commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, marking the birth of the Christian Church. This long weekend is ideal for short getaways, rural visits, or relaxing at home. Popular destinations like Halkidiki, the Cyclades, and the Peloponnese are seeing high demand, with hotels and Airbnb bookings nearly full as people embrace the first major holiday of the summer.
Upcoming 2025 Holidays:
- Whit Monday: June 9 (not a holiday for all employees)
- Dormition of the Virgin Mary: August 15
- Ohi Day: October 28
- Christmas: December 25
- Second Day of Christmas: December 26
