What the numbers say
In 2026, Albania has 14 nationwide public holidays and Greece has 15, so Greece gets 1 more day off. They line up on 5 dates, including Viti i Ri, Pashkët Ortodokse, E hëna e Pashkëve Ortodokse and Dita Ndërkombëtare e Punonjësve.
What matters for time off is how many land on weekdays: Albania has 12 on working days (2 fall on a weekend), against 11 for Greece (4 on a weekend).
For short breaks, Albania offers 10 long weekends (a Monday or Friday holiday) and 2 possible bridge days (a Tuesday or Thursday holiday); Greece offers 6 and 2. They're level on bridge days. The busiest month is April in Albania and April in Greece.
