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