Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
Dekapentavgoustos is the summer's great family reunion, drawing people back to island and mountain villages for a panigiri feast.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks and offices closed; resort retail and tavernas trade at peak.
Getting around
The single busiest ferry weekend of the Greek year — book sailings far ahead.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
