Bridge day check

Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What the day is for

Kathara Deftera opens Lent: kite-flying on any open hillside, lagana flatbread and seafood meze without meat or dairy. The most widely enjoyed of the Greek holidays.

Do shops and banks close?

Banks, offices and most shops closed; tavernas run full.

Getting around

Heavy weekend exodus from Athens and packed ferries to the nearby islands.
