What is fixed and what may change
This page covers the Republic of Cyprus only. The north of the island, under Turkish Cypriot administration, follows a different calendar.
The dates follow the 2027 bank holiday list published by the Central Bank of Cyprus. Easter and Kataklysmos follow the Orthodox calendar: Easter is on 2 May in 2027.
There is no general law that makes these days paid days off in the private sector. It depends on the employment contract or the collective agreement. Many employers give them as paid days off in practice.
Holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday are not moved. In 2027 this applies to 1 May, 15 August, 25 and 26 December.
