The Athens Traders Association has released the working hours for the upcoming Greek Orthodox Easter holiday

The Athens Traders Association and Trade Association of Thessaloniki in Greece announced the times and days for trade which are to be adhered to during the upcoming Greek Orthodox Easter holiday season.

Greek Orthodox Easter tends to fall on a different day to Catholic Easter because Orthodox churches often base their Easter date on the Julian calendar as opposed to the Gregorian calendar used by other branches of Christianity. This year, Greek Orthodox Easter falls on May 1, 2016.

May Day holiday

The May Day holiday has been moved to Tuesday, May 3, in order to compensate for Easter clashing with the holiday. Normal trade hours will resume from Wednesday, May 4, 2016.

Wednesday, April 20: 09:00-21:00
