The 2020 holidays bring several three days.
2019 is slowly coming to an end. With 2020 less than two months away, it's time to get organized and see the New Year holidays.
This is a great opportunity to open your diaries and arrange possible getaways for the new year.
In fact, 2020 has several three days that are offered for short trips or just for relaxation from everyday life and work.
As for 2019, there are only two holidays left until the end of this year.
And more specifically, the 25th of December, that is, Christmas (the fourth day of Wednesday this year) and the next: The Assumption of the Virgin Mary, on the 26th of December 2019 and Thursday.

Which are mandatory holidays and which are customary
It should be noted that in our country, there are various religious or national holidays which are often public holidays for employees and students.
Some of them are fixed while others are mobile and are determined by the date of Easter for each year.
Also, of the holidays in Greece, some are mandatory by law, and others are customary holidays. The only difference between these two holidays is that the mandatory holidays prohibit the employment of employees, while during the optional holiday it depends on the employer's judgment (will) whether the company will operate.
The obligatory holidays
- March 25 (national holiday)
- Easter Monday
- August 15, Assumption of the Virgin Mary
- October 28, (national holiday)
- December 25, Christmas
