Cyprus has 15 national public holidays in 2027 that apply everywhere, and 15 distinct dates once regional public holidays are included. The next public holiday in Cyprus is New Year's Day on 1 January 2027, which is in 69 days.
These days appear on many calendars as public holidays, and sources genuinely disagree about them. Where they conflict, we follow the official government or statutory source and name it below, so a day is only counted in the totals on this page if the law actually gives it to you. That is why our figure can be lower than the one you see elsewhere.
Easter TuesdayNot a day off
What the law says: Listed by the Central Bank of Cyprus but not by CySEC. Where official sources conflict we do not count the day.
In practice: A bank holiday that many private businesses work through.
Source followed: Central Bank of Cyprus and CySEC holiday lists (conflicting)
Christmas EveNot a day off
What the law says: Two Cypriot government sources disagree: CySEC lists it, the Central Bank of Cyprus does not. Where official sources conflict we do not count the day.
In practice: Many businesses close early or fully. Because the government itself is not consistent, published Cypriot totals differ by a day or two depending on which list was used.
