Holidays and gift giving occasions in Greece

The Greeks have a long and storied history of celebrations, whether it's by holding the very first Olympics or just celebrating their god of wine. Nowadays they have their fair share of public holidays to enjoy throughout the year. Bear in mind that packages won't be picked up or delivered on public holidays, so if you're sending around a public holiday try to book in advance to allow time for your package to get to its recipient. And just to make it easy to know when that's the case, we've collected a list of Greek national holidays.
