Greece scheduled to switch to winter time in October 2026

Greece is scheduled to transition from summer time to winter time on Sunday, October 25, 2026. At 04:00 am, clocks will be set back one hour to 03:00 am, following the existing European seasonal time system.

While the European Commission proposed ending the practice of changing clocks twice a year in 2018, no final decision has been reached. A consensus among EU member states is required to change the regime, and the European Council has not yet set a specific timetable for such a decision. Consequently, the current system remains in effect.
