Greece winter time transition scheduled for October 2026

The transition to winter time in 2026 is scheduled to occur on Sunday, October 25. Clocks will be set back by one hour during the early morning hours, moving from 03:00 to 02:00.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a system used by various nations to better utilize daylight and conserve energy. While many countries participate in biannual clock changes, most nations in Asia and Africa do not. The concept has historical roots ranging from Benjamin Franklin's early ideas to William Willett's 1907 proposal, and finally to the scientific approach suggested by New Zealand entomologist George Hudson in 1895.
