The time changes: When do we move the clocks forward

On Sunday, March 29, 2026, clocks will be set one hour forward for the start of Daylight Saving Time in Greece.

On March 29, 2026, Greece will observe the transition to Daylight Saving Time, moving clocks forward by one hour. The time change will occur at 3:00 AM when the clocks will be set to 4:00 AM. This change is in accordance with the European Parliament and Council Directive 2000/84 that governs time changes across Europe.

The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has officially reminded the public about this upcoming change, reaffirming the importance of adhering to the established rules regarding time adjustments. The transition marks the end of what is referred to as 'winter time' and is a significant practice across Europe intended to make better use of daylight during the longer days of summer.

Daylight Saving Time will remain in effect until October 25, 2026, after which clocks will revert back to standard time. This cyclical time change not only affects daily schedules but also has broader implications for various sectors, including business operations, transportation, and leisure activities, as it aims to maximize the utilization of daylight hours.
