Public Holidays in Cyprus — 2027
There are 17 public holidays in Cyprus in 2027 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
5 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 12 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 11 before July and 6 after it — with May the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 68 days, from Wednesday, January 6, 2027 to Monday, March 15, 2027; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
7 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 3 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Cyprus sits in Western Asia, is run from Nicosia, pays in Euro, and has about 1.2M people planning around these same dates.
