Daylight saving time will begin in Greece on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Clocks will advance one hour at 3:00 AM to 4:00 AM. This change is part of a European Union regulation implemented in 1996 to conserve energy by maximizing daylight hours. The measure will remain in effect until October 25, 2026. While intended for energy savings, the practice of changing clocks has faced criticism due to potential health impacts and disputed energy conservation benefits.
