Greece Gains an Hour of Sleep as Clocks Fall Back for Winter

Greece turned clocks back one hour at 4 a.m. on Sunday, October 25, 2026, marking the shift to winter time, meaning residents gained an extra hour of sleep. The change, which set clocks to 3 a.m., will remain in effect until the last Sunday of March 2027. This gained hour will be lost again when summer time returns. Most digital devices like smartphones, computers, and smartwatches updated automatically, but analog clocks, ovens, and older car clocks required manual adjustment.
