About these holidays
New Year's Day
1 January. In many countries the day off moves to the following Monday when it falls on a weekend.
The first day of the Gregorian calendar year, and the most widely observed public holiday in the world — a day off in almost every country that uses the Gregorian calendar, regardless of religion. Several countries extend the break to 2 January, and some in East Asia keep both the Gregorian and a separate lunar new year.
Ramadan Feast Eve
The afternoon of the day before Eid al-Fitr, which follows the Hijri calendar.
A half-day holiday from the afternoon, letting people travel before the three-day feast begins.
Ramadan Feast
1 Shawwal on the Hijri calendar — the Gregorian date shifts about eleven days earlier each year.
Ramazan Bayramı, known in Turkey as the Sugar Feast for the sweets given to visiting children. Three days of statutory holiday marking the end of the Ramadan fast, and one of the two biggest travel periods of the year.
Ramadan Feast Holiday
Additional days off attached to Ramazan Bayramı, announced annually.
The government regularly extends the three statutory days into a longer break by declaring the surrounding weekdays administrative holidays — a decision usually announced a few weeks ahead.
National Sovereignty and Children's Day
23 April.
Marks the first meeting of the Grand National Assembly in Ankara in 1920. Atatürk dedicated the date to children, making it the only national day anywhere dedicated to childhood — schools hold ceremonies and children symbolically take over public offices for the day.
Labor and Solidarity Day
1 May.
International Workers' Day. Banned as a public holiday after the 1980 coup and restored in 2009.
Sacrifice Feast Eve
The afternoon of the day before Eid al-Adha.
A half-day holiday from the afternoon, ahead of the four-day feast.
Sacrifice Feast
10 Dhu al-Hijjah on the Hijri calendar, about seventy days after Ramazan Bayramı.
Kurban Bayramı marks the end of the Hajj and commemorates Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. Four days of statutory holiday, the longest fixed break in the Turkish calendar, during which animals are sacrificed and the meat shared with relatives and the poor.
Sacrifice Feast Holiday
Additional days off attached to Kurban Bayramı, announced annually.
Extra days bridging the four statutory days into the surrounding weekends. Combined breaks of nine days or more are common when the feast falls mid-week.
Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day
19 May.
Marks Atatürk's landing at Samsun in 1919, the event taken as the start of the Turkish War of Independence. Dedicated to young people and marked with sporting events nationwide.
Democracy and National Unity Day
15 July.
Commemorates the failed coup attempt of 2016 and those killed resisting it. Turkey's newest public holiday, established the following year.
Victory Day
8 or 9 May in Europe; other dates elsewhere.
Marks the end of the Second World War in Europe. Western Europe keeps 8 May; Russia and most post-Soviet states keep 9 May, because the surrender took effect after midnight Moscow time.
Republic Day Eve
28 October, from the afternoon.
The afternoon of 28 October is a half-day holiday leading into Republic Day.
Republic Day
The anniversary of the founding of the republic — varies by country.
Marks the adoption of a republican constitution or the end of a monarchy. Observed in India, Italy, Turkey, Portugal and a number of other states.
