Turkey Public Holidays 2026

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
There are 17 national public holidays in Turkey during 2026. This year 2 of them land on a Saturday or Sunday, so only 15 reduce the working week. There are 6 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with Eid al-Adha Eve (half-day) on Sunday 25 May and closes with Republic Day on Thursday 29 October.
