About this calendar
In 2026, Türkiye observes 16 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Republic Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Turkey works a 45-hour statutory week, in practice Monday to Friday for offices. Religious holidays start with a half day (arife), and the government frequently extends Ramadan and Sacrifice Feast breaks into full weeks by administrative decision.
