Cyprus will observe several public holidays in late April 2025 in observance of Orthodox Easter, with financial institutions, government offices and many businesses set to close.
Orthodox Easter Sunday will fall on April 20, 2025, with related holidays extending from April 18 through April 22, creating a five-day holiday period across the island.
The official public holidays include Orthodox Good Friday on April 18, Orthodox Easter Monday on April 21, and Orthodox Easter Tuesday on April 22, which is specifically designated as a bank holiday in Cyprus.
This extended holiday period typically impacts business operations, tourism patterns, and economic activity across the republic, with many Cypriots traditionally using the time for family gatherings and religious observances.
Orthodox Easter represents the most significant religious festival in Cyprus, where approximately 78% of the population identifies as Greek Orthodox.
