As every year, this year too, the time change will take place on last Sunday of October and in particular on 30/10/2022.

So, at 4 a.m. on Sunday 30 October, we turn our clocks one hour back, at 03:00.

The implementation of daylight saving time in Greece

In Greece, daylight saving time was applied for the first time, on a trial basis, in 1932 and specifically from 6 July to 1 September, when the clocks were put an hour ahead. But then it was abandoned, because in the 28 July 1916 at 04:00 hours, the clocks in Greece were set 25 minutes ahead at the introduction of the time zone that had been decided worldwide. Thus the difference in relation to sunlight, which determines the actual time, became very large, especially in the western parts of the country and more so in Corfu. In the following years a simple shift was adopted the opening time of public services and shops by half an hour in the winter period.

However, in the 1970s, just two years after the energy crisis that erupted in Europe in 1973, it was decided that a large number of countries, including Greece, would adopt daylight saving time, starting in 1975.
