Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Greece
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day sahur and iftar times across 1 city.
How Greece decides
Practice varies across Greece: some communities rely on a local moon sighting, while others follow a calculation or Saudi Arabia's announcement.
Greece's Muslim minority is concentrated in Western Thrace, where government-appointed muftis hold official public-legal status; a specific 1446 (2025) date attributed to them could not be confirmed, so it is left null. The 1447 (2026) figure of February 18 comes from a calendar aggregator for Athens rather than a direct mufti statement.
