Daylight Saving Time in Cyprus: Clocks Go Forward on March 29th

On Sunday, March 29th, 2026, at 03:00 AM, clocks will be moved forward one hour, marking the beginning of daylight saving time in Cyprus. This decision is based on a Decree published in the Official Gazette of the Republic in July 2021. Daylight saving time will last until Sunday, October 25th, 2026. The implementation of daylight saving time is mandatory for all member states of the European Union. This change aims to make better use of natural light and save energy, although its effectiveness has been questioned in recent years.
