Daylight saving time ends in Greece and across the EU on Sunday, October 26. At 4:00 a.m., clocks will move one hour back to 3:00 a.m., marking the start of winter time — a practice still in effect across Europe despite talks of abolishing it

Daylight saving ends, giving Greeks an extra hour — and sparking renewed debate across Europe

Clocks will move back one hour on October 26 as Greece switches to standard winter time, continuing a practice first tested in 1932 and formalized in 1975

Greece first experimented with daylight saving time in 1932, implementing it from July 6 to September 1 of that year by setting clocks one hour ahead.

Since 1996, a unified European regulation has been in place, requiring member states to move clocks forward by one hour in the spring and back by one hour in the fall
