Appeal deadline - Alkyon Wooden Constructions P.C. (Greek Code of Civil Procedure, as in force October 2026)

Step 1 - Which period applies and from when it runs.
Art. 518 par. 1 CCP: the appeal against a final first-instance judgment must be filed within 30 days from the service of the judgment (60 days only if the appellant resides abroad or at an unknown address). The company is seated in Heraklion, so the 30-day period applies. Because the judgment was served on 16 July 2026 at the plaintiff's initiative, the period runs from service. The alternative two-year period from publication (art. 518 par. 2) applies only where the judgment was never served, so it is not relevant here.

Step 2 - The day of service is not counted.
Art. 144 par. 1 CCP (with art. 240 Civil Code): the day of the event that triggers the period (here service, 16 July 2026) is not counted.

Step 3 - Judicial vacation.
Art. 147 CCP: the judicial vacation runs from 1 July to 15 September. A period for a remedy that begins during the vacation does not run during it; it starts when the vacation ends, so counting begins on 16 September 2026. Service on 16 July falls within the vacation, so the 30 days start on 16 September 2026, and the whole of the 16 July - 15 September interval is excluded.

Step 4 - Count 30 days.
Art. 518 par. 1 with art. 144 CCP and arts. 240-241 Civil Code: the period is counted in days and expires at the end of the last day.
Day 1 = 16 Sept 2026. 16-30 Sept = 15 days. 1-15 Oct = 15 days. Day 30 = Thursday 15 October 2026.

Step 5 - Weekend and holiday check.
Art. 144 par. 3 CCP (extension to the next working day when the last day is a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday): 15 October 2026 is a Thursday and not a public holiday (28 October is the nearest, and it is later). No extension applies.

Conclusion: the last day for filing the appeal is Thursday 15 October 2026. (Note: on a reading that treats 16 September as the trigger day and starts counting on 17 September, the day would be 16 October 2026. I adopt the reading that the period starts running on 16 September itself, as the period "begins" when the vacation ends.)

RESULT: deadline = 2026-10-15; rule = Art. 518 par. 1 CCP (30 days from service), with Art. 144 par. 1 and 3 CCP and Art. 147 CCP (judicial vacation)
