ANSWER (Greek Code of Civil Procedure, KPolD, as in force October 2026)

Step 1 - Which time limit applies.
The judgment is a final judgment of the Multi-Member Court of First Instance, issued under the ordinary procedure, so an appeal lies to the Court of Appeal (Art. 511 KPolD). Art. 518 par. 1 KPolD sets the appeal period at 30 days from service of the judgment, where the appellant resides or is seated in Greece. The company is seated in Heraklion, so the 60-day period for persons residing abroad does not apply. The period is counted from service made at the initiative of a party. The service took place on Thursday 16 July 2026.

Step 2 - Why the 2-year limit is not relevant.
Art. 518 par. 2 KPolD gives a long-stop of 2 years from publication of the judgment, for the case where the judgment was never served. The judgment was published on 2 July 2026 and was served, so par. 2 does not apply. The publication date of 2 July 2026 does not start the 30-day period. Only service starts it, under Art. 518 par. 1.

Step 3 - Start of the count.
Art. 144 par. 1 KPolD (with Art. 241 of the Civil Code, and Art. 240 of the Civil Code on counting) provides that a period counted in days starts on the day after the event. The day of service is excluded. Day 1 is therefore Friday 17 July 2026.

Step 4 - End of the 30 days.
Day 1 is 17 July. Day 15 is 31 July. Day 30 is 15 August 2026. That is 30 days from 16 July, i.e. 4 weeks plus 2 days, which is Saturday. Art. 518 par. 1 sets the 30 days, and Art. 144 par. 1 KPolD with Arts. 240-241 of the Civil Code governs the count. A period in days expires at the end of its last day.

Step 5 - Weekend and holiday extension.
15 August 2026 is a Saturday. It is also the public holiday of the Dormition of the Virgin (Assumption). Art. 144 par. 3 KPolD provides that if the period expires on a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday, it is extended to the end of the next working day. Sunday 16 August 2026 is also not a working day. The next working day is Monday 17 August 2026.

Step 6 - Judicial vacation.
I applied no further extension for the judicial vacation (Art. 147 KPolD). Service took place on 16 July, inside the vacation. I do not treat the vacation as suspending or lengthening an appeal period that is already running under Art. 518 par. 1. I am relying on memory for this point and did not check the text of Art. 147.

Conclusion.
The 30-day period (Art. 518 par. 1) ends on Saturday 15 August 2026, a holiday. Under Art. 144 par. 3 it is extended to Monday 17 August 2026. The last day to file the appeal is Monday 17 August 2026.

RESULT: deadline = 2026-08-17; rule = Art. 518 par. 1 KPolD (30 days from service), counted under Art. 144 par. 1 and extended under Art. 144 par. 3
