Any travel agent can answer this very well. Just tell them your family is keen to travel that way and needs advice.

I’m assuming you mean USA national holidays, and I can’t imagine why you would think any originate from Greece! Here’s a list of holidays: http://www.madmanmike.com/us_holidays_dates.html
Why would the mighty US of A, celebrate some holiday generating from such an insignificant country? That’s against all logic.
Well not really.
There is a Greek Orthodox Thanksgiving Sunday, but I very much doubt that they have any relation with the American one.
The other two similar holidays are New Years and Xmas, but neither of them “originated” as holidays from Greece
National Gay Day (or Marmangistikon)
