About Athens's Time Zone
Athens is in the UTC+2/UTC+3 time zone, and the gap with Turkey shifts between 0 and 1 hours with daylight saving time. Track the exact live time above, updated every second.
Athens, the capital of Greece, is a historic city often considered the cradle of Western civilization, and sits in the Eastern European Time zone.
That puts Athens an hour ahead of most Western European cities; its own summer clock change lines it up exactly with Istanbul in the warmer months, but in winter Athens falls an hour behind.
