Athens clocks, offsets and daylight saving
Clocks in Athens are set to EEST, 3 hours ahead of UTC (UTC+03:00). Software that asks for a region wants Europe/Athens — the IANA identifier for this zone.
Expect a clock change on Sunday, 25 October 2026: Athens switches to EET, moving back by 1 hour. Until that date the UTC+03:00 offset above holds.
