Time in Heraklion, Greece

Time zone: EEST (UTC/GMT +03:00) — Europe/Athens

Local time here is EEST, which sits 3 hours ahead of UTC, written UTC+03:00. The canonical zone name is Europe/Athens, and that is what to pick from a time zone dropdown.

One date to watch: Sunday, 25 October 2026. That is when Heraklion goes back 1 hour onto EET — recurring meetings set before then will land an hour out unless the calendar handles zones properly.

Current gap between Heraklion and cities people most often need to coordinate with. These figures already account for daylight saving where it applies.

Assuming a 09:00–17:00 day at both ends, these windows (in Heraklion local time) fall inside working hours for both cities.

No shared working window exists with Los Angeles, so those calls have to sit outside somebody's normal hours.

These Greece cities also use Europe/Athens, so their clocks read identically to Heraklion at every moment of the year.
