Time difference between Athens and Lima

Lima is 8 hours behind Athens

Athens, Greece is UTC+2 · Lima, Peru is UTC−5 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Athens goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Lima does not change its clocks.

Lima stays put all year while Athens moves, so a meeting fixed in Lima's calendar shifts by an hour twice a year at Athens's end.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Athens and nine-to-five in Lima do not overlap at all. With 8 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
