Time difference between Athens and Lisbon

Lisbon is 2 hours behind Athens

Athens, Greece is UTC+2 · Lisbon, Portugal is UTC — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Athens goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Lisbon goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October — so 2 hours is the difference in January and in July alike. That is worth knowing about this pair specifically, because most international pairs do move and a recurring meeting between them does not need checking twice a year.
