Time difference between Athens and New York

New York is 7 hours behind Athens

Athens, Greece is UTC+2 · New York, the United States 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 New York goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.

Both change their clocks and both are in the northern hemisphere, but not on the same weekend — Athens goes forward on the last Sunday in March and New York on the second Sunday in March. For the days in between, the gap is neither party's expected figure, and a standing meeting silently moves by an hour. That mismatch is a common cause of a missed international call.
