Time difference between Lisbon and Athens

Athens is 2 hours ahead of Lisbon

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

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Lisbon goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October and Athens 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.
