Time difference between Melbourne and Athens

Athens is 7 hours behind Melbourne

Melbourne, Australia is UTC+10 · Athens, Greece is UTC+2 — 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 Melbourne goes forward on the first Sunday in October and back on the first Sunday in April and Athens goes forward on the last Sunday in March and back on the last Sunday in October.

These two are in opposite hemispheres, so their summers do not overlap: Melbourne is on summer time roughly when Athens is not. The gap does not wobble by an hour around a settled figure — it swings between 7 hours and 9 hours and spends a good part of the year at each. There is no single right answer to give a calendar, which is why a recurring meeting between them is worth setting in one city's local time and letting the other side see it move.
