Time difference between Rome and Athens

Athens is 1 hour ahead of Rome

Rome, Italy is UTC+1 · Athens, Greece is UTC+2 — on standard time

The gap holds all year

Neither city changes its clocks — Rome 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 1 hour 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.
