About the time in Chánia
Chánia is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC +3 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 25 October 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Chánia day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
The zone identifier Europe/Athens is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Athens keeps pointing at Athens time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
