About the time in Rize
Clocks in Rize stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Turkey.
Rize follows the civil time used across its region of Turkey; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Rize 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.
