Beijing is 5 hours ahead of Athens

Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Athens is 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Beijing.

For the smoothest call, aim inside 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Athens, i.e. 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Beijing. Beijing is 5 hours ahead of Athens, so the practical overlap is about 5 hours — generous enough for meetings, tight enough to be worth booking ahead. Seasonal note: Athens uses daylight saving and Beijing doesn't, so double-check the times in your own months — they can move by an hour.
