Shanghai 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 Shanghai.

Both teams are at their desks between 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Athens and 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Shanghai. With about 5 hours of overlap, there's comfortable room for a daily stand-up — 8:00 AM in Athens / 1:00 PM in Shanghai works well. One seasonal catch: Athens springs forward and falls back, but Shanghai doesn't, so the gap changes by an hour for several months of the year.
