Best overlap: 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Auckland is 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Istanbul.
Keep meetings inside 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Auckland — that maps to 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM in Istanbul. With about 1 hour of common time, this pairing rewards planning — 5:00 PM in Auckland / 8:00 AM in Istanbul is the slot to defend. These times hold for most of the year, but Auckland's daylight saving (which Istanbul doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
