Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM in Edinburgh is 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Istanbul.
The sweet spot is 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM Edinburgh time, matching 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Istanbul. Scheduling is forgiving here: with 7 hours of overlap, a missed slot just means picking another one the same day. Heads up: because Edinburgh changes its clocks and Istanbul doesn't, the difference moves by an hour twice a year. Confirm the overlap around the DST switch.
