Istanbul is 1 hour ahead of Frankfurt

Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Frankfurt is 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Istanbul.

If you set up a recurring sync, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Frankfurt (9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Istanbul) is the natural home for it. Istanbul is 1 hour ahead of Frankfurt, but you still share a generous 9 hours of overlap, so scheduling is easy and there's room to move a meeting when you need to. These times hold for most of the year, but Frankfurt's daylight saving (which Istanbul doesn't use) shifts them by an hour twice annually.
