Istanbul is 1 hour ahead of Zurich

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

For the smoothest call, aim inside 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM in Zurich, i.e. 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Istanbul. Istanbul is 1 hour ahead of Zurich, but you'd hardly notice — 9 hours of shared hours makes this feel like working in neighbouring time zones. For part of the year the maths changes: Zurich observes daylight saving, Istanbul does not, shifting the overlap by an hour.
