About EEST (Eastern European Summer Time)
Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) is the daylight saving period used across eastern Europe, when clocks move one hour forward from Eastern European Time (EET, UTC+02:00) to UTC+03:00. It runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, in step with the rest of the European Union. EEST covers Greece, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria, the Baltic states, Ukraine and Moldova, and matches the offset used year-round by Moscow, Istanbul and Riyadh during those months. Athens and Helsinki both sit near the western edge of the EEST band, so summer evenings stay light well past 21:00.
About CET (Central European Time)
Central European Time (CET) is the standard time zone for most of Europe, covering over 30 countries from Spain to Poland, and from Norway to Italy. CET is 1 hour ahead of GMT and is used by the European Union's most populous nations. During summer, most CET countries switch to Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+02:00). Major European financial markets in Frankfurt, Paris, and Amsterdam operate on CET.
