Why people convert EET to AKST time
- Scheduling a call from EET to AKST: a 10:00 AM start in EET lands at 11:00 PM in AKST the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -11h gap: EET and AKST have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in AKST is 10:00 PM in EET.
- Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in EET is 9:00 AM in AKST makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM EET" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -11h gap is not.
- With a -11h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week EET takes the early slot, the next week AKST does.
About EET (Eastern European Time)
Eastern European Time (EET) covers a wide geographical area including Eastern Europe (Finland, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine), the Middle East (Israel, Lebanon, Jordan), and northeastern Africa (Egypt, Libya). During summer, most EET countries switch to Eastern European Summer Time (EEST, UTC+03:00). Turkey permanently moved to UTC+03:00 in 2016, effectively leaving EET.
About AKST (Alaska Standard Time)
Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is used in nearly all of Alaska. Due to Alaska's vast geographic size, the Aleutian Islands use Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time instead. During summer months, Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT, UTC-08:00).
Best time to call between EET and AKST
With a -11h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. AKST opens at 9:00 AM AKST, which is 10:00 PM in EET, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.
Business hours overlap
EET and AKST have no shared working hours because of the -11h gap. Teams need to alternate early starts or rely on asynchronous handovers.
EET is 11 hours behind AKST (EET UTC+02:00 → AKST UTC-09:00). There is no shared 9-to-5 window, so plan around an early or late slot. Remember to re-check around daylight-saving transitions.
