Light colours indicate countries not observing daylight saving

Eastern European Time (EET) is one of the names of UTC+2 time zone, 2 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time. It is used in some European, North African, and Middle Eastern countries. Most of them also use Eastern European Summer Time (UTC+3) as a summer daylight saving time.

Anomalies

Since political, in addition to purely geographical, criteria are used in the drawing of time zones, it follows that actual time zones do not precisely adhere to meridian lines. The EET (UTC+2) time zone, were it drawn by purely geographical terms, would consist of exactly the area between meridians 22 30' E and 37 30' E. As a result, there are European locales that despite lying in an area with a "physical" UTC+2 time, actually use another time zone; contrariwise, there are European areas that have gone for UTC+2, even though their "physical" time zone is different from that. Following is a list of such "incongruencies":

Countries (or parts thereof) east of 22 30' E ("physical" UTC+2) that use UTC+1

• The easternmost part of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, including the city of Strumica
• The absolutely easternmost part of Serbia, in the Pirot District, including the city of Pirot
• The extreme easternmost tips of Hungary and Slovakia, bordering to the north and south respectively the Ukrainian Transcarpathian Oblast (Zakarpattia Oblast), a bit to the east of the Vásárosnamény, Hungary - Uzhhorod, Ukraine (both at 22 18' E) line
• The easternmost part of Poland, including the cities of Lublin and Białystok
• The extreme northeast of Sweden, in the Norrbotten province, including the cities of Kalix and Haparanda
• The northeast of Norway, lying north of Finland, roughly coinciding with the county of Finnmark; for instance Vadsø, the capital of Finnmark, has a longitude of 23 49′ E. Actually, the easternmost town in Norway, Vardø, lies at 30 51′ E, which is so far east, so as to be east even of the central meridian of EET (UTC+2), i.e. east of Istanbul and Alexandria. It is also interesting to note that the Norwegian-Russian border (incl. border passings such as Kirkenes) is the only place where CET (UTC+1) borders Moscow time (UTC+3), resulting in a two (2) hours time change for the passenger crossing that border. More so, there exists a "tri-zone" point (where UTC+1, UTC+2, and UTC+3 meet) at the Norway-Finland-Russia tripoint (look for the town of Nautsi in this map). Actually, it is interesting to perform the following mental experiment when looking at this map: Go to the westernmost point of the red area (the Jäniskoski-Niskakoski area); this belongs to Russian jurisdiction, hence the time there is UTC+3. Then, take a northeastern (NE) direction (that is an eastwards direction); you will soon be crossing into Finnish territory, thus moving to the UTC+2 time zone. Continuing in that direction, you will eventually reach the Finland-Norway border and enter Norway, thus passing into the UTC+1 time zone. So, moving in a (north-)easterly direction, you will actually be moving from UTC+3 to UTC+2 to UTC+1!

• Eastern Turkey, incl. inter alia the cities of Van (43 37' E), Diyarbakir, Trabzon (Trapezous), and Malatya; practically, it comprises all Turkish territory east of Gaziantep. Strictly speaking this is not geographical Europe, albeit political one. The easternmost city of Turkey is Şemdinli at 44' 34 E; that is very close to the 45th meridian, which precisely corresponds to UTC+3. There are two "tri-zone" points involving Turkey:
  • The Turkey - Iraq - Iran tripoint in the summer only: Turkey follows UTC+2 with DST, Iraq follows UTC+2 with no DST, and Iran follows UTC+3:30 with no DST
  • The Turkey - Azerbaijan (Nakhichevan exclave) - Iran tripoint: Turkey follows UTC+2 with DST, Azerbaijan follows UTC+4 with DST, and Iran follows UTC+3:30 with no DST

  The Norway - Russia - Finland "tri-zone" point (see Central European Time) is the only other one in Europe. However, all three countries it involves are European, unlike the two Turkish "tri-zone" points, in which only Turkey is European; the two Turkish "tri-zone" points lie on the border of political Europe, whereas the one in Karelia lies within (both political and geographical) Europe.
