The day is 10 hours 12 minutes long in Athens, and losing 2 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:09 pm, 9 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Athens sits 25 minutes of solar time west of UTC+2:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.
The solar year swings 5 hours 16 minutes in Athens: 14 hours 48 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 9 hours 32 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
