Working across Istanbul and Lisbon

Both cities run on banking, so most calls between Istanbul and Lisbon are between people in the same trade. The gap is 2 hours, with Istanbul the one whose clock reads later.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, Istanbul typically 09:00–18:00 and Lisbon 09:00–18:00 local time. On the Istanbul side the dates that break a schedule are Ramadan Feast (end of Ramadan, three days) and Sacrifice Feast (four days, roughly 70 days later); on the Lisbon side, Freedom Day (25 April) and Portugal Day (10 June). Replies slow in Istanbul during the Sacrifice Feast week and in Lisbon during August.

The comfortable window is 11:00–17:00 Istanbul time, which is 09:00–15:00 in Lisbon — 6 shared office hours, enough that nobody has to stretch. Only Lisbon changes its clocks, so the gap shifts by an hour twice a year while Istanbul stays put.
