Common questions

How many hours ahead is San Francisco of Istanbul?

San Francisco is 10 hours behind Istanbul right now. The gap is not fixed: it moves whenever either side changes its clocks.

What is the best time to call between Istanbul and San Francisco?

There is no hour inside working hours in both cities. 17:00–18:00 your time (07:00 there) is the cheapest compromise, and one side is taking a shoulder hour.

Do Istanbul and San Francisco change clocks on the same date?

Only one of them does, so the gap between them changes twice a year even though neither city moved relative to the sun.
