Eastern European Time ties together a stretch of the continent with little else in common: Arctic Finland, the Baltic states, Greece and its islands, Romania and Bulgaria on the Black Sea, and Ukraine. From Helsinki's white nights to a late Athenian summer, about the only thing these places reliably share is the meridian.
