Description George Vlahavas 2008-03-14 19:04:56 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
All locations in Greece should default to the Europe/Athens timezone. Now, if I add a location like Europe/Greece/Thessaloniki/Macedonia will give me a Europe/Skopje timezone! Similarly Europe/Greece/Kerkyra will give me Europe/Tirane, Europe/Greece/Kerkyra will give me Europe/Sofia, Europe/Greece/Alexandroupoli will give me Europe/Istanbul etc. This results to times not being right, right now the clock is showing 21:10 but the Thessaloniki location where I live is showing 23:10!

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a new clock location
2. Select Europe/Greece/Thessaloniki/Macedonia for the location for example
3. 


Actual results:
The timezone will be set to Europe/Skopje

Expected results:
Europe/Athens is the correct timezone for every location in Greece.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.
