Arta lies 272 km north-west of Athens, so Dhuhr in Arta is called about 11 minutes later than in Athens. This difference comes from longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Arta.
Finding the Qibla from Arta
In Arta you face towards the south-east, at an angle of 132.3° from true north; the Kaaba is 2,665 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Arta and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E).
