yes but i dont know what i must write :S i am confused about date times and i dont know how timezone/offset works

I'm in the US, east coast, my time zone is "EST" (Eastern Standard Time) and the offset here is -5 (minus 5 hours from GMT (Grenwich Mean Time, the 0 point for time zones..) Presumably greece is a few hours ahead of GMT. You can google info about your time zone.

you're in EET timezone and the offset is +2 (+3 in daylight saving)

Where is your shell located ? what country? that may help us a little to start with.

These might help, assuming your shell is linux..If not, try googling "setting <some shell/platform> timezone" where <some shell/platform> might be "bsd" or "bash" or whatever your particular case may be.
