The animation shows what the eclipse approximately looks like in Athens. Stages and times of the eclipse are outlined below. All times are local time (EET) for Athens.
| Time | Phase | Event | Direction | Altitude |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:35 pm Mon, Nov 11 | Partial Transit begins Mercury touches the Sun's edge. |  218° | 24.9° | |
| 2:37 pm Mon, Nov 11 | Full Transit begins Mercury is fully within the Sun's edge. Watch out for the black drop effect, an optical illusion seemingly connecting Mercury's disc to the Sun's edge. | 219° | 24.6° | |
| 5:14 pm Mon, Nov 11 | Nearest Sun's center Mercury is closest to the center of the Sun as seen from Athens. Since the Sun is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-southwest for the best view of the transit. Additionally, the eclipsed moon combined with dimming near horizon might make the Moon very hard or impossible to see. | 247° | 0.2° | |
| 5:15 pm Mon, Nov 11 | Transit ongoing during sunset Mercury Transit is already ongoing during sunset in Athens. Since the Sun is near the horizon at this time, we recommend going to a high point or finding an unobstructed area with free sight to West-southwest for the best view of the transit. | 248° | -0.0° |
