eSIM for Greece

Your home carrier often charges $10 or more per day to use your phone abroad. A week in Athens and the islands could cost you $70 just in roaming fees. Our Greece eSIM connects to local networks Nova and Vodafone, so you pay Greek data prices instead.

The cheapest plan starts at $1.29. That is less than a single coffee near Syntagma Square. You buy it before you fly, scan one code, and your phone is ready the moment you land at Athens International Airport.

The smartest way to save money is to pick a plan that fits how long you stay and how heavy a user you are. We sell plans by both data size and number of days, so you only pay for what your trip needs.

A weekend in Athens is a different job than two weeks island hopping. Short layovers, long beach holidays, and remote work trips all call for different plans. The sections below give you the real numbers for each.

If you are passing through for a day or sorting out a connection at the airport, you do not need much. The 1 GB for 1 days plan at $1.29 covers maps to your hotel, a few messages home, and checking a ferry time.

Staying a week but light on your phone? The 1 GB for 7 days plan at $1.29 spreads that same gigabyte across the whole week. It is enough for someone who mostly uses hotel and cafe WiFi and only needs data for directions and quick check ins.

Most people visiting Greece for a week or two land in the middle. They use Google Maps in Athens, look up tavernas, post photos from Santorini, and call home now and then. For that, the 3 GB for 15 days plan at $2.10 is hard to beat. Two dollars for over two weeks of data is the kind of value roaming will never give you.

If your trip is closer to a month, the 3 GB for 30 days plan at $2.24 keeps the same low cost and stretches the validity. Both plans assume you lean on WiFi at your hotel for big downloads and save the mobile data for when you are out exploring.

Streaming music on the ferry, uploading lots of photos and video, or working from a laptop on a hotspot eats through data fast. For that, step up to the 10 GB for 30 days plan at $5.99. It handles daily navigation, social media, video calls, and plenty of streaming for a full month.

If you are staying a long time, running a hotspot for a family, or doing serious remote work, the 50 GB for 30 days plan at $29.40 is the top tier. It still works out far cheaper than a month of roaming or buying several smaller plans one after another.

The eSIM rides on Nova and Vodafone, two of the main networks in Greece. You get strong 4G and 5G in Athens, Thessaloniki, and the city centers. The big islands like Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Mykonos, and Santorini all have solid coverage in their towns and main beaches.

Two real world tips. Signal can drop in open water on long ferry crossings between islands, so download maps and tickets before you sail. And in remote mountain villages or tiny coves, speeds may dip. For day to day travel in the places tourists actually go, the network is reliable.

Buy and install the eSIM while you are still home on WiFi. After you pay, you get a QR code by email. On iPhone go to Settings, then Cellular, then Add eSIM, and scan the code. On Android go to Settings, then SIM Manager or Connections, then Add eSIM, and scan.

Here is the money saving part. The day counter on most plans starts when the eSIM connects in Greece, not when you install it. So set it up early, leave it switched off, and only turn it on plus enable data roaming once you land. That way none of your paid days get wasted sitting at home.

One note for island hoppers: the ferries from Rhodes, Kos, Chios and Lesbos to the Turkish coast cross out of the EU roaming zone entirely. Your Greek or European plan will not follow you to Bodrum or Marmaris, so if the Turkish side is on your itinerary, add an eSIM for Turkey before you sail.
