Setup
Set up your eSIM before you travel — it takes about a minute. Scan once, switch it on when you arrive, and you’re online.

11 plans for Greece, from 3 to 50 GB. Validity runs from 1 day to 180 days. 11 of them run on 5G where the local network has it.
7 plans can be topped up without installing a second eSIM. Plans run on Wind, Vodafone.
Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure — the plan list above this section is the same data.
No regional bundle covers Greece — a single-country plan is the only option here, which is usually the cheaper one anyway.
A travel eSIM for Greece is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. It stays dormant until you arrive in Greece, then connects automatically to Wind, Vodafone on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM simply carries your data.
Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Greece plans start at $3.99 across 9 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.
No. A travel eSIM for Greece is a local data plan, not international roaming — you pay the price you see up front, with no per-megabyte bill from your home carrier. Set the eSIM as your data line and switch data roaming off on your home SIM, and there are no surprises when you get home. Full refund any time before you install, so there’s no risk in buying ahead.

Greece connectivity guide
Greece is a country where your connectivity depends less on which network you are on than on whether you are currently on a boat. Mainland and major-island coverage is strong, Athens and Thessaloniki are dense, and then the ferry between two islands drops you offline for two hours in the middle of the Aegean. This guide covers which networks you get, what the crossings actually do to your signal, how the smaller islands differ from the big ones, and what a Greek trip consumes.
