Greece: 11 plans, 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 includes Greece cover — a single-country plan is the only option here, and it is usually the cheaper one anyway.
A Greece travel eSIM is a digital SIM that downloads straight to your phone — no plastic card, no queuing at an airport counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (the QR code is in there too), and your phone adds a second line alongside your normal SIM. It stays dormant until your trip begins, then connects automatically to Wind, Vodafone on 5G where available, LTE everywhere else. Your normal number carries on working for calls and texts while the eSIM handles the data.
Maps, messaging and taxi apps use very little data — roughly 300–500 MB a day. If you add photos, social media and the occasional video, expect to use closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip, a 5 GB plan is usually plenty; for two weeks, tethering, or heavy use, opt for 10 GB or more, or choose a top-up plan you can reload as you go. Greece plans start at £3.30 across 9 sizes, with the per-GB price clearly shown so you can easily spot the best value.
Yes. A Greece travel eSIM is a local data plan rather than international roaming — you pay the price you saw online, and there are no per-megabyte charges from your home network provider. Set the eSIM as your mobile data line, switch data roaming off on your normal SIM, and nothing unexpected turns up on your next bill. Full refund at any time before installation, so buying ahead costs you nothing.

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.
