Which eSIM is best for travel in Greece?

Greece has no dedicated eSIM; all options are multi-country plans

Unlike some other countries, Greece doesn't offer dedicated eSIM plans — all available options are multi-country plans covering multiple European nations. So if you're visiting other European countries too, you won't need to buy a separate card for each one.

There are 46 multi-country plan options, so whether you're planning a short trip or a longer stay, you can find a suitable plan. However, pay special attention to the coverage when choosing, as different plans may vary in their coverage within Greece.

Coverage: Main cities and islands are stable, but smaller islands may have dead zones

In major Greek cities like Athens and popular tourist islands such as Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete, the network coverage is good, with both 5G and 4G LTE available and stable.

However, smaller islands and ferry routes may experience signal loss. This is due to geographical and technical limitations, not just network issues.

It's recommended to download offline maps and important data before travelling to smaller islands or taking ferry trips, so you can continue your journey even without a network connection.

Practical advice: How to choose the right plan?

• Short Trips with Concentrated Stays → Choose a daily fixed plan to top up usage daily and avoid waste.
• Long Trips with Unstable Usage → Opt for a total data plan for flexible usage allocation, ideal for extended travel.
• Mainly Staying in Urban Areas → With good city network coverage, a basic plan will suffice.
• Planning Island Tours or Boat Travel → Consider choosing a plan with wider coverage and download offline data in advance.
