Is it good enough for remote beaches?

Coverage follows Greece's major networks; popular islands and coastal towns are well served, while very remote coves may drop to 4G or lower signal, as with any local SIM.

I'm visiting more than one European country — do I need separate eSIMs?

No. If Greece is one stop on a bigger European trip, the Europe regional eSIM covers 54 countries on one plan and switches partner networks automatically at every border — no new QR codes.

Will my eSIM work as soon as I land in Greece?

Yes — install it at home on Wi-Fi before you fly, then switch the line on when you land. It joins a partner network in Greece automatically, usually before you reach baggage claim. Your days only start counting at that first connection.

Do I keep my own number and WhatsApp in Greece?

Yes. This is a data-only eSIM that runs alongside your home SIM. Your number stays active for calls and texts, and WhatsApp keeps working on your usual number the whole trip.

When do my days start counting?

Only when the eSIM first connects to a network in Greece — not when you buy or install it. Buying ahead of your trip is completely safe.

Which phones work with a Greece eSIM?

Most phones from 2018 onward: iPhone XS and newer, Samsung Galaxy S20 and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, plus many recent Xiaomi, Oppo and Motorola models. Your phone must also be carrier-unlocked — check yours in 30 seconds on our compatibility page.

Good to know

Ferries between islands reconnect automatically — no settings to touch between Santorini and Mykonos.

The Greece eSIM guide.

Greek holidays move — Athens for a night, then ferries, then a different island every few days. Your eSIM reconnects automatically at each port, keeping ferry tickets, taverna finds and beach navigation working across the whole Aegean.

How it works on the day

One national plan covers the mainland and the islands. Install at home, switch on in Athens or straight into an island airport like Santorini or Kos.

Choosing your days

Island-hopping fortnights are the sweet spot — 10–15 days lands in the discounted day-rate band.
