Is 5G available in Greece?
All three operators run wide 5G networks covering most of the population, including the mainland cities and larger islands, so a 5G phone will spend most of its time on 5G in populated areas.
How much data do you need in Greece?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Greece right now:
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Greece?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Greece starts at $2.87 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your Greece eSIM
Buy your planYou get a QR code by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Airport and hotel wifi can be weak.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network.
Check the validity clockSome plans start counting at purchase, not at first use. Check before you buy.
Good to know before you land in Greece
Greece requires passport registration for prepaid SIMs, so bring it when you buy. EU visitors can roam on their home plan under EU rules.
Athens airport has Sim Local kiosks at arrivals and baggage reclaim, open 6am to 10pm, plus operator options. Expect 10 to 30 euros for a tourist SIM with 15 to 20 GB, and note Vodafone adds an activation fee of about 12.50 euros. Street kiosks in Athens sell 30 day unlimited data SIMs for around 12 euros.
Coverage is good across inhabited islands and tourist areas, and any of the three networks works well in cities. Buy in town rather than at the airport to skip the markup.
