Coverage and networks

Greece has three major operators: Cosmote, Vodafone and Nova. Cosmote has the broadest coverage and reaches around 99 percent of populated areas with 4G, including most islands. In Athens, Thessaloniki and on large islands such as Crete, Rhodes and Corfu, the network is excellent. Smaller or remote islands and mountainous regions can have a weaker signal. Networks: Cosmote, Vodafone, Nova.

For a week of island hopping or a beach holiday, 5 to 10 GB is a safe choice. Many hotels and beach bars offer free wifi, but on smaller islands that is less reliable.

Greece falls under EU roaming, so EU travellers can surf there with their own bundle. An eSIM is handy for island hopping or with a small data bundle.
