A Greece eSIM costs from $1.29 (1GB for 30 days) to $9.71 (20GB for 20 days) and runs on Vodafone and Wind with 5G. There's also an unlimited plan at $1.94 a day, for 3 to 90 days. Validity starts on your first connection in Greece, not on the day you buy, and your home number stays active for WhatsApp. You can share data over hotspot. Plans are data only; calls go through WhatsApp or other apps.
A Greek island-hopping trip usually means ferry transfers between islands where a local SIM shop isn't always around. A pre-installed eSIM solves exactly that — you arrive at each island already connected.

What should I know before a trip to Greece?
In Greece the plan runs on Vodafone and Wind, both on 5G. If you're continuing on to Cyprus or combining Greece with other European countries, both countries also appear in the Europe plan's network list.
In Athens and Thessaloniki taxis are mostly booked through FREENOW, or through Uber — which in Greece sends a regular metered yellow taxi rather than a private car. Smaller islands usually have no ride-hailing apps at all, and local taxi numbers are posted at the port or the hotel. If an older guide recommends Beat, it stopped operating in Greece in 2022.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Message us in the chat in the corner of the screen, or reach out through our contact form
Which networks does the Greece eSIM use?
Vodafone and Wind, both with 5G. Your phone connects to whichever is stronger where you are.
Does the eSIM work on the Greek islands?
Yes. The plan covers all of Greece, islands included, wherever Vodafone or Wind have signal. Install it before the trip and you're connected on every island you reach.
Can I use the same plan in Cyprus or Italy?
No. This plan covers Greece only. If your trip combines Greece with Cyprus, Italy or other European countries, the Europe plan covers 35 countries in one plan.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Greece?
Yes. The unlimited plan is priced per day, from 3 to 90 days, with full-speed data up to 3GB a day and a lower speed after that. Hotspot may not work on it.
Are eSIM, digital SIM, and virtual SIM all the same thing?
Yes. An eSIM (also called a digital SIM or virtual SIM) is a SIM with no physical component, installed on your device by scanning a QR code instead of inserting a card. You use it exactly like a regular SIM for data abroad, without hunting for a SIM kiosk at your destination.
Does my device support eSIM technology?
Most smartphones released in the last five years support eSIM. We recommend checking your device settings, or looking up your phone model in the FlySim compatibility checker. Open the compatibility checker
How exactly does activation work?
After payment, you'll receive a unique QR code by email. Scan it in your device's cellular settings (Add eSIM), confirm, and that's it.
