What is the best eSIM for Greece?
+
For travellers who want Greek mobile data on the phone they already own, eSIMbundle is a strong option. Buy a Greece bundle before departure, land at Athens, Thessaloniki or an island airport, and use Google Maps, Ferryhopper, Beat and WhatsApp straight away. A VPN is included with every plan.
Which mobile network does eSIMbundle use in Greece?
+
In Greece, eSIMbundle connects to Nova. Your eSIM joins it automatically after landing, so you never need to choose a carrier. Nova supports 4G and 5G.
Does eSIMbundle have good coverage across Greece?
+
Coverage is generally comfortable across Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, Santorini, Mykonos and other popular islands. Signal can weaken on long open-water ferry crossings, on mountainous island interiors and on very secluded beaches away from populated areas.
Is 5G available with a Greece eSIM, and how fast is it?
+
4G is broadly available across populated Greece and 5G is generally strong across Athens, Thessaloniki and larger island towns. Whether your phone connects on 4G or 5G in a specific spot depends on your device, the available partner network and live local conditions.
How much data do I need for 7, 15 or 30 days in Greece?
+
Light users on Maps and messaging often manage on 1–3 GB a week. Normal travellers using Ferryhopper, ride apps, translation, streaming and hotel bookings usually want 5–10 GB a week. Heavy video or hotspot users can push past 20 GB a week. Use the Travel Data Calculator to size a Greece plan for your trip.
Does a Greece eSIM include a Greek phone number, calls or SMS?
+
eSIMbundle Greece plans are data plans. Use mobile data for WhatsApp, FaceTime and other internet-based calling and messaging. Keep your normal SIM active for calls, SMS and verification messages, subject to your home carrier's roaming charges and support.
Can I keep my normal SIM, phone number and WhatsApp?
+
Yes. On a compatible dual-SIM phone, keep your normal SIM installed and use your eSIMbundle eSIM for mobile data. Your normal phone number stays with your home SIM, and WhatsApp continues using the number already registered to your account.
Can I add more data while I am in Greece?
+
Yes. In the eSIMbundle app, open Store or Add data and buy a separate bundle on the same installed profile. Each bundle has its own allowance and validity and may wait before first use. Eligible finite bundles offer saved-card auto top-up at 80% used, up to your approved package price. Manage it under Account → Auto top-up; check existing replacement orders before buying again.
Should I buy my Greece eSIM before travelling?
+
Yes. Open the eSIMbundle app → Account → My eSIM → Set up your eSIM and use Install eSIM on this phone, or QR/manual fallback. Confirm the profile appears in phone settings. Installation does not start the bundle; first supported use in coverage does. At your destination, enable the line, select it for data and enable its Data Roaming setting. Keep the profile after the trip.
Does eSIMbundle include a VPN in Greece?
+
Yes. Use VPN inside the eSIMbundle app with your normal account. VPN connection requires an active qualifying bundle, including on Wi-Fi. Prepare the app before departure; a bundle awaiting first use may not yet provide access. Choose a country and connect. VPN does not guarantee access to every service.
Does the eSIM work on Greek islands and ferries?
+
Yes on populated islands. Coverage is generally comfortable across Santorini, Mykonos, Crete and other popular island towns and their airports. Between islands, long open-water ferry crossings can thin signal from any Greek carrier — including your eSIM partner network — until the boat comes back into range.
Can I use the same eSIM on my next trip elsewhere?
+
Yes. Your eSIMbundle eSIM stays installed on your phone. When you travel to another supported destination, add a bundle for it in your account and it activates on the same eSIM — no new installation required.
