Six Greece travel eSIMs, ranked on the 30-day country-plan price at the size you would buy. At 10 GB on the live table that is Ubigi $12, Yesim $15.93, Nomad $18, Sim Local $19.50, Airalo $20, Saily $21.99. Named host is the tiebreak. There is no 10 GB tie.

Opensignal's March 2026 Greece report (90 days to 29 December 2025) gave Cosmote Best Network, Consistent Quality at 77.3 percent, and Coverage Experience at 8.4 out of 10. Vodafone sat at 7.6 on that coverage score, Nova at 6.6. The same report quotes EETT's February 2026 Market Review: 13.5 million active mobile connections at the end of 2024, with Cosmote on 44.4 percent, Vodafone 34.1 percent, Nova 21.5 percent. Shops that name a host this pass list Nova (Ubigi 10 GB SKU, Airalo) and Vodafone / Wind (Nomad shop, Sim Local 5 GB SKU). None of the six named Cosmote as the only host.

Greece is in the EU 27 (European Commission roaming brochure). Turkey is not on that list. The same brochure says EU roaming rules do not apply on-board vessels and planes. A Greece-only plan is not a ferry plan. Download maps and tickets before you sail. No first-party named Turkish latch, so Kos, Rhodes, Samos, Lesbos and Chios stay empty for latch.

Nomad's Greece shop warns that coverage may not include overseas territories. The same page markets Athens, Santorini and Rhodes. That list is Nomad's. Saily's Greece shop names Athens, Chania, Corfu, Crete, Heraklion, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Thessaloniki. That list is Saily's. Airalo's Greece shop names Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos and more. That list is Airalo's. Crete, Rhodes and the rest stay empty for Ubigi, Yesim and Sim Local.

The order is 10 GB 30-day totals on the live Greece table. Named host only matters if two rows later meet at the same total; none do this pass. Buy before you leave. Start the plan after landing, or the 30 days begin in the airport queue. Top-ups stay available once you are on a Greek network.

If you already know trip length and data, skip to the plans. If you still need a size, Plan Match at /plan-match asks those two questions.

All 6 compared on the same numbers

“Cheapest per GB” is the best value across a provider’s whole Greece range; the columns after it hold the size fixed so providers are compared like for like. All figures come from live plans, refreshed daily. Host network is the local carrier each provider actually rides — the thing that decides how well an eSIM works away from the coast and the big cities.

“No plan” means the provider sells nothing at that size in Greece, not that it is unavailable. Fair-use caps are taken from each provider’s own published policy and cited in the unlimited table below; where a provider publishes no figure we say so rather than estimate one.

Ubigi is the cheapest 30-day row at 10 GB ($12) and at 25 GB ($22). The 10 GB 30-day SKU names Nova. The rates listing page does not. The same SKU says data sharing is allowed.

Unlimited 30-day on the live table is $55 with no printed daily cap. Do not read a daily GB into that row.

Same provider, same 50 GB, 30 days: Greece $32, Europe $54. If the trip stays inside Greece, that country 50 GB is $32; Ubigi's Europe 50 GB is $54. TRAVELCITY10 is 10% off on the live Ubigi row. There is no 20 GB 30-day Greece country row on the live table.

Yesim is the cheapest 30-day row at 20 GB ($20.48) and at 1 GB ($2.62). The Greece shop did not name a host, so the host stays unpublished. Specs say hotspot depends on the operator. That is not a yes.

Nomad's Greece shop names Vodafone / Wind. The same page says hotspot and tethering are supported, and that coverage may not include overseas territories.

Nomad is the cheapest 30-day row at 50 GB, $31, $0.62 per GB. That is also the cheapest per-gigabyte 30-day country row on the live table. Ubigi's 50 GB 30-day is $32. Airalo's is $42. At 10 GB Nomad is $18, behind Ubigi and Yesim.

Same provider, same 50 GB, 30 days: Greece $31, Europe $35, Global $129. If the trip stays inside Greece, that country 50 GB is $31; Nomad Europe is $35 and Global is $129. ATESIM is 20% off on the live Nomad row, through 31 Dec 2027, with the exclusions on /discount-codes. Unlimited on this shop is 3, 5, 7 and 10 days. There is no 30-day unlimited country row.

Sim Local is the cheapest 30-day row at 5 GB, $9.75. The live table also has Greece 10 GB 30-day at $19.50 and Greece 20 GB 30-day at $21.50. The 5 GB, 10 GB and 20 GB product pages name Vodafone, Wind. The same pages say hotspot and tethering: yes. The plan-selection listing does not name a host.

The live dest 5 GB row shows ATESIM at 10%. That is Sim Local's dest code this pass, not Nomad's 20% standing offer. Orange Holiday World is a world plan, not a Greece country plan. It is not in this ranking. Unlimited rows on the live table are 7-day only. Smartroam SKUs on the same site name Cosmote as well; those are a different product line.

Airalo

FROM$0.84/GB
Host networkNova and Vodafone (shop)
CoverageShop names Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos and more
HotspotNot stated on the Greece shop

Airalo's Greece shop names Nova as the primary network. The same page's network list names Vodafone as the other. Operator copy on that shop names Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos and more. That list is Airalo's.

Live-table 50 GB 30-day is $42, $0.84 per GB, behind Nomad at $31 and Ubigi at $32. Live-table 10 GB 30-day is $20. Live-table 20 GB 30-day is $35.50. Unlimited 30-day is $69 with a 3 GB/day cap, then 1 Mbps. The Greece shop did not state a hotspot policy.

Strengths

  • +Shop names a specific island list
Limitations
  • −Hotspot not stated on the Greece shop
  • −More expensive than Ubigi at 10 GB 30-day and more expensive than Yesim at 20 GB 30-day

CoverageShop names Athens, Chania, Corfu, Crete, Heraklion, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini, Thessaloniki
HotspotNo restrictions (Greece shop)
Unlimited, 30 days$71.99, 5 GB/day then 1 Mbps

Saily's Greece shop still does not name a carrier. It does say hotspot: no restrictions or limitations, and speed 3G/4G/LTE/5G depending on the local network. Those two lines are why it is pick 6. Live 10 GB 30-day is $21.99. Live 20 GB 30-day is $37.99. Unlimited 30-day is $71.99, 5 GB/day then 1 Mbps. The same shop lists Athens, Chania, Corfu, Crete, Heraklion, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Thessaloniki. That list is Saily's, not a claim for the other five.

Strengths
  • +Greece shop states no hotspot restrictions
  • +Shop names a specific island and city list
  • +Shop speed line is 3G/4G/LTE/5G, tied to the unnamed local network
Limitations
  • −No Greek host on the shop
  • −Not a cheapest-at-size winner
Verdict · No host on the shop, and a printed hotspot line. Price at 10 GB and 20 GB sits behind Ubigi and Yesim.

What it actually costs

What Greece data actually costs

Greece travel eSIM prices look random until you convert every plan to one number: the real cost per gigabyte. Here is what that reveals right now.

The cheapest plan at each size, 30 days

DataCheapest providerTotalPrice per GB
50 GBNomad$31$0.62/GBGet plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM
25 GBUbigi$22$0.88/GBGet plan ↗🏷 10% off with code TRAVELCITY10
20 GBYesim$20.48$1.02/GBGet plan ↗🏷 15% off with code TRAVELCITY
10 GBUbigi$12$1.20/GBGet plan ↗🏷 10% off with code TRAVELCITY10
5 GBSim Local$9.75$1.95/GBGet plan ↗🏷 10% off with code ATESIM
1 GBYesim$2.62$2.62/GBGet plan ↗🏷 15% off with code TRAVELCITY

Cost per GB rises from $0.62/GB at 50 GB to $2.62/GB at 1 GB. Buying a little more data than you expect to use is almost always cheaper per gigabyte than buying exactly what you need.

The "unlimited" trap

The same words, unlimited for 30 days, cover a wide price range, and most plans slow down after a daily threshold that the label hides.

ProviderUnlimited, 30 daysFair-use cap
Maya$49.993 GB/day, then 10 Mbps sourceGet plan ↗🏷 10% off with code ATESIM
Ubigi$55Not publishedGet plan ↗🏷 10% off with code TRAVELCITY10

Airalo$693 GB/day, then 1 Mbps sourceGet plan ↗
Saily$71.995 GB/day, then 1 Mbps sourceGet plan ↗

Unlimited 30 day plans run from $49.99 to $71.99, a spread of about 44 percent, for a label that means the same thing on paper. Check the daily cap before you buy, especially if you plan to tether a laptop.

Do not overpay for coverage you will not use

If your whole trip is in Greece, a Greece only plan is far cheaper per gigabyte than a Europe or global plan carrying the same data. Same provider (Nomad), same 50 GB, 30 days:

Nomad planPricePrice per GB
Greece only$31$0.62/GBGet plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM
Europe$35$0.70/GBGet plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM
Global$129$2.58/GBGet plan ↗🏷 20% off with code ATESIM

A Greece only plan costs much less per gigabyte than a regional or global plan with the same data. Only pay for the wider plan if you are actually crossing borders on this trip.

The bottom line

Ubigi wins 10 GB and 25 GB for 30 days. Yesim wins 20 GB and 1 GB. Nomad wins 50 GB. Sim Local wins 5 GB. At 10 GB the live-table order is Ubigi, Yesim, Nomad, Sim Local, Airalo, Saily. Hosts: Ubigi Nova on the SKU, Nomad and Sim Local on Vodafone / Wind, Airalo on Nova and Vodafone. Yesim and Saily stay unpublished on the shop. Nomad, Sim Local and Saily print a hotspot line. Yesim says it depends on the operator. Ubigi SKU says data sharing allowed.

Turkey sits outside the EU 27. Ferries sit outside EU roaming. Crete and Rhodes stay empty for Ubigi, Yesim and Sim Local. Saily, Airalo and Nomad each print their own list.

The live Greece table is at /greece. Plan Match is /plan-match.

Frequently asked questions

Does a Greece eSIM work in Crete, Rhodes or Santorini?

Saily's Greece shop names those islands on its coverage copy. Airalo's Greece shop names Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos and more. Nomad markets Athens, Santorini and Rhodes, then warns that overseas territories may be excluded. Those cells stay empty for Ubigi, Yesim and Sim Local.

Does it work on ferries, or near Turkey?

European Commission roaming brochure: EU roaming rules do not apply on-board vessels and planes. A Greece-only plan is not a ferry plan. Turkey is not in the EU 27. No first-party named latch, so the cell stays empty.

What happens if I run out of data?

Buy another Greece plan in the app. The shops stay open.

Can I tether or use a hotspot?

Nomad Greece shop: yes. Sim Local 5/10/20 GB SKUs: yes. Saily Greece shop: no hotspot restrictions. Yesim Greece shop: depends on the operator. Ubigi 10 GB SKU: data sharing allowed. Airalo Greece shop did not state a tethering line, so it is omitted.

Travel eSIM or a local SIM?

Athens week or a fortnight of islands: travel eSIM. A Greek number, or a month-plus: Cosmote, Vodafone or Nova prepaid, with passport registration. Yesim's Greece shop lists ID verification as not required for the travel eSIM.

Which network will I actually use?

Ubigi 10 GB SKU: Nova. Nomad shop: Vodafone / Wind. Sim Local 5/10/20 GB SKUs: Vodafone, Wind. Airalo shop: Nova and Vodafone. Yesim and Saily: unpublished on the shop. Opensignal's March 2026 report is a coverage map for Cosmote, Vodafone and Nova. It does not name a host for these picks.
