Cosmote (rebranded Telekom in September 2026) is Greece's largest mobile network by connections, yet none of our picks with a confirmed host network names it: they run on Vodafone or Nova.
We compared 6 travel eSIMs for Greece on the price of a 30-day plan at the size most people buy. Right now Ubigi is our top pick at $12, and Nomad works out cheapest per gigabyte ($0.62/GB). Prices update daily from each provider, so the table above always shows the current order.
Greece has three mobile networks: Telekom (called Cosmote until September 2026), Vodafone and Nova. Telekom is the biggest, with 44.4% of mobile connections at the end of 2024 according to the Greek regulator EETT, and Opensignal rates it best for coverage and download speed. None of the eSIMs here say they use Telekom. Ubigi and Airalo name Nova, Airalo also names Vodafone, and Nomad and Sim Local name Vodafone and Wind (Wind's network has been part of Nova since 2023). Yesim and Saily don't say.
Greece is in the EU, so EU roaming rules apply. They don't apply on ships or planes, though, so a Greece-only plan isn't a ferry plan: download maps and tickets before you sail. Turkey isn't in the EU, and none of the providers here says whether its Greece plan works on Turkish networks. If you're staying on Kos, Rhodes, Samos, Lesbos or Chios, keep an eye on which network your phone shows.
Three providers name islands on their Greece pages. Saily lists Athens, Chania, Corfu, Crete, Heraklion, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Thessaloniki. Airalo lists Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos and more. Nomad mentions Athens, Santorini and Rhodes, but warns that coverage may not include overseas territories. Ubigi, Yesim and Sim Local don't name any islands, so we can't confirm either way.
Buy your eSIM before you leave, but start the plan once you land, or the 30 days begin in the airport queue. You can top up in the app once you're on a Greek network.
If you already know how long you're going for and how much data you need, skip to the plans. If not, Plan Match asks a few quick questions and picks a size for you.
The 6 Greece eSIMs reviewed
Each review opens with the verdict. Specs, strengths and limitations follow.
Ubigi

- Greece 50 GB $32 vs Ubigi Europe 50 GB $54
- Rates listing page does not name a host
- Unlimited daily cap not printed on the 30-day page
- No 20 GB 30-day country row
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
Our verdictCheapest at 20 GB and 1 GB for 30 days. From 25 GB up, read Ubigi or Nomad.
- Host network
- Not publicly disclosed
- Coverage
- Islands not named on the shop this pass

- Not the cheapest 30-day row at 10, 25 or 50 GB
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.
TRAVELCITY is 15% off on the live Yesim row. Live-table 10 GB 30-day is $15.93, behind Ubigi at $12. Live-table 30 GB 30-day is $26.17. There is no 30-day unlimited country row (the unlimited row on the live table is 27 days). ID verification is listed as not required on the Greece shop.

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.

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.
5Shop-named Nova and VodafoneAiralo$20
Our verdictNova and Vodafone on the shop. Ubigi if 10 GB price is the whole decision.
- Host network
- Nova and Vodafone (shop)
- Coverage
- Shop names Crete, Santorini, Mykonos, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos and more
- Hotspot
- Not stated on the Greece shop
- Shop names Nova and Vodafone
- Unlimited 30-day exists on the live table with a printed daily cap
- Shop names a specific island list
- 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
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.
6Shop-stated hotspotSaily$21.99ATESIM · 10%
Our verdictNo host on the shop, and a printed hotspot line. Price at 10 GB and 20 GB sits behind Ubigi and Yesim.
- Host network
- Not publicly disclosed
- Coverage
- Shop names Athens, Chania, Corfu, Crete, Heraklion, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini, Thessaloniki
- Hotspot
- No restrictions (Greece shop)
- Unlimited, 30 days
- $71.99, 5 GB/day then 1 Mbps
- 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
- No Greek host on the shop
- Not a cheapest-at-size winner
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.
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.
What Greece data actually costs
Price per GB drops from $2.77/GB at 1 GB to $0.62/GB at 50 GB. Buying one size up often costs less per GB than topping up later. Full list on the live Greece plans table.
A 50 GB plan costs 78% less per GB than a 1 GB plan. Source: All Things eSIM live plan feed, 13 November 2026.
The “unlimited” trap
Unlimited 30-day plans run $55 to $71.99, and 2 of the 4 publish a daily cap before speeds drop. Check the cap before you pay for a label.
How we rank Greece eSIMs
We rank by the 30-day 10 GB country-plan price, pulled daily from each provider’s catalog. When two totals match, a host network named on the shop or SKU breaks the tie.
Greece eSIM FAQs
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.
