Our verdict
For most trips to Greece, a mid-size data plan on Simzora is the best balance of price and coverage, running on the main national local partner networks so you stay online across Athens, Thessaloniki and the islands like Santorini and Crete. Plans start from $2.49 with honest per-GB pricing, and every eSIM is delivered instantly by QR so you can install it before you fly and activate it on your first connection in Greece.

About 1 to 3GB suits a short city break or a long weekend where you mainly need Google Maps, WhatsApp and the odd browse. Cafes, hotels and many tavernas offer free WiFi across Athens and the islands, which stretches a small plan further if you sync photos and updates while connected.
About 5 to 10GB is the sweet spot for a week in Greece, covering daily maps, social feeds, browsing, messaging and sharing a reasonable number of holiday photos. This is the plan most travellers should pick for a one to two week trip without watching the counter.
20GB or more is for streaming video, tethering a laptop over hotspot or working remotely from a base in Athens or Crete. If you see an unlimited option, read it as a set full-speed allowance each day rather than truly infinite data, since speeds may ease once that daily amount is used.
Every Simzora plan is a plain data amount at an honest per-GB price. Here is the full standard range for Greece, with what each size actually suits.

Turn on data roaming at arrival and get online. Your plan starts on its first connection in Greece, not at purchase.
No hype, just how the service actually behaves once you land.
Simzora plans use the established Greek local partner networks, which give strong 4G and 5G across cities such as Athens and Thessaloniki and good service in busy island spots like Santorini and Mykonos. Coverage is dependable in towns and along main roads, though it can thin out on remote mountain routes, small uninhabited islands and some ferry crossings, so expect the odd gap away from populated areas.
Every Simzora plan is a plain amount of data at a clear per-GB price, with plans starting from $2.49, so you always know what you are buying. We do not sell fake unlimited data, and where an unlimited style plan appears it simply means a set full-speed allowance per day rather than endless data at top speed.
Your eSIM arrives instantly by QR code, installs on your phone before departure and activates on your first connection in Greece, so you land already online. These plans are data-only with no local Greek number, so keep your home SIM active for calls, SMS and bank or login OTP codes, while WhatsApp and iMessage run over the data.
