Best Internet for Tourists in Greece
A practical Greece guide for UK travelers: what to choose for Athens and island holidays. Avoid daily roaming fees and get online fast on arrival.
For most UK tourists, the best internet option in Greece is a prepaid travel eSIM. It is quick to set up, avoids daily roaming fees, and keeps your UK number active.
Recommended: prepaid eSIM
- Install before you fly: connect right after landing.
- Predictable spend: prepaid data avoids day-pass accumulation.
- Great for islands: reliable data for ferries, transfers and navigation.
- Hotspot: share internet with family or laptop (device-dependent).
When other options make sense
- Local SIM: long stays with local calls/SMS.
- Roaming: 1-2 day trips when convenience matters more than cost.
- WiFi only: OK only if you stay inside the resort.
3 tips to avoid problems on arrival
- Install on WiFi before travel.
- Enable data roaming for the eSIM profile.
- Keep your UK SIM for SMS/OTP; set the eSIM as the data line.
