Digital nomad internet in Greece
Coverage reality for remote work
In major cities in Greece, 4G is generally adequate for remote work (video calls, email, cloud). Outside cities, service can be intermittent.
Best-infrastructure cities for nomads:
- Athens: Good coverage; Acropolis hill and tourist areas well-served.
- Thessaloniki: Second city; solid 4G/5G downtown.
- Santorini: Oia, Fira and main towns covered; caldera boat trips can blip.
- Mykonos: Well-covered; beach parties can saturate local cells.
Connectivity strategy
- Base: accommodation with Wi-Fi (speed-test before committing to a long stay).
- Backup: eSIM with a large or unlimited plan (15–30 GB/month minimum).
- Important calls: coworking space or verified-Wi-Fi café + eSIM hotspot as fallback.
Typical monthly consumption
Full-time remote work (~8 hrs/day): 60–100 GB/month if relying only on mobile data. With Wi-Fi as your base and data as backup: 10–20 GB/month.
