Greece eSIM with 5G coverage
A HelloRoam eSIM gets you online the moment you land in Athens, without expensive roaming charges from your Canadian carrier. You buy your plan before you leave home, scan the QR code, and arrive with data already active on your device. HelloRoam's Greece plans connect to Vodafone Greece and Wind Hellas, both of which operate 5G in Athens and 4G across the islands.

A prepaid SIM card Greece from airport kiosks runs $20-$35 CAD and may not include ferry coverage to Santorini, Mykonos, or Crete. HelloRoam connects on Wind and Vodafone 5G networks across all major Greek islands without a physical SIM.

Toronto and Montreal have large Greek-Canadian communities. Many Canadians visit Greece to reconnect with family heritage, attend weddings, or explore ancestral villages. Your HelloRoam eSIM works throughout mainland Greece and on all the major islands.
Island hopping and ferry connectivity
Greece is famous for island hopping by ferry. Coverage in ferry ports and island towns is generally strong. At sea between islands, signal drops. Download offline island maps for each destination before departing the previous island.
Santorini and Mykonos crowds and network congestion
Peak summer season on Santorini and Mykonos can overload local networks as millions of tourists arrive. Data speeds can slow during peak hours at popular viewpoints. Download maps and restaurant lists for Oia and Santorini town before landing.
Athens is well covered
Athens has strong 5G and 4G LTE coverage across the centre, Plaka, Monastiraki, Kolonaki, and the port of Piraeus. The Acropolis area and National Gardens all have reliable signal for maps and navigation.
Remote mainland areas
The Peloponnese, Epirus mountains, and rural northern Greece have decent coverage on main roads but weaker signal in isolated mountain villages. Download offline maps for drives in the Greek mountains or remote mainland areas.

Best times for Canadians to visit Greece
Greece is best visited in late spring and early autumn. May and June offer warm weather and fewer crowds. September and October are ideal for less crowded islands and warm seas. July and August are very hot and overcrowded on popular islands like Santorini and Mykonos. Easter (Orthodox Easter, usually in April or May) is a spectacular cultural event if you have Greek heritage or want a deep cultural experience. Winter is off-season on the islands but Athens has excellent museums and culture.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
