Travelling internationally? HelloRoam offers Indian travellers a convenient mobile data solution without needing to find a local SIM card. Getting online from the moment you land in Athens is easy with a HelloRoam eSIM. 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 Nova, both of which operate 5G in Athens and 4G across the islands.

But for the main routes every traveller takes, the connection is solid. A HelloRoam eSIM gives you a prepaid flat rate across all of Greece without tying you to a home carrier's daily travel add-on.
