Yes. fiGO provides strong 4G LTE coverage across all major tourist islands including Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Zakynthos, Paros, Naxos, and Milos. Coverage is strongest in main towns and resort areas. Very remote beaches, small uninhabited islands, and mountain interiors may have weaker or no signal. For the standard tourist island-hopping route, coverage is excellent.

Your mobile signal will drop during open-sea stretches between islands, as there are no cell towers over the water. Signal returns automatically as you approach each island's port. We recommend downloading offline maps and saving your boarding pass before each ferry journey. Some major ferry companies offer onboard WiFi as an alternative during the crossing.

Greece eSIM plans start from €2.79 for 3 GB of data over 3 days. You can customise your plan by choosing how many days you are staying and how much data you need. For a typical 7–14 day island-hopping trip, most travelers find 10–20 GB sufficient.

For most short trips, eSIM is more convenient and often cheaper. SIM cards at Athens Airport cost €22–35 with an activation fee and require passport registration. fiGO eSIM starts from €2.79, activates instantly through the app, and requires no paperwork. If you are flying directly to an island (Santorini, Mykonos, Crete), finding a physical SIM at island airports can be difficult — eSIM solves this problem entirely.

Yes. Both Google Maps and the Ferryhopper app work perfectly with fiGO eSIM data. Google Maps is reliable for navigation across mainland Greece and major islands. Ferryhopper requires data to check real-time ferry schedules and manage your bookings. We recommend downloading offline maps for each island as backup.

Yes. Both Uber and Bolt are active in Athens and require a data connection to book rides. Having fiGO eSIM active from the moment you land at Athens Airport means you can immediately book your transfer to the city centre without searching for WiFi.

Athens and Thessaloniki have excellent speeds (25–100+ Mbps) suitable for video conferencing and remote work. Major tourist islands like Crete and Rhodes also offer strong enough speeds for video calls in their main towns. However, during peak summer evenings (July–August, 7–10 PM) in heavily touristed areas, network congestion can slow speeds. Schedule important video calls for mornings when possible.

No. Greece does not block any major websites, social media platforms, or messaging apps. You can freely access WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, and all other services without a VPN. Some travelers use a VPN to access home-country streaming libraries, which works normally with fiGO data.

Yes. fiGO uses your eSIM slot, so your physical home SIM stays active in the other slot. This means you continue receiving SMS messages from your bank for two-factor authentication, verification codes, and important texts — while using fiGO for all your mobile data. This dual-SIM approach is one of the biggest advantages of eSIM over buying a local physical SIM card, which would require you to remove your home SIM.

For a typical 7-day tourist trip with regular photo sharing, Google Maps usage, WhatsApp calls, and some social media browsing, 5–10 GB is usually enough. If you plan to upload lots of videos, make daily video calls, or stream content, consider 10–20 GB. Use hotel WiFi for heavy downloads and streaming to stretch your data further.

Your fiGO eSIM is configured for Greece. If your trip includes multiple countries, you can check our multi-country European plans which cover multiple destinations with a single eSIM. Alternatively, you can purchase separate country-specific plans through the fiGO app.
