The best eSIM for Greece in 2026. Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Greece, priced on the same day: two weeks unlimited for $12.99, island coverage, and which to buy.

Prices read on 27 September 2026. Six travel eSIMs sell a Greece plan and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a few days in Athens, two weeks hopping between the islands, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited and on island coverage. Here is where each one wins.

Island hopping is a two-week habit, and that is where the prices split. For 15 days, Airalo asks $48, Saily $48.99 and Holafly $50.50. For a month, $69, $71.99 and $73.90. Ubigi is cheaper at $36 and $55 for a fixed amount at full speed. Ringo Light charges $12.99 for 2 weeks and $21.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.

Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Saily gives 5 GB a day, Nomad 2 GB. Ubigi gives 30 GB for 15 days or 60 GB for the month, then 2 Mbps. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light has no speed cap: the 2 weeks starts with 10 GB and the 30 days with 20 GB, and when you have used 80% we add 10 GB once and charge the $12.99 top-up. A heavy two weeks with us costs $25.98, still about half of any rival.

For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Nomad sells 3 days of unlimited at $11.

Greece has three networks. Cosmote is the largest, and Vodafone and Nova follow. On Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes and Corfu all three work well. On the smaller islands and in the mountains, signal can drop to 4G or thin out, and Holafly says so on its own page. Most travel eSIMs here ride Nova or Vodafone; only Saily names Cosmote. Download offline maps and ferry tickets before you leave port.

Ubigi, $12 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days, and 25 GB for $22, on Nova with 5G. No app needed.

Nomad, $18 for 10 GB. 20 GB for $21, the cheapest 20 GB, $0.99 under our 30 days. On Nova and Vodafone.

Saily, $21.99 for 10 GB. On Cosmote or Vodafone. Its listing is from June; saily.com would not load for us.

Airalo, no 10 GB on the day. Its Greece page listed only unlimited plans and small 1 and 3 GB buckets when we looked.

Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks starts with 10 GB for $12.99 and our 30 days with 20 GB for $21.99. For 10 GB that lasts a month, Ubigi at $12 is the better buy, and Nomad sells 20 GB for $21. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.

Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Greece it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $12.99, starting with 10 GB, and 30 days at $21.99, starting with 20 GB. Each adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged at $12.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.

A plan over $10 makes you a Ringo Pioneer with €5 off the full Ringo at launch. The card to buy it is just below this article.

A few days in Athens. Nomad unlimited, 3 days, $11. Ringo Light sells no 3 days; its 2 weeks is $12.99 if the trip might run longer.

Two weeks island hopping. Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $12.99, less than any rival charges for one week.

Two weeks, light use, budget first. Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $12.

A month on Crete or a summer on the islands. Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $21.99, starting with 20 GB and adding 10 GB once for $12.99.

You need your own number to keep ringing. None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Greece on 27 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.

Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.

Left out: Maya Mobile, we could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.

Frequently asked questions

Which eSIM is cheapest for Greece?

For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $12.99 for 2 weeks and $21.99 for 30 days on 27 September 2026, against $48 for 15 days and $69 for 30 days at Airalo. For 3 days, Nomad at $11. For 10 GB over 30 days, Ubigi at $12; for 20 GB, Nomad at $21.

Does a travel eSIM work on the Greek islands?

Yes on the big islands: Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes and Corfu have good 4G and 5G on all three networks. On small islands and in the mountains coverage thins, whichever eSIM you buy. Holafly warns of this on its own page.

Is an unlimited eSIM really unlimited in Greece?

Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you after 3 GB a day, Saily after 5 GB, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after its fixed full-speed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light has no speed cap: it starts with 10 or 20 GB and adds 10 GB once at 80%, charged.

Do I need an eSIM if my phone plan covers the EU?

If your home plan is from an EU country, roaming in Greece is usually included at home prices, within a fair use limit. Travellers from the US, the UK, Canada or Australia usually pay a daily roaming fee, and that is where a travel eSIM saves money.
