The best eSIM for Italy and Greece in 2026.

Rome and Venice, then a ferry from Bari or Ancona across the Adriatic to Greece: one regional eSIM covers Italy and Greece. I priced the Europe plans on the same day and I say where a rival wins.

Cheapest unlimited eSIM for Italy and Greece: Ringo Light, $22.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days (Ubigi $35 and $62). Prices read 25 October 2026.

The short answer

This trip is a sea crossing, not a land border: Italy first, then the ferry from Ancona, Bari or Brindisi to Igoumenitsa or Patras, then Athens and the islands. I priced the Europe plans that cover both on 25 October 2026, and I would buy Ringo Light: $22.99 for 2 weeks or $35.99 for 30 days of unlimited data at full speed. Airalo is cheapest for 3 days at $11.50, Ubigi for 10 GB at $15.

The full Ringo service

That is the full Ringo service: one plan that works everywhere, with your own number included.

It is a separate product from Ringo Light and it is still being built, so it is not on sale yet. Join the waitlist to hear when it opens.

What to do in Italy and Greece, and what your phone needs for it

Eight places that often fill a trip from Rome and the Amalfi coast across the Adriatic to Athens and the islands, with the one thing your data does for you at each. One regional eSIM works on both sides of the sea.

The Colosseum, Rome
RomeThe ColosseumThe largest amphitheatre the Romans built, next to the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill, which share its ticket. Go early or late to miss the midday heat and the longest lines.✓Entry is by timed ticket. Keep the QR code on your phone and use maps to find the right gate, since the Forum and the Colosseum have separate entrances.
The Grand Canal, Venice
VeniceThe Grand CanalThe main waterway through Venice, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Ride the whole length on the number 1 vaporetto for the slow view.✓Venice's alleys confuse even good maps. Download the offline map and check the water bus timetable in the ACTV app.
Positano, Amalfi Coast
Amalfi CoastPositanoPastel houses stacked up the cliff above a small beach. Late spring and early autumn are warm enough to swim with fewer crowds than August.✓The coast road is narrow and slow. Check the ferry times on your phone: the boat to Amalfi or Capri is often quicker than the bus.
Manarola and the Cinque Terre, Liguria
LiguriaManarola and the Cinque TerreFive fishing villages on the cliffs, linked by a train line and by footpaths over the vineyards. Manarola, on its rock above the harbour, is the one on the postcards.✓Some paths close after rain. Check the park's trail status online before you set out, and the regional train times for the ride back.
The Acropolis and the Parthenon, Athens
AthensThe Acropolis and the ParthenonThe temple of Athena on its rock above the city, with the Odeon of Herodes Atticus on the slope below. Go at opening time or late in the day to miss the heat and the tour groups.✓Buy a timed ticket on your phone before you climb and keep the QR code offline for the gate.
Oia and its blue domes, Santorini
SantoriniOia and its blue domesWhite houses and blue church domes on the rim of the caldera, at the north tip of the island. Sunset brings the biggest crowds; the morning is quiet.✓Santorini buses and taxis thin out after sunset. Check the last bus back in maps before you settle in to watch.
The Venetian harbour of Chania, Crete
CreteThe Venetian harbour of ChaniaA lighthouse at the end of a long breakwater and old Venetian houses around the harbour. Base yourself here for day trips to Balos and Elafonissi in western Crete.✓Crete is big and the roads are slow. Download the western half of the island offline before you drive.
Navagio, Shipwreck Beach, Zakynthos
ZakynthosNavagio, Shipwreck BeachA rusted ship on a white beach under tall cliffs, seen by boat from the sea or from the viewpoint on the cliff top, which gives the classic photo.✓Boat trips depend on the wind. Check the forecast and book the tour on your phone the day before.

One plan for both countries: Ringo Light

I think the ferry across the Adriatic is where a two-eSIM plan goes wrong. You buy an Italian plan, you board at Ancona or Bari, and a day later you want data in Igoumenitsa or Patras. A regional Europe eSIM is already working on the Greek side with nothing to switch. Install it once before you leave and forget it.

It is also cheaper. Ringo Light's Europe trips are $22.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed. Airalo Eurolink asks $49 for 15 days and $71 for 30, Saily $49.99 and $71.99, Holafly $51.50 and $76.50. Ubigi asks $35 for 30 GB over 15 days, then 2 Mbps.

My sum from the country pages: Italy's 2 weeks is $14.99 and Greece's is $14.99 on their own, $29.98 together, against $22.99 for the Europe trip that covers both. For 30 days it is $26.99 and $26.99, $53.98 together, against $35.99. The country plans are for people who visit only one.

Which plans cover both countries

Italy and Greece are both EU countries, so both sit in the Europe plans in the table. From the Europe page I priced: Ringo Light covers 33 countries, the EU countries plus the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Gibraltar, so both are in. Airalo Eurolink covers 41, both in. Holafly lists 33, Saily 35, Nomad 35 on its unlimited plans and Ubigi 38.

I could not confirm a country list for Holafly, Saily, Nomad or Ubigi on the day, so I would look for Italy and Greece by name at checkout. Ringo Light does not cover North Macedonia, which Greek road routes can cross, and only Airalo Eurolink lists it among the plans I read.

If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad

  • Ubigi, $15 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days across 38 countries. 25 GB is $29, and a 20 GB monthly plan at $19 that renews until you cancel it.
  • Nomad, $23 for 10 GB. And 20 GB for 30 days at $27, the cheapest one-off 20 GB here.
  • Airalo, $31 for 10 GB. Eurolink 20 GB for 30 days is $48, and Eurolink covers the most countries.
  • Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. From saily.com, 25 October 2026.
  • ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. For Italy and Greece on light use, Ubigi's 10 GB at $15 is $7.99 under Ringo Light's 2 weeks, and Nomad's 20 GB at $27 is $8.99 under its 30 days. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited. I would rather you read that here than find out at checkout.

What Ringo Light is

Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For Italy and Greece it sells the Europe trip across 33 countries, unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $22.99 and 30 days at $35.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app, and joins a local network in each country as you arrive.

The card to buy it is further up this page, after the side-by-side table.

Pick by trip

A week in Italy only

Ringo Light sells no 7-day plan; its 2 weeks at $22.99 still costs less than any rival's 7 days. For a long weekend in Rome, Airalo Eurolink 3 days at $11.50.

Two weeks, Rome to Athens by ferry

Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $22.99, against $29.98 for the two country plans.

A month, mainland and islands

Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $35.99. Ubigi at $62 if you would rather have a fixed 60 GB.

Light use, a few maps and messages

Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $15.

A route through North Macedonia or Serbia

Airalo Eurolink. Ringo Light does not cover those two.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does one eSIM work in both Italy and Greece?+
Yes. A regional Europe eSIM covers both, and the ferry does not change that. I read Ringo Light's Europe plan, 33 countries including both, and Airalo Eurolink, 41 countries.
Which eSIM is cheapest for an Italy and Greece trip?+
For 2 weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $22.99 and $35.99 on 25 October 2026, against $49 and $71 on Airalo. For 3 days, Airalo at $11.50. For a 10 GB bucket, Ubigi at $15.
Is unlimited really unlimited?+
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo and Saily slow you after 5 GB a day, Nomad after 2 GB, Ubigi after a fixed amount. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed, and I treat the others' limits as part of their price.
Should I buy two country eSIMs instead?+
I would not for this route. On their own pages Ringo Light's Italy and Greece plans are $29.98 for 2 weeks together, against $22.99 for the Europe trip, and the second one has to be installed before the ferry.

How we compared, and our sources

Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi, Ringo Light

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Italy and Greece on 25 October 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.
