eSIM Cyprus-Greece Island Pass: one prepaid data plan for Athens, the Greek islands and Cyprus, from $4
A Cyprus-Greece Island Pass eSIM suits the traveler who lands in Athens, hops a ferry to Santorini or Crete, then flies on to Larnaca or Paphos for a second week in the sun. Two countries would normally mean two local SIMs or a home roaming bundle that charges by the day. Instead you buy online, scan a QR code at home, and the phone connects automatically in whichever country you arrive in, switching again when you cross to the other. Your own number stays live on your primary SIM throughout.
Networks and coverage in Greece and Cyprus
The Island Pass covers 2 countries, Greece and Cyprus, connecting to our partner networks in each. Switching between the two is automatic: land in Cyprus after a Greek leg and the phone joins the local partner network without a new QR code or any manual setting. Coverage is strong in Athens, Thessaloniki, Nicosia, Limassol and the main resort towns, on the popular islands and along the main roads. In mountain villages, on remote beaches and mid-crossing on a long ferry, reception thins out on every network, so download what you need before you sail.
Chiamate e un numero di telefono
Data alone covers most of a holiday, but hotels, car-rental desks and tavernas that only take bookings by phone are common in both countries. Add a voice-minutes bundle (+100, +200 or +300 minutes) and your eSIM Cyprus-Greece Island Pass comes with a dedicated international phone number, US +1 or UK +44, for calls and SMS. Data-only travelers do not get calling, but WhatsApp and FaceTime keep working on the existing number, because the physical SIM and the eSIM run side by side.
Piani, prezzi e validità
Plans start from $4 for 1GB and are also available in 2GB, 3GB, 5GB, 10GB, 15GB and 20GB. Validity follows the size: 1GB for 7 days, 2GB for 10 days, 3GB for 14 days, 5GB for 21 days, and 10GB, 15GB and 20GB for 30 days. A one-week island break with maps, ferry apps, photos and messaging fits into 3GB to 5GB; two weeks across both countries with video calls and a bit of streaming is more comfortable at 10GB; anyone tethering a laptop should look at 15GB or 20GB. The clock starts only on the first connection in Greece or Cyprus, so installing early is free.
Tips for mobile data in Greece and Cyprus
Ferry timetables and tickets, beach-bar reservations and car-hire paperwork all live on the phone these days, and island Wi-Fi ranges from decent in the hotel lobby to non-existent on the boat. Keep offline maps for the smaller islands and the Troodos mountains, where the roads are winding and signal is patchy. Card payments are widely accepted in resorts, but a working connection helps when a taverna asks you to pay through an app. If your trip stays in only one of the two countries, GlobaleSIM’s single-country Greece and Cyprus eSIMs are worth a look.
