Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH) serves Athens. Here is how to get online from the moment you land: the free Wi-Fi, where SIM cards are sold, and the eSIM you can install before you fly.
The free network is ATH Free Wi-Fi, available inside the terminal (Athens airport).
Free Internet Access Points around the terminal also give 15 minutes of web access.
Sim Local sells Vodafone SIM cards in two shops, both open 06:00 to 22:00 every day: one in the landside arrivals hall at Exit 1, the other in the baggage reclaim hall (opposite belt 1, non-Schengen side). There are also Sim Local vending machines in the Schengen baggage reclaim hall and in the satellite arrivals area (Athens airport).
Greece's three operators are Cosmote, Vodafone and Nova. Vodafone's tourist bundles cost €20 for 25 GB and 200 minutes over 20 days, or €30 for unlimited data in Greece and 200 minutes over 30 days (Vodafone's own prices, checked October 2026; the airport shop may charge differently). Bring your passport or ID.
Install one at home before you fly and you are online when the wheels touch down, with no queue at a SIM counter.
Greece's main mobile networks are Cosmote, Vodafone and Nova. A travel eSIM connects to one of them as a roaming partner, which is why data roaming must be on for the eSIM line. The partner network can differ from plan to plan, so check the plan details, or ask us at support@esimlounge.com before you buy.
