EU travelers get free roaming with their home plan. For longer stays, buy a physical Cosmote or Vodafone SIM at Athens Airport (€10-20 for 5-15 GB, passport required). Mobile coverage in Athens and main tourist areas is excellent (4G/5G).</div> </div> </div> <p>I landed in Athens at midnight on my first trip, exhausted, with no data on my phone. Couldn&rsquo;t pull up my hotel address, couldn&rsquo;t check if the airport bus was still running, couldn&rsquo;t message anyone. I ended up paying a taxi driver whatever he asked because I had no way to verify the fare. Never again.</p>
