You are traveling to Greece and wondering how to use the internet without roaming and complications? Instead of searching where to buy a SIM card in Greece, thinking about top-ups, setting up your phone, and wasting time at kiosks - there is a simpler solution.

Forget physical Greek SIM cards and try Nikana eSIM - a digital SIM card that allows you to have mobile internet in Greece as soon as you cross the border.

This is the ideal option for all tourists vacationing in Greece, from all other countries.

It is important to know that through our platform, you can buy an eSIM for any other country you are traveling to, not just for Greece.

What is eSIM and why is it better than a regular SIM card?

E-SIM is a digital version of a SIM card - it is installed directly into your phone via a QR code, without the need to remove or insert physical cards. It is very simple and we will explain to you step by step how to have internet in just a few minutes as soon as you enter Greece or any other foreign country you choose.

You use it exclusively for mobile internet, while your number remains active.

Advantages of using eSIM in Greece:

1. You have internet immediately upon arrival in Greece - no more searching for a SIM card in Halkidiki\, Thassos\, Paralia\, Lefkada. SIM cards in Greece can often only be purchased in larger places (strictly with a passport)\, which represents an additional obligation as soon as you arrive at the resort.

2. Without changing physical SIM cards - you don’t have to remove your card from the phone and change numbers to insert a Greek card (or set up parallel use of both cards)\, so your number remains active for Viber\, SMS\, banks.

3. Without complicated code entry for top-ups and installing Greek applications - buy online and use immediately

4. Quick activation - in a few minutes\, without setup. You can prepare everything before trip and have active internet as soon as you cross the border. If you want to have internet even through transit countries, it is possible, simply by purchasing a package for any other country you are transiting.

5. Sharing data with family and friends - one activation is enough for the whole family or group of friends to use the internet. There is no need for everyone to buy their own card. The most cost-effective solution for internet abroad - more affordable than roaming and without hidden costs

6. Nikana eSim automatically selects the strongest network in Greece - one of the great advantages of the Nikana eSIM card is that in Greece it uses all three main mobile networks - Cosmote\, Vodafone\, and NOVA (formerly Wind). This means that your phone automatically connects to the network with the best signal in the area where you are located. For example, if Cosmote has poor reception in a certain place, your device will automatically switch to the Vodafone or NOVA network, without interruption in internet usage. This is a great advantage compared to traditional SIM cards that are tied to only one operator - and if there is no signal, you are left without a connection.

Perfect for:

- Google Maps and navigation as soon as you enter Greece
- Instagram\, TikTok\, Viber\, and WhatsApp
- Online reservations and payments
- Contact with family and friends

Useful tips for using the eSim card

A few steps to take before you start using eSim abroad to avoid mistakes, unwanted costs, and ensure everything works properly:

1. Turn off data transfer for the physical SIM card

To prevent the phone from using the internet via the domestic operator and thus incur a huge roaming bill, make sure to:
Go to Settings > Mobile Network > Your SIM card > Data Roaming - turn it off.
Or choose eSIM as the main source for mobile data.
You should do this even if you are not using an eSim card.

2. Turn on automatic network selection

eSim uses multiple networks (Cosmote, Vodafone, NOVA).
To have the phone automatically connect to the one with the best signal, make sure that “Auto Network Selection” is enabled:
Settings > Mobile Network > eSIM profile > Network Selection > Automatic.

3. Set eSIM as the primary for mobile internet

Go to:
Settings > Mobile Network > Preferred SIM for mobile data
Select Nikana eSIM ).
You can also disable the physical card to avoid confusion.

4. Turn on data transfer (Mobile Data)

When the eSIM profile is activated and selected for mobile internet - turn on mobile data (Data On).
Don’t forget to turn on roaming as well, because eSIM uses networks as a guest:
Settings > Mobile Network > Roaming > On.

5. (Optional) Turn on Hotspot if you want to share the internet

How to turn hotspot?
Activate the eSIM package on your phone.
Enable Hotspot in settings (Personal Hotspot / Mobile Tethering).
Other family members connect to your network like regular Wi-Fi.
