Several routes connect you to Greece (+30) landlines, calling cards and modern VoIP services. Pick the one that fits your call volume and budget.
Dial your exit code (00 from most countries, or 011 from North America), enter +30, then the local Greece number — dropping any leading 0. Greece's 2-digit country code puts it in ITU Zone 3 of the global E.164 numbering plan.
Greece falls in ITU Zone 3 (Europe). Card rates to Athens are generally moderate — compare landline vs mobile tariffs before activating. Factor in the Europe/Athens time zone when planning the call.

The cost of calling Greece varies depending on the method and service provider you choose. Compare landline, VoIP and calling-card routes side by side.

Choose TKOS for business-grade calls to Greece, or consumer apps like Skype, WhatsApp or Viber for casual chats.
Sign up with an email or phone number, then verify your identity if required.
App-to-app calls are usually free; calls to mobile/landline numbers need a small balance or a subscription plan.

A complete international number is built from four parts. Here's the anatomy and the dialling order.
Number anatomy
Format follows ITU-T Recommendation E.164 the international public telecommunication numbering plan.
Press + on a mobile (hold the 0 key), or dial 00 from most countries / 011 from North America.
Dial +30. This identifies Greece on the global telephone network.
Type the first part of the local number. Drop the leading 0 if there is one.
The remaining digits route the call to the specific line in Athens or elsewhere.

Whether you're reaching Greece for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.
European routes to Greece support G.722 wideband audio on most carriers — a quality HD headset lets you hear the full difference on these low-latency links.

When selecting an international calling service for Greece, four factors separate the durable providers from the noise. Look for a proven track record on each.
Verify direct EU peering to Greece — not routing +30 traffic through non-Europe hubs.
EU carriers publish uptime records — ask for 12 months of SLA compliance on Greece routes before signing.
Confirm coverage for Europe/Athens hours — a Athens route issue at 09:00 needs a human response, not a next-day ticket.
EU routing compresses Greece costs — any premium over +30 published carrier rates needs justification.
