- Athens area codes start with 21 (e.g., 210, 211). Thessaloniki starts with 231. Crete uses 281 (Heraklion).
- Mobile numbers always start with 69 after the country code. Cosmote, Vodafone, and Wind are the three carriers.
- Greek island numbers follow the same format — Santorini (228), Mykonos (228), Rhodes (224). All part of the +30 country code.
