Calling Greece from Germany: what to know

Greece answers on the country code +30, with the capital in Athens and most business concentrated around Athens, Thessaloniki and Patras. The working language for business is Greek, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:00 to 17:00 weekdays; 9:00 to 14:00 Saturdays for some retail.

From Germany the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +30 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Germany and Greece.

Most mobiles in Greece sit on operators such as Cosmote (OTE), Vodafone Greece, Nova (Wind Hellas). Greek phone numbers are 10 digits including the area-code prefix; international format keeps all 10 digits after +30 (no leading 0 to drop).

Greece runs on UTC plus 2, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
