Greek streaming, banking, and government services all geo-restrict the moment you leave the country.
A Greece VPN replaces your real IP with a Greek one, encrypts your connection, and adds a layer of privacy that Greek law does not fully guarantee on its own.

VPN Super encrypts your connection with AES-256, the same standard used by banks and governments. Your real IP is hidden, your data is encrypted, and your browsing stays between you and your screen.

Yes. VPN use is fully legal in Greece. There are no laws restricting individuals from using VPN services. Greece operates under EU law (GDPR) and national privacy legislation (Law 4624/2019). The Greek Constitution (Article 19) protects the secrecy of correspondence and communications. As with any jurisdiction, activities illegal without a VPN remain illegal with one.
Greece has a 12-month mandatory data retention law and a recent history of surveillance overreach.
Law 3917/2011 requires telecom providers and ISPs (Cosmote, Vodafone Greece, Wind, Nova) to retain traffic and location data for 12 months from the date of each communication. Data is destroyed automatically at the end of the retention period, unless it has been lawfully accessed by police or judicial authorities. Access to retained data follows the procedures set by Law 2225/1994, overseen by ADAE (the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security and Privacy).
Unlike Romania and Austria, Greece has not challenged its data retention law in court, despite the EU Data Retention Directive being invalidated by the Court of Justice in 2014.
In 2022, the "Predatorgate" scandal revealed that Intellexa's Predator spyware had been used to target 87 people, including journalists, government ministers, and military officials. In a number of cases, Predator surveillance ran in parallel with legitimate wiretapping by the EYP (National Intelligence Service). On February 26, 2026, an Athens court convicted four individuals (including Intellexa founder Tal Dilian) and sentenced them to 126 years each, capped at 8 years under Greek misdemeanor law. Sentences are suspended pending appeal. In March 2026, a prosecutor ordered a criminal investigation for espionage. The European Parliament debated the case on March 4, 2026.
A VPN encrypts your connection, so your ISP sees traffic to a VPN server rather than the specific websites you visited. It does not protect against device-level spyware.
ERTFLIX geo-restricts most live TV and on-demand content to Greek IP addresses. ERT World offers a limited international feed, but the full ERTFLIX library (including archive content, documentaries, and Greek series) requires a Greek IP.
Open VPN Super, connect to the Athens server, then visit ertflix.gr or open the ERTFLIX app. If content still shows as restricted, clear your browser cache and cookies. ERTFLIX stores location data that can conflict with your new Greek IP.
Cosmote TV Go (cosmote.gr) and Nova Go (nova.gr) both geo-restrict to Greek IP addresses. Cosmote TV covers Champions League, Europa League, and entertainment. Nova Sports holds Super League Greece broadcast rights.
Open VPN Super, connect to the Athens server, then open Cosmote TV Go or Nova Go. You need an active subscription to either platform. The VPN gives you the Greek IP; your subscription gives you the content rights.
ERT World and ANT1+ International are specifically designed for Greek viewers abroad and don't require a VPN. ERT World broadcasts a selection of ERT programming via satellite and online. ANT1+ International offers a curated package. However, both have significantly smaller content libraries than the domestic platforms. If you want the full ERTFLIX library or the full ANT1, MEGA, STAR, and SKAI live streams, you still need a Greek IP address.
Greece does not censor political or news content online. However, the Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP) has identified and blocked around 11,000 illegal gambling domains through DNS-level filtering. This blocking system has occasionally affected legitimate non-gambling sites, causing brief collateral access issues. A VPN routes your traffic through an encrypted tunnel and can bypass DNS-level blocks.
