Will my mobile phone work in the Ionian?

In short, YES.  There is good mobile phone coverage throughout the Ionian and due to the close proximity of the islands to each other, there are very few areas of No Signal!  Of course if you have a non Greek mobile phone it will be fairly expensive to make and receive calls.

If you are planning on being in the area for any length of time or need to make long calls, then it may be worth considering buying a Greek mobile sim card.  If you do go down this route, you will need to make sure your mobile is unlocked from your mobile provider at home.

Sim cards can be purchased in Lefkas.

Internet coverage is also good in the area, so if you need to keep in touch with the office or loved ones whilst on holiday, a mobile broadband connection will also work - again if this is a non Greek contract, it will be expensive to use.  3G is not yet widely available so connection speeds are fairly slow.  

There are numerous Internet Cafes on the islands and some tavernas now have free wi-fi hot spots, which you can log into for free. 

If you have any concerns, please do just ask us.
