Southern Europe & the Balkans eSIM Guides

All 52 Southern Europe and the Balkans guides in one index: 13 countries, 13 cities, 13 airports and the local SIM card options for each, grouped so you can plan a whole route rather than one stop.

Two separate roaming blocs overlap here and people routinely confuse them. Greece, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus are in the EU arrangement. Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia belong to the Western Balkans regional roaming agreement, which is a different zone with different members, so a local card bought in Tirana keeps working in Podgorica but an EU plan may not. Turkey sits outside both and prices data high enough that it changes the answer.

The Western Balkans have their own roaming zone and it is not the EU one. A regional local SIM often beats a travel eSIM across those six countries.
