Geolocation in the Athens area can show separate municipalities such as Piraeus, Peristeri, Kallithea or Marousi. The Municipality of Athens covers only 38.964 km² of a 412 km² urban area. Attica had 3,814,064 residents at the 2021 census. Athens landline numbers start with 21 under Greece's closed ten-digit numbering plan. ### Which postal codes and phone prefix belong to Athens? Athens postal codes start with 10, 11 or 120, and landline numbers start with 21. Greece moved to a closed ten-digit numbering scheme in 2001-2002, so callers abroad dial +30 21. The digit after 21 belongs to the subscriber number, which gives local numbers starting with 210 or 212. ### What is the proxy parameter for Athens? Add `-country-gr-city-athens` after your username and connect to `gw.eurocityproxies.com` on port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5). Athens is written in English, lower case, without accents. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. ### Which Greek platforms are worth checking from Athens? Common Greek platforms include Skroutz, Car.gr, xe.gr and Spitogatos. Many show listings, prices or delivery terms by location, so an Athens IP with a Greek browser setting shows what local visitors get.
