Area Code 2267 – Distomo

Overview of Area Code 2267 (Distomo, Greece)

Area code 2267 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Greek numbering plan, allocated under the country calling code +30. It serves the town of Distomo and its surrounding administrative areas in the regional unit of Boeotia, Central Greece. This code is part of the broader telecommunication infrastructure managed by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) and is assigned to fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 2267 area code covers Distomo, a town located on the slopes of Mount Helicon, approximately 130 km northwest of Athens. The code also encompasses nearby settlements and villages within the municipal unit of Distomo-Arachova-Antikyra, including the coastal town of Antikyra and the historic site of Arachova. These areas fall under the administrative jurisdiction of the Boeotia regional unit, which is part of the Central Greece region. The code is used for fixed-line telephone services, including residential, business, and public payphones, and is not assigned to mobile networks.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within Greece, the local dialing format requires dialing the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, to call a landline in Distomo with a subscriber number of 123456, you would dial: 2267 123456. For international callers, the format is: +30 2267 123456 (or 0030 2267 123456 from countries using the international prefix 00). When dialing from a mobile phone within Greece, it is common to omit the trunk prefix and dial 2267 123456 directly, as mobile networks automatically route the call. However, for fixed-line to fixed-line calls, the trunk prefix is mandatory.

Overlay Considerations and Numbering Plan

As of the latest EETT updates, there is no overlay code for the 2267 area. Subscriber numbers within this code are typically 6 digits long, resulting in a total number length of 10 digits when including the trunk prefix (0) and the 4-digit area code. The Greek numbering plan follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations, and the maximum number length for geographic numbers is 10 digits (excluding the country code). No changes to the dialing procedure are anticipated in the near future, but users should always verify with their service provider for any local dialing modifications.

Practical Guidance for Callers

• Local callers within Greece should dial 2267 followed by the 6-digit subscriber number, preceded by the trunk prefix 0 if calling from a fixed line.
• International callers should dial the international access code (e.g., 00 from most countries), then Greece's country code 30, then the area code 2267 (without the leading 0), and finally the subscriber number.
• VoIP and mobile users can often dial the number in international format even for domestic calls, but it is recommended to use the national format for fixed-line calls to avoid routing issues.
