📍 Geographic Location of Lavrio
Geographic Overview
The Greek area code 2292 is a Geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Lavrio (also spelled Lavrion) and its surrounding municipalities in the southeastern part of the Attica region. Lavrio is part of the larger Athens metropolitan area but retains its own distinct dialing code due to its historical and administrative significance. The code covers the municipal units of Lavrio, Keratea, and parts of the broader Lavreotiki area, including coastal settlements such as Thoriko and Sounio.
Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in Lavrio from within Greece, subscribers dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 2292 and the subscriber number, which consists of 6 digits. For example, a local number might be written as 22920 12345 (where the first digit after the code is often 2, 3, or 4 depending on the exchange). The complete national format is 0 2292 X XXXXX.
For international callers, the leading zero is omitted, and the country code +30 is used. Thus, the same number would be dialed as +30 2292 012345 (note that the subscriber number retains its full length, including the initial digit that follows the area code). It is important to note that Greek fixed-line numbers are always 10 digits long when dialed internationally, including the country code but excluding the trunk prefix.
Administrative and Coverage Details
The 2292 code is administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) and is allocated to the incumbent operator OTE (now part of the Cosmote group). However, due to local loop unbundling, other providers may offer services under this code. The region is served by modern fiber-optic and copper networks, with full support for ADSL, VDSL, and increasingly FTTH connections.

- International callers should dial their international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries), then 30 2292 and the subscriber number.
