Area Code 2325 – Irakleia, Serres

Geographic Overview

The Greek area code 2325 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the town of Irakleia (Ηράκλεια) and its surrounding administrative district in the Serres regional unit, located in the region of Central Macedonia, northern Greece. This code covers the municipal area of Irakleia, which includes the town itself and nearby settlements such as Strymoniko, Skotoussa, and Valtero. The region is part of the historical and geographical area of Serres, near the Strymon River valley.

Dialing Formats

When calling a landline in Irakleia from within Greece, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code 2325 and the local subscriber number, which typically consists of 5 to 6 digits. The complete national format is 0 2325 X XX XX (or 0 2325 XXX XXX depending on the local number length). For example, a local number might be dialed as 02325 12345 from a Greek mobile or fixed line.

For international callers, the leading 0 is omitted. The international format is +30 2325 X XX XX (or +30 2325 XXX XXX). For instance, to call a number in Irakleia from abroad, you would dial +30 2325 12345.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Greece): Always dial the full national number, including the trunk prefix 0, even when calling from a nearby area. For example, from Athens, dial 02325 12345.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then Greece's country code 30, then the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number. Example: +30 2325 12345.

Regulatory and Technical Notes

The 2325 code is part of the Greek geographic numbering plan administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT). It is allocated to fixed-line services, traditionally provided by OTE (now part of Cosmote) and other licensed fixed operators. As with all Greek geographic codes, number portability is available, meaning a subscriber may retain their number when switching providers. The code is not used for mobile services; mobile numbers in Greece begin with 69x prefixes.

Since the liberalization of the Greek telecom market, alternative operators may also offer services under this code, but the geographic association remains. Calls to 2325 numbers are typically charged as local or national fixed-line rates, depending on the caller's plan. There are no overlay codes in this area; the 2325 code is unique to the Irakleia region.
