Overview of Area Code 2541 (Xanthi, Greece)
Area code 2541 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the city of Xanthi and its surrounding administrative region in northeastern Greece.

Dialing Formats
When calling a landline in Xanthi from within Greece, subscribers dial the national trunk prefix 0, followed by the area code 2541 and the subscriber number (typically 6 or 7 digits). For example, a local number might be dialed as 02541 XXXXXX.
From abroad, callers must use the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries), followed by Greece's country code +30, then the area code 2541 (without the leading zero) and the subscriber number. The international format is +30 2541 XXXXXX.
Geographic Coverage and Administration
The 2541 area code serves the Xanthi regional unit, which includes the municipalities of Xanthi, Avdira, and Myki. Key towns within this code include Xanthi city, Genisea, and the coastal areas near Porto Lagos. The region is known for its cultural diversity, tobacco industry, and the annual Xanthi Carnival.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, the 2541 code does not have an overlay. Subscribers in the area use 10-digit numbers (including the leading 0) for national dialing. The Greek national numbering plan is closed, meaning that all calls, even local ones, require the full national number (0 + area code + subscriber number).
Caller Instructions
For callers within Greece: Always dial 02541 followed by the local number, even when calling from a phone within the same area code. This is mandatory due to the closed numbering plan.
For international callers: Replace the leading zero with the country code +30. For example, to call a Xanthi landline from the United States, dial 011 30 2541 XXXXXX.
For mobile calls to numbers in the 2541 range, note that mobile numbers in Greece begin with 69x and are not associated with geographic area codes. The 2541 code is exclusively for fixed-line services.
