📍 Geographic Location of Chrysoupoli
Geographic Overview
The Greek area code 2591 is a Geographic National Destination Code (NDC) allocated to the town of Chrysoupoli and its surrounding administrative area within the regional unit of Kavala, in the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace. This code serves the municipal unit of Chrysoupoli, which is part of the Municipality of Nestos, and covers the fertile Nestos River plain. The primary urban center is Chrysoupoli, a small town located approximately 20 kilometers southwest of the city of Kavala. The area is known for its agricultural production, particularly rice and kiwi, and serves as a local commercial hub for the surrounding villages.
From a telecommunications perspective, the 2591 code is assigned to fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services within this geographic region. It is not a mobile prefix; mobile numbers in Greece always begin with 69x. The code is used for both residential and business landlines, and it is administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) in accordance with the national numbering plan.
Dialing Formats
For callers within Greece, the national dialing format requires the leading 0 before the area code. To call a Chrysoupoli number from another Greek fixed or mobile line, you would dial:
- 0 2591 XXX XXXX (where X represents the subscriber number digits)
For international callers, the country code for Greece is +30, and the leading zero is omitted. The international format is:
- +30 2591 XXX XXXX
For example, a local number might be written as 2591 23456 in national format (without the leading zero) or +30 2591 23456 in international format. Note that Greek fixed-line numbers typically have 10 digits in total, including the leading zero, when dialed nationally.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 2591 code covers the town of Chrysoupoli and the surrounding communities within the municipal unit, including villages such as Eratino, Agiasma, and Keramoti (the latter is a coastal area and port). The area is part of the Kavala regional unit, but it is distinct from the Kavala city code (2510). The administrative jurisdiction is the Municipality of Nestos, which was formed in 2011 under the Kallikratis administrative reform. This reform merged several former municipalities, but the telephone numbering plan was not changed, so 2591 remains assigned to the Chrysoupoli exchange area.
There are no overlay codes or additional NDCs for this area; 2591 is the sole geographic code for this specific region. The subscriber number length within the 2591 code is typically 5 to 6 digits, but the total national number length is always 10 digits (including the leading 0).
Caller Instructions
For local callers within the 2591 area, it is possible to dial the subscriber number directly without the area code if the call is within the same local exchange area. However, this practice is becoming less common, and it is always safe to dial the full national number with the area code. For callers from other parts of Greece, always include the trunk prefix 0 and the area code 2591. For international callers, replace the trunk prefix with the +30 country code and drop the leading 0. Ensure you have the correct international exit code for your country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from North America) before dialing +30.
