Area Code 2634 – Nafpaktos

Overview

The Greek area code 2634 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the region of Nafpaktos (also known as Naupactus), a town in the regional unit of Aetolia-Acarnania, in Western Greece. This code is part of the Greek national numbering plan, which adheres to the ITU-T E.164 recommendation. When dialing from abroad, the full international format is +30 2634 ..., where +30 is the country calling code for Greece.

Geographic Coverage

The 2634 code covers the city of Nafpaktos and its surrounding settlements, including the municipal units of Antirrio, Chalkeia, and parts of the mountainous Nafpaktia region. The area is situated on the northern coast of the Gulf of Corinth, near the Rio-Antirrio bridge, which connects the Peloponnese to mainland Greece. The code is also used for landline services in the nearby villages and communities that fall under the administrative jurisdiction of the Nafpaktos municipality.

Dialing Formats

• Local dialing (within Greece): To call a number in Nafpaktos from another part of Greece, you must dial the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, a local landline number might be 26340 12345. The leading 0 is part of the national dialing format and is not included when dialing from abroad.
• International dialing: From outside Greece, you dial your country's international access code (e.g., 011 from the US, 00 from most European countries), then +30 2634, followed by the subscriber number. For example, +30 26340 12345.

Numbering and Overlays

Subscriber numbers in the 2634 area typically consist of 5 digits after the area code, making the total national significant number (NSN) 10 digits (including the leading 0). There are no overlay codes in this region; the 2634 code is unique to the Nafpaktos area. However, due to the liberalization of the Greek telecom market, some fixed-line operators may offer services in this area using alternative numbering, but the geographic code remains associated with the physical location.

Caller Instructions

For callers within Greece: Always include the area code with the leading 0, even when calling from a mobile phone. For example, to call a landline in Nafpaktos, dial 26340 12345.

For callers from abroad: Drop the leading 0 and use the international format: +30 2634 0 12345 (note that the subscriber number starts with 0 in this example, but in practice, the subscriber number may or may not begin with 0; always dial the number as it is listed after the area code).

As with all Greek geographic numbers, calls are typically charged at local or national rates depending on your provider, and they are primarily used for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services.
