Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For callers within Greece, the number must be dialed in the national format: 2655 XXXX, where XXXX is the local subscriber number (typically 4 digits). The leading '0' of the area code is used only when dialing domestically. For international callers, the country code +30 is used, and the leading '0' is omitted. Thus, a typical number would be dialed as +30 2655 XXXX from abroad.
For example, to call a business in Konitsa from Athens, you would dial 2655 12345. From the United States, you would dial 011 30 2655 12345.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the current numbering plan, there is no overlay code for the 2655 area. The area code is unique to the Konitsa region, and no other geographic area shares this code. Subscriber numbers within this code are 4 digits long, resulting in a total number length of 10 digits (including the leading '0' when dialed domestically).

As with other Greek geographic codes, calls to 2655 numbers are typically charged at local or national rates depending on the caller's location and tariff plan.
