📍 Geographic Location of Corfu Island

Geographic Scope and Administration

The Greek area code 2663 is a Geographic Area Code allocated under the national numbering plan of Greece (Country Calling Code +30). It serves the northern and central portions of Corfu Island (Kerkyra), one of the Ionian Islands in the Ionian Sea. Specifically, the code covers the municipality of Corfu (northern sector) and the surrounding settlements, including the island's capital, Corfu Town (Kerkyra), and adjacent communities such as Kontokali, Gouvia, and Dassia. The code is administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) and is assigned to fixed-line PSTN services, though it may also be used by VoIP providers offering fixed-line replacements.

Dialing Formats and Usage

For callers within Greece, the national dialing format is 2663 0XXXX (where X represents the subscriber number digits). Note that the leading '0' of the area code is dropped when dialing from abroad. The international format, when calling from outside Greece, is +30 2663 0XXXX. For example, a local number in Corfu Town might be 2663 045678, which would be dialed as +30 2663 045678 from overseas. The total number length after the country code is 10 digits (including the area code without the leading zero).

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest EETT updates, the 2663 area code does not have an overlay code; it is the sole geographic code for the northern part of Corfu. However, the southern part of the island uses the separate code 2662. Callers should be aware that when dialing between these two zones, the full national format (including the area code) is required. There are no plans for an overlay in the near future, but subscribers should always verify the correct code when placing calls to ensure proper routing.

Caller Instructions

For local callers within the 2663 area, dialing a number in the same area can be done using only the subscriber number (0XXXX) in some cases, but it is recommended to always use the full national format to avoid misdialing, especially with mobile numbers. For callers from other Greek regions, dial 2663 0XXXX. For international callers, replace the leading zero with the Greek country code +30 and omit the zero: +30 2663 0XXXX. Ensure you have the correct international prefix for your country (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada).
