📍 Geographic Location of Zakynthos
Overview of Area Code 2695
Area code 2695 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Greek numbering plan, assigned to the island of Zakynthos (also known as Zante) in the Ionian Sea. It covers the entire island, including the capital Zakynthos City (also called Zante), the airport, and all surrounding villages and resorts. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, and it is administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT) under the national dialing plan that follows ITU-T E.164 recommendations.
Geographic Coverage and Jurisdiction
The 2695 area code encompasses the administrative region of the Zakynthos regional unit, which is part of the Ionian Islands region. Key localities served include Zakynthos City, Laganas, Tsilivi, Argassi, Alykes, and Keri. The code is exclusively assigned to the island; there are no overlay codes, and the geographic boundary is strictly maintained.
Dialing Formats
For callers within Greece, the local dialing format is 2695 followed by the subscriber number, which typically consists of 6 digits. The full national number is therefore 10 digits long (including the leading '0'). For example, a local call to a business in Zakynthos City would be dialed as 2695 123456.
For international callers, the leading '0' is omitted, and the country code +30 is added. The international format becomes +30 2695 123456. This format is used for calls from any country outside Greece.
Caller Instructions
- Local callers (within Greece): Dial the 10-digit national number starting with '0' (e.g., 2695 123456).
- International callers: Dial the international access prefix (e.g., 00 from most countries, or '+' from mobile), followed by the country code 30, then the area code without the leading '0', and the subscriber number. Example: +30 2695 123456.
Technical Considerations
As a geographic code, 2695 is used for fixed-line services, but number portability allows subscribers to retain their numbers when switching providers, including to VoIP services. However, the number remains associated with the Zakynthos geographic area for routing and emergency services purposes. Calls to 2695 numbers are typically charged at standard national rates when dialed from within Greece, and international rates when dialed from abroad.
For businesses and residents on the island, having a 2695 number establishes a local presence, which is important for customer trust and local search visibility. When calling from a mobile phone within Greece, the same national format (2695 123456) is used.
