Area Code 2792 – Kastri Kynourias

Overview of Area Code 2792

Area code 2792 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) within the Greek national numbering plan, allocated under the country calling code +30. It serves the region of Kastri Kynourias, located in the southeastern part of the Peloponnese peninsula, within the administrative region of the Peloponnese. The code covers the town of Kastri (also known as Kynouria) and its surrounding settlements, which form part of the broader Kynouria municipality. This area is characterized by its mountainous terrain, proximity to the Aegean Sea, and historical significance, including the nearby archaeological site of ancient Thyrea.

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction

The 2792 code is assigned to the fixed-line telephone network of the area, which is administered by the Hellenic Telecommunications and Post Commission (EETT). It encompasses the municipal unit of Kastri, which includes the villages of Kastri, Agios Andreas, and other smaller localities. The region is part of the regional unit of Arcadia, and the code is used for both residential and business landlines within this defined geographic boundary. As with all Greek geographic codes, the area served is fixed and does not follow mobile or nomadic users.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For callers within Greece, the number must be dialed in the national format: 2792 followed by the subscriber's 6-digit local number. For example, a local number such as 456789 would be dialed as 2792 456789 from any phone in Greece. For international callers, the full international format must be used: +30 2792 456789 (or 0030 2792 456789 from countries using the international prefix 00). The leading zero of the area code is omitted when dialing from abroad. When calling within the same area code, it is still necessary to dial the full national number, including the area code, as per Greek numbering regulations; there is no local abbreviated dialing.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Currently, there is no overlay code for the 2792 area; it remains the sole geographic code for this region. Subscriber numbers within this code are typically 6 digits long, resulting in a total national significant number length of 10 digits (including the leading zero), which aligns with the ITU-T E.164 recommendation for Greece. The code is part of the closed numbering plan, meaning that all digits must be dialed for any call, regardless of origin.

Practical Information for Callers

Local businesses and residents in Kastri Kynourias rely on this code for their fixed-line services. For tourists or foreign investors, it is important to note that calls to this area are charged at standard national rates when dialed from within Greece, and international rates apply from abroad. As with all Greek geographic numbers, the code does not support premium-rate services or special tariffs; it is strictly a standard PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) allocation, although it may also be used by VoIP providers that offer fixed-line services in the region.
