Area Code 2797 – Tropaia

Geographic Coverage and Administrative Context

The Greek area code 2797 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Tropaia region, located in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese. This area falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Regional Unit of Arcadia, within the Peloponnese Region. The code serves the town of Tropaia and its surrounding settlements, including villages such as Chania, Doxa, and Kalliani. These localities are part of the municipal unit of Tropaia, which is within the municipality of Gortynia. The region is predominantly rural, characterized by mountainous terrain and agricultural activity.

Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions

For local callers within Greece, the number is dialed in the national format: 2797 0XXXX, where the leading '0' is the trunk prefix. The subscriber number typically consists of five digits following the area code, making the total national significant number (NSN) length ten digits (including the leading '0').

For international callers, the number must be dialed using the international format: +30 2797 0XXXX. The leading '0' of the area code is omitted, and the country code for Greece (+30) is used. For example, a local number might be 2797 41234, which would be dialed as +30 2797 41234 from abroad.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, the 2797 area code does not have an overlay. Subscribers in the Tropaia region share the same geographic code, and no additional area codes have been introduced for this specific area. Number portability is available for fixed-line services, allowing subscribers to retain their numbers when changing providers within the same geographic area, subject to regulatory conditions.

Services and Usage

The 2797 code is used exclusively for fixed-line PSTN and VoIP services that are geographically tied to the Tropaia exchange area. It is not assigned to mobile networks, which use non-geographic prefixes such as 69X. Businesses and residents in the region rely on this code for local communications, and it is an integral part of the national numbering structure.

For callers from other parts of Greece, dialing a Tropaia number requires the full national format, including the trunk prefix '0'. For callers from abroad, the international dialing prefix of the originating country must be used, followed by Greece's country code +30, and then the area code without the leading '0'. This ensures proper routing through the international PSTN.
