Registration required to connect — look for the sign-in page after joining the network.

EU/UK travelers usually have roaming included; other visitors should arrive with a Greece/EU eSIM, especially useful given HER's older terminal and inconsistent wifi performance at peak times.

Insider tip

Wifi can slow to a crawl during the summer high season when the terminal is at its busiest — don't count on it for much beyond basic messaging June–September.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.
