Mobile networks & coverage in the Balkans
A Balkans eSIM is built for regional road trips: one plan keeps you connected across Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey without buying a new SIM at every border.

One eSIM covers 11 Balkan countries on a single plan — Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey — roaming onto each country's main networks. 4G is strong in cities and along main roads; mountain and remote areas can be patchier.
