Anyone know if there are any PAYG data offers in Greece?

Last year, they only offered them on contract, but things could have
changed.

Thanks

There are, but you have to mess about with bundles and (possibly) pretending
you're using WAP. Have a read of this thread:

http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/europe/2835-greece-hspa-prepaid-postpaid-offers.html

Note that SIMs now need to be registered, so you'll have to take your
passport to a shop to buy one.

Did you read right to the end? That has all the latest tariffs. This post,
from March, gives a more recent outline of the situation:

http://www.prepaidgsm.net/forum/europe/2835-greece-hspa-prepaid-postpaid-offers-8.html#post31607

Last time I was forced to buy data in 40MB chunks and pretend to use WAP.
It looks like things have liberalised quite a bit now.

FWIW my impression is that COSMOTE gets the best 2G signal, though I have no
experience with 3G (out of the cities I didn't find any 3G on any network.
It's probably improved now)

I found a SIM on ebay for Vodafone on demand, as this thread says, 10GB
over 10 days. Still have to travel and prove the theory but according to
the seller when you put the SIM in and configure the APN it takes you to a
landing page where you put the code in from a supplied scratchcard to
activate.

AIUI they have imposed activation restrictions on voice SIM cards which
need you in person with some form of ID. But these cards have no voice
ability so escape this restriction.
