Greece Postal Code Finder
Enter any Greece postal code and this tool returns the place name, state and coordinates instantly, with a marker on the map. The lookup runs live against the open Zippopotam database — type a code such as 105 57 to see the result for yourself.
Zippopotam is community-maintained, so coverage varies by country and a valid code can occasionally return no match. When that happens, double-check the format (5 digits, often written with a space) and confirm with Greece's national postal service. Lookups are free, need no sign-up or API key, and nothing you enter is stored.
How to use this tool
The dropdown above the input is pre-set to Greece on this page — you can switch it to any of the other 39 countries to compare postal systems.
Type the code in Greece's format (5 digits, often written with a space) — for example 105 57 — and press Lookup or Enter.
The tool shows the place name, state, latitude/longitude and a map marker for every locality attached to the code. If nothing is found, the message says so honestly — check the digits or confirm the code with the national postal service.
What people use this tool for
Look up the code — for example 105 57 — before addressing letters or parcels to Greece, so the item reaches the right sorting office. A single wrong digit can send a parcel to the wrong city.
Online shops and official forms in Greece require the postcode field. Double-check an unfamiliar code (5 digits, often written with a space) here before you pay or submit, and catch typos before they cause a failed delivery.
Every result includes latitude and longitude — drop a pin for a district around Athens, plan a route, or geo-tag records without needing a full street address.
How it's calculated
Postal code lookup queries the public Zippopotam API directly from your browser: GET https://api.zippopotam.us/gr/{postal-code}. A successful response returns the country, the canonical post code and a list of places, each with place name, state, state abbreviation, latitude and longitude. The widget renders every returned place — name, state, decimal-degree coordinates — and drops a marker for each on the map (OpenStreetMap tiles via Leaflet).
If the API returns 404, the tool reports "not found" honestly: the code may be mistyped, or it may simply be absent from this open database. Coverage varies by country, so a missing code is never treated as proof the code is invalid — the message points you to Greece's national postal service for confirmation.
No API key or account is needed, and nothing you type is stored on our servers — the postal code travels from your browser to Zippopotam and back. Keep lookups at a reasonable pace so the free public API stays available for everyone.

Frequently asked questions
How do I look up a Greece postal code with this tool?
Make sure the country dropdown is set to Greece — it already is on this page. Type the code in Greece's format (5 digits, often written with a space), for example 105 57, and press Lookup. The tool queries the open Zippopotam database live and returns the place name, state and coordinates with a map marker. Lookups are free, need no sign-up or API key, and nothing you enter is stored.
What does a Greece postal code look like?
In Greece, postal codes follow this format: 5 digits, often written with a space. A typical example is 105 57. Enter the code exactly as it is normally written — including any spaces or dashes — because missing digits or wrong spacing usually produce a "not found" result.
Why did my Greece postal code return “not found”?
Two possibilities: a typo — often a spacing or dash issue, since Greece codes are written as 5 digits, often written with a space — or the code is simply absent from the open Zippopotam database. Coverage varies by country, and this community-maintained database has gaps. Try 105 57 to confirm the tool is working, then double-check your digits and confirm the code with Greece's national postal service.
Is this Greece postal code lookup official and free?
It is free and unlimited, with no account required — but it is not official. This is an independent lookup for Greece's 5 digits, often written with a space codes (for example 105 57), built on the open Zippopotam database. For anything mail-critical, verify the code with Greece's national postal service. Your browser queries the public API directly, and we do not log the codes you look up.
