Yes. Greek law does not restrict VPN use, and companies, universities and private users rely on VPNs every day. Greece is an EU member, so the GDPR sets the general rules for how services there handle personal data.

The Hellenic Gaming Commission keeps unlicensed gambling sites out of reach and has blocked more than 11,000 domains. The EDPPI, a committee for online copyright, can order internet providers to block pirate sites, including fast-track orders against illegal streams of live sports. These orders are aimed at the services, not at viewers. Some people reach blocked sites through a VPN or proxy anyway. The legal position of those sites does not change, so it pays to be careful.

A VPN encrypts your traffic and replaces your IP address with one from the location you pick. Contracts, terms of service and Greek and EU law apply exactly as before. Our guide explains what a VPN is and how it works.
