Should I get a new sim card to have data in Greece?

What do you guys do when you travel to Greece? Do you get a prepaid sim card when you visit? And which phone providers do you recommend?

I always get a prepaid sim card so that I can call, text, and use data. It's almost impossible to travel comfortably without it

I prefer to use my international roaming or get a temporary upgrade with my US phone plan so that I can travel

I have T-Mobile in the US. My plan includes unlimited 2G data for most countries in Europe including Greece. This provides some basic ability to text but not much more. As dpappas87 said above, I get new pre-paid sim card every time I visit Greece (I usually stay for 15 days). The benefit is that most times I am offered a promotion of 8GB of free high-speed data. This is a big plus. The downside is that every summer I have a different cell #.
