It's Klavdia for Greece at Eurovision 2025 with 'Asteromáta'
30 January 2025 at 22:54 CETOn Thursday 30 January, Greece held its national final Ethnikós Telikós - its first Eurovision pre-selection since 2017.
12 songs participated, broadcaster ERT opened a vote to the public, a national jury and an international jury, and by the end of the evening we had a winner. Klavdia will represent Greece at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest with the song Asteromáta.
Greek broadcaster ERT released the final scoreboard after the show had aired.
Klavdia won Ethnikós Telikós with a total of 44 points. The runner-up was Evangelia with the song Vále, on 42 points. While Sirens by BARBZ earned a bronze-medal finish on 30 points.

Klavdia
She's gone from reaching the final of The Voice of Greece (where she was mentored by Eurovision winner Helena Paparizou) to releasing platinum-selling singles, and has now amassed a following on social media due to her popular covers; currently being shared to her over 200,000 followers on TikTok.
Hits like Haramata and Vasanizomai helped her win Best Newcomer at the Super Music Awards in Cyprus in 2023. And Lonely Heart became her first number 1 on the Shazam Discovery List.
Although Klavdia is just 22 years of age, she has already appeared on stage alongside some all-time great artists such as Dionysis Savvopoulos, at the Mad Video Music Awards together with Konstantinos Argyros, and in concerts with Giorgos Sampanis.
She has also collaborated with popular DJs and music producers like Playmen and Valeron, covering international dance hits of the ‘00s and putting her own unique spin on them (Touch Me and Movin’ Too Fast being particularly well-received).
Ethnikós Telikós was hosted by two stalwarts of the Eurovision Song Contest stage: Sakis Rouvas who represented Greece at the Contest in 2004 and 2009, and Helena Paparizou who won Eurovision for Greece in 2005 and who represented the country at the 2001 Contest, as part of Antique.
As well as introducing the competing entries, Sakis and Helena also treated the audiences to a thorough celebration of Greece's history at Eurovision Song Contest. And this included a special Eurovision medley performed by both Sakis and Helena as the opening number.
Plus, we also go two more extra-special Eurovision performances as the interval acts: a Sakis solo medley as the where the Eurovision 2006 co-host performed his two Contest entries Shake It (2004) and This Is Our Night (2009), and a Helena-in-focus medley, where Greece's first (and to date only) Eurovision winner gave us a rendition of her Contest entries Die For You (2001) and My Number One (2005).
Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest
Greece debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton in 1974, where they were represented by songstress Marinella with Krassi, Thalassa Ke t' Agori Mou ('Wine, Sea, and My Boyfriend').
Before the Hellenic Republic entered in its own right, several Greek singers competed for other participating countries with great success; notably representing Luxembourg were global superstars Nana Mouskouri (in 1963) and Vicky Leandros (in 1967 and 1972) who would win with her second attempt Après Toi (‘After You’).
Broadcaster Elliniki Radiofonia Tileorasi (ERT) would have to wait until 2005 for a victory of their own, which came when Helena Paparizou stole the show in Kyiv, winning with her dancefloor filler My Number One.
Still a firm fan favourite, Helena performed as a Contest special guest at Rotterdam 2021 and Malmö 2024.
