On Thursday, 30 January, at 21:00 EET (20:000 CET), the big night of Ethnikós Telikós 2025 will take place at the Christmas Theatre, where the song that will represent Greece in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest will be chosen.
With all the songs out in the open, we asked you to choose your favourite from the 12 competing acts.

Klavdia is a favourite to win Ethnikós Telikós 2025
Based on the wiwi poll, it looks like Klavdia could take a commanding lead in the national selection. She won with a resounding 49.35% of the vote — that’s nearly half of us saying “Αστερομάτα” is the Greek anthem, or miroloi, we’ve been waiting for.
Evangelia’s “Vále” follows with a solid 23.8%. This tells us she definitely has a fanbase, though she’ll need a few more choruses to catch up to Klavdia’s star power.
Barbz’s “Sirens” (8.63%) is sounding more like a warning that something big might be coming, but it’s a little distant in the rearview. Meanwhile, Dinamiss (6.38%) and Xannova Xan (4.44%) are keeping the competition interesting, but not quite hitting the same high notes as the top contenders.
At the bottom of the chart, we’ve got a few hopefuls like Andy Nicolas and Nafsika, who are more like the underdog stories that no one can predict.
Poll results: Who should win Ethnikós Telikós 2025 in Greece?
- Klavdia – “Αστερομάτα” – 49.35% (1,246 votes)
- Evangelia – “Vále” – 23.8% (601 votes)
- Barbz – “Sirens” – 8.63% (218 votes)
- Dinamiss (Ελένη και Μαρια Ντίνα) – “Odyssey” – 6.38% (161 votes)
- Xannova Xan (Κάλλη Γεωργέλλη) – “Play It” – 4.44% (112 votes)
- Κωνσταντίνος Χριστοφόρου feat Κώστας Καραφώτης – “Παράδεισος” – 2.46% (62 votes)
- Κώστας Αγέρης – “Γη Μου” – 1.58% (40 votes)

- Nafsika – “Unhurt me” – 0.87% (22 votes)
- RIKKI – “Elevator (Up and Down)” – 0.59% (15 votes)
- Θάνος Λάμπρου – “Free Love” – 0.4% (10 votes)
- Georgina Kalais feat Γιάννης Βλασσερός – “High Road” – 0.39% (10 votes)
All in all, it’s clear that Klavdia’s “Αστερομάτα” has the momentum to snatch victory, but honestly in Eurovision anything could happen. Let’s see if the others can climb the ladder — or if they’ll just be stuck in the elevator with RIKKI.
The presenters for the Greek national final will be Sakis Rouvas (Eurovision 2004 & 2009) and Helena Paparizou (Eurovision 2005). Meanwhile, the artistic direction of the event being handled by the one and only Eurovision staging expert, Fokas Evaggelinos.
The last time Greece held a national selection open to the public was back in 2015. Maria Elena Kyriakou won with the song “One Last Breath.”
Do you also think Klavdia is the standout act from Ethnikós Telikós 2025? Which entry has a shot at making it to the grand final in Basel? Which one is your personal favourite? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
I wish everybody good luck and may the best song and performer win tonight!
Praying for a great staging without corny dancers….
What really annoys me is that on the day of the Greek NF none of the songs are on Spotify.
meh …..
The last paragragh in the article is not correct. In 2016 Greece did not hold an open selection. The entry was selected internally.
Defo Klavdia
The song is fine, but it’s not really building into something special. I hope that Evangelia will win tonight. I think her song will get a better result in Basel
She is my favorite too. I hope she wins tonight.
Asteromata is very beautiful and touches heart and soul. Could be one of the best entries from Greece. Good luck.
shes the only real choice if Greece wants to make it to the final and possibly top ten.
