As Greece begins its preparations for Eurovision 2026, the country’s 2025 representative in Basel, Klavdia, has announced her ambition to return to Eurovision in two or three years—with the clear goal of winning it all!
Greece has officially launched its preparations for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, which will mark the 70th edition of the world’s most popular musical event. Amid these preparations, singer Klavdia, who represented the country at Eurovision 2025, appeared on the Greek morning show “Smile Again” and spoke about the powerful experience she had in Switzerland. According to her, the connection with the audience and the sense of camaraderie outweighed her final ranking, and she is already dreaming of returning to the competition—this time, to win.
Klavdia Reflects on Her Eurovision Experience and the Power of Audience Support
Klavdia emphasized that, for her, participating in Eurovision 2025 was not measured solely by points or placement, but by the love and feedback she received from the public. “For me and my team, we already won,” she said. “The reactions we got, both there and after we returned, gave us so much strength and joy.” This sentiment is well known among Eurovision participants throughout the years—public support and emotional connection often matter more than the final score.
Having covered Eurovision 2025 on the ground, I could clearly sense the family-like atmosphere within the Greek delegation. Klavdia was usually relaxed, friendly, and well-liked by everyone. She gave the EuroMix team two separate interviews, and her united delegation was one of the friendliest we encountered.
From the Eurovision Stage to Major Music Awards: Klavdia’s Journey
Klavdia, who rose to prominence in Greece even before Eurovision, shared that as time passes, she misses the days of the competition in Switzerland more and more—describing them as “a beautiful and unforgettable memory.” She explained that the bond with her team and their shared experiences created a sense of family, and their collective goal is to return in the future, this time with a clear mission: to win Eurovision. In the interview, Klavdia revealed that she plans to perform soon at the Mad Video Music Awards 2025 with a unique show—demonstrating how Eurovision serves as a true springboard for young artists and continues to have a broad cultural impact long after the contest ends.
Behind the Scenes: Fan Communities, Trends, and Cultural Influence
Eurovision fan communities, especially in Israel and Greece, have in recent years become a significant force supporting contestants even after the competition. Klavdia enjoys widespread support in Facebook groups, on Instagram, and WhatsApp—a trend strengthened by her high level of engagement with fan media compared to other artists. On EuroMix specifically, voices have praised Klavdia for putting Greece back at the center of the European music conversation—not only thanks to her performance, but also due to her likable personality and social approach.
Greece at Eurovision 2025
“Asteromáta” (translated as: “Eyes of Stars”) is the song performed by Klavdia, who represented Greece at Eurovision 2025. Greece advanced to the Grand Final after finishing fourth in the second semi-final with 112 points. In the Grand Final, Greece secured sixth place with 231 points, with both the jury and the public awarding her eighth place.
The sixth-place finish achieved by Greece is considered the country’s best result since 2013, when it also ranked sixth.
Eurovision 2025: This was Greece’s 45th participation in Eurovision. Greece joined the competition in 1974 and achieved its best result in Eurovision 2005 when singer Helena Paparizou won first place with the song “My Number One”.
