One of the most famous Greek singers. She was born into a family of Greek immigrants in Sweden, but eventually returned to her historical homeland and won the love of her people. Fans of the Eurovision vocal contest have known this performer since 2001, when Elena performed as part of the Antique pop duet. In 2005, when this major vocal competition was held in Kyiv, Elena Paparizou performed there again, but with a solo program and received the highest rating from the audience, winning first place with the song My Number One from her debut album.
However, the victory in Kyiv was only the beginning successful career singers. After the tour, Elena took up writing with even greater zeal, and on this moment her discography already includes 4 Greek-language and 2 English-language albums. Her songs have received many times the highest music award in Greece - the Arion Music Awards. Also, the performer was awarded in 2007 with the European Border Breakers Awards, which is awarded to musicians who have gained great popularity outside their native country.
singer Sakisa Rouvasa called the Greek Elvis Presley. He is also talented, attractive and has an incredible charisma that draws fans to him. And it was with the performance of Elvis songs in hotels and clubs in Greece that 17-year-old Sakis began his musical career. The gifted young man was noticed by the producers of the famous Greek recording studio, and already in 1991 the singer's first album was released, which was very warmly received by the audience. Since then, Sakis Rouvas has been releasing almost every year new album, participates in a variety of musical and television projects, experimenting with styles and images. In 2004 and 2009 he represented Greece in song contest Eurovision.
Greek and Cypriot singer Anna Vissi one of the long-livers of the musical scene of this country - she began performing in the mid-70s. Thanks to the unfading beauty, vigor and modern style she is often compared to Madonna. Like the aforementioned performers, Anna also represented Greece at the Eurovision Song Contest (in 1980 and 2006), as one of the best singers countries participated in the closing ceremony of summer Olympic Games in Athens in 2004. The singer has more than 2 dozen studio albums, many national prizes, as well as recognition of such an authoritative music magazine, as BillBoard - in 2004, her single "Call Me" took first place in the dance hit parade of this publication.
Another star of modern Cypriot and Greek pop music - singer, composer, pianist and guitarist Michalis Hadjiyanis. sing in various music competitions the young man began while still studying in College of Music. After the first successes, he got into qualifying rounds to Eurovision and in 1998 represented Cyprus at this competition. Exit to big stage contributed to active creative development Michalis. He collaborated with famous composers Greece, made many tours in Europe and the USA, participated in many foreign festivals Greek culture both as a musician and as an actor. Greek Forbes in 2010 included Hadjiyanis in the list of the most influential musicians in the country.
One of the most popular and at the same time very colorful singers in Greece. In her songs, you can hear original arrangements with elements of local folklore and excellent melodies that will surely be remembered by listeners for a long time. The peak of Despina's popularity falls on the beginning of the 2000s, when the fifth album "Gia" was released. And although in subsequent years the performer still actively performed and recorded excellent compositions, she did not receive her former popularity. At least this is evidenced by the fact that the singer has never won in national competition to participate in Eurovision, the whimsical Greek public over and over again gave preference to other performers.
A recent selection of the most charming and attractive Greeks in film and TV did not satisfy some discerning readers. In the previous article, beautiful Greek singers were deprived of attention, but I wanted to publish this category of handsome men separately, including not only photos, but also videos with their songs.

The most beautiful Greek singers

11 Young singer
12 Talented self-taught singer, former foreman of the Greek Navy, who retired to become a singer. He swept like a bright star through the pop firmament of Greece, winning millions of hearts. Unfortunately, Pandelis tragically died in a car accident on February 18 this year, he was only 32 years old. As a rule, he wrote his songs himself, both music and poetry. And learned to play musical instruments I never studied music on my own. But I included him in this collection more because he was just the personification of a simple Greek guy, with all his advantages and disadvantages, external and internal. The typical physiognomy and figure of an average Greek, simple and broad soul, somewhere naive and simple, somewhere self-confident and cunning. Ellinas, as the Greeks say, that is, Hellenes in superlatives, all 100%. May the earth rest in peace...
Of course, these are not all beautiful Greek singers, and I absolutely do not pretend to be the ultimate truth. Some of you have your own idols, and it will be great if you share your opinion in the comments. Who else do you think deserves to be on this list?
