I love to watch some of the Greek sports channels when in Greece. There's nothing like a proper Greek broadcast for "football" - watching it in the US and English language just isn't the same.

I'd be willing to pay money for a service. Is there a way to get Greek TV in the United States that just has mostly the sports channels?
 
Here are some ideas. I have never been in this situation so I did some research:

Streaming Services - One of the most convenient options for watching Greek soccer games from the US is through streaming services. The most popular are Fubo TV, ESPN+, and Sling TV. Most of these services offer packages for Greek sports channels such as the famous Nova Sports channel. You can also check with your cable provider or satellite TV provider if they carry international sports channels with Greek games.

Greek TV Channels Online - Another option to watch Greek soccer games in the US is through Greek TV channels online. These channels such as ERT Sports, Nova Sports 1-7, and Cosmote Sport offer live streams of games. Some channels might require a subscription while others offer free streams.

Social Media - Some Greek soccer teams or channels have live streaming options via their social media accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You can follow your favorite teams and channels on these platforms to stay updated and watch games.

WATCH.GREEKTV.COM - This service provides live streams of Greek TV channels, including popular sport channels. It is a great way to stay connected with Greek TV and watch soccer games. The service requires a monthly subscription fee.
 
I ran into the same problem and couldn’t find anything reliable, so I started using https://latteperday.com/ to stay updated with game schedules and news. It doesn’t stream games, but it helps me keep track of what’s on and where it might be airing. Makes it easier to plan ahead and not miss key matches.

What alternatives to Linktree offer robust customization for bio links?

Trying to level up my bio link setup because Linktree feels kinda stiff for what I want to do. I’ve been tweaking my branding this year and I need something that lets me mess with colors, layouts, maybe even some light animations without feeling boxed in. I’m running a mix of art commissions and small merch drops, so having more control would help a ton. If anyone’s found a link-in-bio tool that lets you get creative without needing to code like a pro, I’d love to hear what’s working for you.

Information About Apokries?

I’ve been curious about how people experience Apokries and what it looks like in different parts of Greece. For some, it seems centered on big public celebrations and costumes, while for others it’s more about smaller gatherings, food, and local customs.

I’m especially interested in the traditions people grew up with. Was Apokries something your family actively celebrated, or did it feel more like a community event? Did you attend costume parties, parades, or specific local festivities? And how did days like Tsiknopempti fit into it for you?

I’d also love to hear whether your experience changed over time, for example, celebrating differently as a child versus as an adult, or noticing differences between village and city celebrations.

For those who no longer live in Greece, do you still mark Apokries in some way, or has it faded with distance?

I’m looking forward to hearing how this tradition shows up for others.

Greek Tsiknopempti Traditions?

I realized Tsiknopempti is coming up soon, and it made me curious how everyone celebrates it, especially outside of Greece. Growing up, I always associated it with grilled meat, lots of smoke in the air, and a general feeling of celebration before Lent started, but we never had a really structured tradition at home. Now I’m wondering if I should start one.

Do you usually grill at home, go out to a Greek restaurant, or gather with friends and family? Are there certain foods you always make, or is it more about the atmosphere and being together? I’ve seen photos from Greece where entire neighborhoods are grilling outside, which looks amazing.

I’d love to hear what Tsiknopempti looks like for you, whether it’s something big and festive or just a simple meal that still feels meaningful.

What are your favorite name day traditions?

I’ve always loved the tradition of celebrating name days. In my family, they’re just as meaningful as birthdays, and sometimes even more fun because they bring everyone together in a different way.

When a big name day comes around, especially one that several family members share, we often turn it into a full family gathering. For example, on a name day like Nick/Nikolas, where there might be multiple people celebrating, it becomes almost like a mini family holiday. Someone hosts, there’s plenty of food, and everyone comes by to wish the celebrants “chronia polla.”

I also like the simplicity of the tradition. Even if there isn’t a big gathering, people still call or send messages to acknowledge the day.

Do you celebrate name days in your family? And are there certain ones that turn into larger celebrations because several people share the name?

What was school like in Greece?

I’m Greek, but I never actually went to school in Greece. I only spent summers there growing up. Lately, though, I’ve become really curious about what everyday school life is actually like.

I have close Greek friends who are moving back to Greece permanently, and they have two young children (ages 5 and 7) who will be entering the Greek school system. It made me realize how little I really know about the day-to-day experience beyond what I remember from being around cousins in the summer.

For those of you who went to school in Greece: what was it like, especially in the early years? How structured is the school day? What’s the relationship like between teachers and students? And how do kids generally adjust socially?

I’m genuinely curious what those first school years might feel like for them!
