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.

Do younger generations still follow traditional Greek customs?

Lately I’ve been wondering how much traditional Greek culture is still being carried forward by younger generations, both in Greece and in the diaspora.

I’m not talking only about the big holidays or major family events, but the smaller everyday things too — name days, church traditions, hospitality, family meals, fasting periods, village festivals, coffee rituals, respect for elders, even certain sayings and customs. Do younger Greeks still actively participate in these traditions, or do they mostly happen because parents and grandparents keep them going?

I imagine the answer probably depends a lot on location, family, and lifestyle. Someone growing up in a village might have a different experience than someone in Athens or abroad. I’d love to hear from people of different ages, which traditions have stayed strong, which ones are fading, and are there any that younger generations are bringing back in new ways?

How did your family spend summers in Greece?

I’m curious how many of you spent summers in Greece growing up.

My experience was a little different. My parents both worked full time, so we never packed up and spent entire summers in Greece the way some Greek families did. But I had friends and cousins who seemed to disappear every June and come back just before school started, full of stories about village life, island beaches, family gatherings, and adventures with cousins.

I always found those stories fascinating and sometimes wished I had experienced that myself.

For those of you who did spend summers in Greece, what was it like? Did you stay in a village, a city, or on an island? What did your typical days look like? Are there any traditions, memories, or experiences that still stand out to you today? I'd love to hear your stories!

How was your experience using a virtual concierge at a luxury resort?

Booked a fancy resort for a once-in-a-blue-moon getaway, and they keep hyping up this “virtual concierge” thing like it’s the next big miracle. I’m kinda torn. Part of me loves the idea of ditching phone calls, but part of me worries it’ll feel cold or glitchy, like talking to a chat bot instead of a real human who actually cares if my room smells weird or if I need extra towels. If you’ve used one before, was it helpful or just marketing fluff? I’m trying to figure out if I should trust it or just stick to the front desk.

What Does Philotimo Mean to You?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the word, or really, the concept, of philotimo. It’s one of those Greek words that just doesn’t translate neatly into English. I was recently trying to explain it to a non-Greek friend, and I realized how difficult it is to put into words!

I ended up talking about ideas like honor, dignity, courage, generosity, and doing the right thing because it’s simply the right thing to do. I even used some historical examples, including the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae and the spirit of Ochi Day, to try to explain the sense of duty and selflessness that I associate with philotimo.

But I know the concept can also show up in much smaller, everyday ways. How would you explain philotimo to someone unfamiliar with Greek culture? What does the word mean to you personally?

Are most Greeks left or right?

Are most Greeks liberal leftist progressives? Most that I encounter are. Not only that but self hating. WHY?
