Athens as the anchor, regional stations for local reach

A Greek campaign typically anchors on Athens for the largest single audience, with regional stations added where a brief’s distribution extends into the rest of the mainland or the islands.

Where your campaign runs in Greece

Each city is its own station list and its own audience, so they are planned separately.

Why radio works in Greece

Three things about this market that make the medium punch above its cost.

Athens concentrates the largest audience

The capital remains the primary market for most campaigns.

Regional stations extend reach

Local stations reach audiences outside the capital a national buy alone wouldn’t cover.

Greek-language creative works nationwide

A single language version covers the market.
