Before Eurovision
[edit]National final
[edit]Elliniki Radiofonia Tileorasi (ERT) held the national final on 18 March 1983 at its television studios in Peania, hosted by Mako Georgiadou. Originally, there were 11 songs taking part, but song 7, "Horos tis nichtas" by Petros Dourdouvakis was possibly disqualified, as it was not included in the voting results. The winning song was chosen by a 50-member jury composed of "experts" and members of the public.

At Eurovision
