The event promised an evening of music, live entertainment, Greece – inspired cocktails, and of course, Eurovision tunes, making it an event not to be missed. And, of course, I did not want to skip that for the world.

As guests arrived, they were greeted by a vibrant and lively atmosphere, with the bar decorated in a regal and flamboyant theme. The room was filled with guests donning sequins, tiaras, and glittery facial tattoos (I got the Greek flag on one cheek and the Italian flag on the other cheek), truly embracing the Greek party spirit. The event drew a diverse crowd, with guests of all ages and backgrounds coming together to celebrate and enjoy the festivities.
