Here are my Top 15 Greek Songs that inspire travel to Greece which I’m sure music lovers from around the world would enjoy. You definitely don’t have to be Greek to like these great songs. The bonus with these Greek songs is that you can watch some of the best music videos from Greece you could ever hope to see.
The scenery is fantastic in some of these music videos, especially the songs set in the Greek Islands. Hot Greek women, cool Greek guys, these Greek music videos have it all.
One thing that I should warn you about is that you will notice sunscreen and drink brand advertising in a few of these music videos. It definitely distracts from the music, but I suppose it allows for a better overall video to be made.
If you listen to all of these top Greek songs from Greece, I’m sure you will have heard and seen some of the best Greek songs of all time. One of the songs could even inspire you to visit Greece for the first time if you haven’t been already.
You need to listen to all of these songs, even though I have a countdown, since my taste in Greek music may be very different to yours. I’m sure you will enjoy listening to a few of these songs, no matter what your taste in music. Let’s start off with a classic.
15. Stereo Love – Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina
Ok, technically this is not a Greek song, but that won’t stop me from including it in this list. Listening to this song from 2009 to begin with is a great way to start this countdown of best music videos from Greece, as the song is extremely catchy and it was shot in the island of Mykonos, in Greece.
I’m sure you will enjoy it. Anyone who has heard it before will probably remember it straight away. Once you’ve heard it once, how could you ever forget?

1. Ela – Despina Vandi (My Top Greek Song)
Greek song name translation: Come to me – Δέσποινα Μαλέα
- From the album: Gia
- Label: Heaven
This music video is set on the Greek island of Milos, the island where the statue of Venus de Milo was first discovered. The island is also famous for the greyish-white smooth lunar like rock at Sarakiniko beach.
Ela has to be one of the most heavenly songs I have ever heard and seen in my life.
I rank it as the best Greek song of all time. Despina Vandi is definitely a Greek Goddess. No wonder the label is Heaven.
Greek Music Video Setting: Milos
Despina also has another song in this list of best Greek Songs and Music Videos (number 12 position) if you didn’t notice.
