Helena about the tour:
“I have to thank everyone who came and saw me and Manos Pirovolakis. It was really an amazing experience for me, I learned my country, I saw new to me places which I loved and also made new friends. I usually say that the good thing takes time to become true, after eurovision I was thinking of making a big tour all over Greece but I wanted it to be great and I think this year was the most suitable one.
Now it’s time for us to go back to our daily routine, to think about everything we lived and to keep only the best of our memories as valuable experiences.
I have to thank very much Manos Pirovolakis, the producer of the tour Andry Orfanidou, Thanasis Chondros, Fokas Evangelinos, Paris Anagnostopoulos, Nikos Chronopoulos, our musicians and dancers and all the 50 people who travelled with me! Guys you are amazing!
Thank you ‘Ivi’ and plaisio stores, Alpha TV, Imako and every sponsor who helped me a lot with the tour!
Thank you people! You were with me this summer and helped me find the reason to live! You were all great, I am gonna miss you! I will meet you again, october 31 at Iera Odos!
PS: Unfortunately the summer tour didnt end as it was expected to end because the concert in Crete was cancelled because of the strong rain. I was really sad because it would be the last concert and also because I love very much Crete and the people from Crete.”
