Love Island (Greek TV series)

Love Island is a Greek dating reality show based on the British series Love Island. Following the premise of other versions of the Love Island format, the show features a group of single contestants, known as "islanders" who live together in a luxury villa that is isolated from the outside world, in an attempt to find love. Throughout the series, the contestants "couple up" to avoid being dumped from the villa. As old islanders are dumped, new islanders will enter the villa. At the end, Greece will vote one final time to determine the winning couple. It premiered on 29 September 2022, on Skai TV.[1] The show was hosted by Iliana Papageorgiou[2] and narrated by Vangelis Giannopoulos.[3]

Notes

edit
  • ^Note 1 : Alexandros K. arrived after the coupling on Day 1, but was told he would be able to steal a girl for himself on Day 2. He picked Christina, leaving Giorgos single.
  • ^Note 2 : After the initial recoupling, host Iliana revealed that there would be a twist. The girls were presented with envelopes, with each containing the name of a male Islander. The name written inside of the envelope determined who their partner would be.
