This isn’t the first time Parker’s love for Greece has surfaced. Long-time fans will recall her past visits to the country, often documented on her social media accounts with snapshots of idyllic landscapes and heartfelt captions celebrating the beauty of Greece.
A Timeless Career with Global Reach
Born in Ohio, USA, Sarah Jessica Parker began her career as a child actor on Broadway before rising to prominence in the 1980s and ’90s with roles in films like Footloose (1984), Hocus Pocus (1993), and The First Wives Club (1996). However, it was in 1998 that she became a household name with Sex and the City, portraying Carrie Bradshaw — a New York-based columnist known for her sharp wit, romantic misadventures, and signature style.
Her portrayal earned her numerous accolades, including four Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards, cementing her status as a global pop culture icon.
Today, Parker continues to shine in And Just Like That…, while also managing a successful shoe line, the “SJP Collection,” and producing through her company, Pretty Matches Productions.
A Love Letter to Athens
Parker’s recent declaration about Athens goes beyond celebrity admiration — it’s a testament to the city’s enduring ability to captivate and inspire. Her comments highlight how Greece, and Athens in particular, continue to resonate not only with visitors but with some of the world’s most celebrated figures.
From the ancient glow of the Acropolis to the vibrant urban life of today’s Athens, Parker’s affection serves as a reminder that the city’s charm is both timeless and universal.
As the world tunes in to the next season of And Just Like That…, it’s clear that Carrie Bradshaw may still love New York — but Sarah Jessica Parker has found another city to adore, one bathed in sunlight and steeped in millennia of history.
