At the top of general search queries was “σεισμός τώρα” (‘seismos tora’ – earthquake now), reflecting widespread concern about seismic activity. Other trending topics included Social Tourism 2025 and the newly introduced Personal Number, alongside viral trends such as the toy sensation Labubu.
In the category of public figures, Eurovision contestant Klavdia, who represented Greece and finished sixth, drew the most attention. Socialites like Chrysi Vardinoyanni, who married Nikolaos de Grèce, and singer Giorgos Mazonakis, who made headlines for his hospitalization and family disputes, were also widely searched.
Among notable deaths, Greeks looked up Alexis Kougias, followed by activist Charlie Kirk—murdered at Utah Valley University—and rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.
Sports events also captured public interest, particularly Eurobasket, as well as key football matches involving AEK, Olympiacos, and Panathinaikos. In entertainment, films such as Nosferatu and reality TV shows like Big Brother and GNTM were heavily searched.
