Thank you so much for being an Awesome KTG-ian 🙂
I am an ex-pat Brit who has lived in Crete for 10 years.I avidly read KTG every day and have always been impressed with it’s content and even-handedness. I have in the past, and still do, recommend this site to my friends whether in Greece or at home.
thank you, Robert! 🙂
KTG is a an essential source for everyone outside Greece interested in this country. The posts are precise & documented. Thanks for your work ! RG
thank you RG 🙂
KTG ist der beste Blog den ich seit 5 Jahren kenne.Informativ und kompetent.Danke dir
I am a brit working in a Greek bank and I am following your site on a daily basis to get the best insight with good commentaries. No buru buru as the greeks say 🙂 … I hope you keep up the good work mate…
I’ve been reading Keeptalkinggreece for a long time, and remain impressed with the content quality, the humour and the (some times no so) level headedness of the blog. Well done KTG, and may it last for many years to come…
Been reading KTG for some time now and find it to be a valuable source of information for what is going on in Greece. You report stuff that the MSM doesn’t. KTG gets quoted quite a bit by Zerohedge.com so you reach more people. I suggest you also contact them for your campaign. Good luck!
KeepTalkingGreece , my go to source of news & information from Greece for 6 years now , keep up the great reporting please , it makes me feel closer to the wonderful country & people.
Hi,
I am subscribed to the blog since a couple of years ago. It’s a great source of information in English, specially about politics. As an activist, I tried to make people from other countries understand the situation in Greece beyond the media bullshit. KTG helped me to understand it myself and to extract key pieces of information I would never find by myself.
The regular media, the counter-information media and so on are always using the information for own benefit and propaganda, KTG, instead, uses sarcasm and irony to point out the contradictions of the official stories and the everyday effects of politics in the people.
I appreciate as well the point of view of a local, which for me represents the opinions and feelings of the country. I can’t think of another way to understand these feelings otherwise.
Keep it up KTG!
PD: I am based in Spain.
I have been reading and commenting on KTG for many years, when residing in both Athens and the UK. Its independence and rapid yet often original reporting make it an important and invaluable repository of information concerning Greece and its role in Europe. Please keep on with the good work!
Dear KTG, I love your humour, I love your comments, I love your articles, but most of all I love the sincerity with which you keep us informed about what is happening in Greece – and doing it in English, which I understand much much better than Greek 😉 So please keep the blog going for many more years to come! Greetings from a Dutch KTG-fan living in Pelion.
KTG should publish a book.
6 years of material, daily stories, honest and even handed with a real this is how it feels to be leaving through this
I don’t know who KTG is, but I know she is female.
One of the best things on the internet
‘Athens’ we call it ‘Athens”! lol
Where I come for the truth 😉 have been looking at your website for news for the past 3 years !!!
Keep talking Greece: one of the best websites to stay up to date with what is really going on in Greece. Posts written with lots of knowledge and with a good sense of humor!
As a part-time resident of Greece, I need to stay in touch with the “goings on” when away; KTG is my life line!
KTG is an invaluable ADDITIONAL ENLGISH language NEWS source added to others I read regarding GREEK events.
Most DEFINITELY KTG should EXIST!!
It would be more than shameful to lose another lone Voice in the Wilderness.
As an Ex-Pat living in Greece for over 20 years, KTG is THE site that I read when I want an independent and truthful account of the situation in Greece today. Getting their daily updates in my email is my way of finding out what the other sites and media are not telling me. With great writing style and wit it is always a pleasure to read this news outlet and I sincerely hope that it stays around for many years to come.
I live near Athens.
Thank you, Keep Talking Greece, for all the invaluable reporting from the trenches of the Greek struggle. Your serious journalism and your sense of humor help us understand the plight of Greece as the situation unfolds on a daily basis, without missing a moment to reflect and share some incisive comments.
I used to follow Athens News until they were forced to close, so I had to find a new outlet for news in English, and I was more than glad to have found you. (They also had a strong sense of humor, and the not-so-odd starical, sardonic or ironic comment that followed their reporting made you enjoy the paper even more, as it so happens with KTG!)
Keep up the excellent work!
All the best,
Luigi, an Italian living in Buenos Aires, but in love with Athens.
I’ve been subscribing for a few years now. I like getting news about what’s happening in Greece from a private source who’s on top of the news. Also like reading the comments of other subscribers, who are living in Greece, for their views on life in Greece at this very pivotal time in its history.
KTG kept and keeps me informed on a daily basis with serious, actual articles about beloved Greece. Often with humour to clearly show us the absurdity of what is happening on every level, but always with a serious undertone to mark the sad events during the years. Thank you KTG, keep up this great blog please wich makes me feel so close to home everyday! With greetings an full support from The Netherlands.
I am a brit married to a Greek and have been living here for 40 years. I have been following KTG for a long while now and look forward to reading your viewpoint on the events and ‘goings-on’here in Greece. Love the humour, the comments and the real ‘feel’ of what it is like to be living here. A definite must-read. And thanks for keeping me sane at times when what is happening is all a bit too much to swallow!!
I am deeply touched….
Dear KTG, keep up the good work! Best, from Germany
I wish I was Greek and I had KeepTalkingGreece to keep me updated on what is going on in the country.
Can’t thank KTG enough for what it has been doing all this time.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ!!
I like KTG!
So Keep going!

i apeciate the efforts to which you go, to keep me up to date, in a fair unbiased way. keep talking greece , tells me in english news, that would otherwise escape me. thank you so much
Much needed informative,sometimes funny but always direct news.I live in Greece and appreciate it!!! May you have many years of success.
KTG is one of the best and most interesting, informative suppliers of Greek news and comment on Greek current affairs. The on-line service that KTG offers is first class. Long may it continue.
My time is divided between Rhodes and England, but whether I’m Greece or the UK, KTG is my lifeline for all Greek news and politics, always delivered with good humour. I would feel wholly uninformed without it! Thank you for all that you do.
I am from Holland and have lived for 7 years in Greece. A part of me, will always be there…. I read KTG every day because I want to keep informed about what’s happening in my so beloved Greece. I trust you and your blog is very valuable for me! Keep on talking, because you do a great job!!!
I have friends in Greece and my best friend is Greek,i love Greece and I go there when i can : people are so friendly,welcoming,helpful and it is a wonderful country where i always have great stays.I am so sad and angry that Greek people have been deprived of absolutely everything for years,that Greece has been deprived of its sovereignty,freedom,of everything.So i read keep talking Greece because thanks to keep talking Greece i know what happens,i know the truth and not what tv would like people living abroad to think.I don t want to watch tv or read mainstream newspapers : they don t say the truth at all,they are lying to us hiding us how life is for Greek people because of “Europe”,of the creditors who “saved” Greece,they keep saying.Thanks to Keep Talking Greece I know how things really are and i can even live “live” the important events that could change things (the elections,the votes in the parliament).Each time i hope so much Greece is going to win at last,to be delivered at last from the creditors,that people in Greece will be able to live at last.Unfortunately it never happened yet but reading Keep Talking Greece i could hope it several times, and i still want to hope that one day it will happen…
Thanks KTG because thanks to you foreigners can know what REALLY happens in Greece,thanks for the live blogging too and for your humour which i appreciate too.

I am British and have made my home in Greece. I try hard with the Greek language but struggle abysmably.
When I have the time I try and read KTG to get a different handle on events from those in the Guardian, Politico Europe or Kathimerini.
The comments are a good read and the replies from KTG are welcomed for there humour and friendliness.
Keep going KTG.
No crisis – no Keep Talking Greece!
Just after April 25, 1974 I decided start using my real name in every piece of writing: it’s my way of feeling free. I live close to Lisbon, Portugal, since 1987, but I was born in Angola, the African country experiencing the longest war. I’ve never been in Greece. From both Angola and Portugal I found it easy to testify a kind of agenda aiming to destroy the possibility of nationals to preserve sovereignty and maintain a state of peace and dignity, so the troubled relationship between Greece and European Union (and the European Central Bank) interested me from the beginning. The struggle of Portuguese and Greek people is amazingly close, so KTG looks into my eyes much as an talented and inspired fellow countrywoman.
I am a 65 year old Greek / Italian / Slovenian / English & a tiny bit of French, speaking female in Australia, I was born in Yugoslvia, now Slovenia, & was relocated here by my parents when I was 3 years old.
Alas, I do not read Greek well, KTG & other websites is my access to real gobal news – but not only to me. I know young Greeks in Australia who rely on Greek News in English as they do not read Greek.
We lost Al-Akhbar English, which has left a massive hole in the news from Lebanon.
Keep Talking Greece is a necessary news outlet if Greece wants the world to be in touch with their issues.
