National Final - Greece (Eurovision Extras)

Greece and Ellinikí Radiofonía Tileórasi (ERT) chose to host a National Selection with the winner being chosen by televoting (50%) and an "expert" jury (50%). Antique was chosen with "Die for You" and placed 3rd at Eurovision.

The final took place on 6 March 2001 at the REX Music Hall in Athens, hosted by Dafni Bokota. Nine songs competed and the winner was selected over two rounds of voting. In the first round, the top four songs were selected by jury voting to proceed to the second round. In the second round, the winner, "Die for You" performed by Antique, was selected by a 50/50 combination of public televoting and jury voting. As there was a tie for the first place, the results of the public vote took precedence and led to the victory of Antique.
