Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest 1985

Greece was represented by Takis Biniaris with the song "Miazoume", at the 1985 Eurovision Song Contest, which took place on 4 May in Gothenburg, Sweden. The song was chosen internally by broadcaster ERT. Greece withdrew from the next edition in 1986, having been drawn eighteenth in order of presentation. The reason behind the withdrawal, was that the Eurovision contest coincided with Holy Saturday. Their entry would have been "Wagon-lit" (βάγκον λι) performed by Polina.
