Held on 6 March 2001 in Athens, the event saw nine songs compete to be the Greek entry; the results were determined by a combination of jury and televoting.

[4] Greece's least successful result was in 1998 when it placed 20th with the song "Mia krifi evaisthisia" by Thalassa, receiving only twelve points in total, all from Cyprus.

[6] The Greek final Ellinikós Telikós 2001 took place on 6 March 2001 at the REX Music Hall in Athens, Greece, hosted by Dafni Bokota and televised on ET1.

[8][10] The jury consisted of Lakis Papadopoulos, Sinia Kousoula, Alexis Kostalas, Evi Droutsa, Nikos Mouratidis, Lefteris Koggalidis, and George Katsaros.

During the voting phase, video clips of previous Greek Eurovision entries were shown, including "Krasi, thalassa ke t'agori mou" by Marinella (1974), "Mathima solfege" by Paschalis, Marianna, Robert and Bessy (1977), "Charlie Chaplin" by Tania Tsanaklidou (1978), "Sokratie" by Elpida (1979), "Autostop" by Anna Vissi and the Epikouri (1980), "Stop" by Bang (1987), "I anixi" by Sophia Vossou (1991), "Olou tou kosmou i Elpida" by Cleopatra (1992), and "Ellada, hora tou fotos" by Katy Garbi (1993).

Her bandmate Nikos Panagiotidis added that they received nearly half the viewer votes, casting doubt on the impact that fixing the jury would have.

Marina Kereklidou served as costume designer for Antique; Paparizou appeared in a white tight-fitting leather outfit with matching rhinestone belt.

[19] Alexis Kostalas [el] was the Greek spokesperson announcing the country's voting results during the show, a task he had performed since the 1998 contest.
