In addition, ERT was also the host broadcaster and staged the event at the Olympic Indoor Hall in Athens after winning the previous edition with the song "My Number One" by Helena Paparizou.

To promote the entry, Vissi made appearances across Europe in countries that take part in the contest, including events in Belgium, Greece, Russia, Malta, Cyprus, Albania, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Sweden.

In addition, her most recent album at the time, Nylon, was re-released as a "Euro Edition", including her entry as well as the other three songs from the national final.

[3] Its 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.

Sakis Rouvas was again approached by ERT in August or September 2005, however, he declined as there was no reason for him to go especially when Greece was the reigning champion (making chances of winning little to none), despite having considered it briefly.

[9][10] On 27 November 2004, MAD TV reported that Despina Vandi, who had previously been asked in 2005, was seriously considering representing Greece in the 2006 contest after having possibly been approached by ERT.

[11][12] On 12 December 2005, Star Channel reported that Anna Vissi, who previously stated that she "never [excludes] a Eurovision Song Contest participation as long as everything is organized well", would soon be approached by ERT.

In a press interview, she said the final decision took so long to be announced because she was still debating entering, having to use opinion polls along with talking to her usual collaborators.

[22] The jury consisted of Mimis Plessas, Antonis Andrikakis, Dimitris Starovas, Themos Anastasiadis, Christina Politi, Evangelia Piskera, Antonis Karatzikos, Rena Kapitsala, and a ninth aggregate press jury vote consisting of Sietse Bakker (ESCToday) and Fotis Konstantopoulos (Oikotimes).

She met with Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Panteleimon of Belgium to whom she offered an autographed copy of the CD single for "Everything" after having spoken to the media.

Vissi then attended a reception at the Greek embassy before meeting up with Belgium's Eurovision entrant Kate Ryan, with whom she visited a chocolate museum.

[28] After Belgium, Vissi returned to Greece for a break before leaving for Israel, the last stop on the tour, where she remained for ten days.

[14][33] The semi-final and final were broadcast live in Greece, with commentary during the shows provided by Giorgos Kapoutzidis and Zeta Makripoulia on television and Maria Kozakou on radio.
