"Krasi, Thalassa Ke T' Agori Mou" was succeeded as the Greek representative at the 1976 Contest by Mariza Koch with "Panayia Mou, Panayia Mou". Greece had pulled out of the 1975 Contest for "unknown reasons" according to the EBU, but it was later discovered that the withdrawal was in protest of Turkey's debut and its invasion of Cyprus in July 1974.
