'Mazi' with our Sponsors
January 1, 2026
Good morning — and Happy New Year!
We’re kicking off the first Mazi for a Minute of 2026 with full mugs, clear eyes, and a lot of gratitude. As we turn the page on a full, demanding, and unforgettable 2025, we wish you a healthy, happy, and steady New Year, for you, your families, and our entire Hellenic community.
This week’s edition reflects exactly where we’re standing: looking back at what mattered most, and looking ahead to what’s already taking shape. From the stories readers couldn’t look away from, to fresh starts in culture, food, tech, and community life, the throughline is resilience — and momentum. Greece, the diaspora, and our shared story continue to evolve, sometimes quietly, sometimes loudly, but always with intention.
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, North Shore Farms, Limani Restaurant, Divani Collection Hotels, Aria Hotels – La Divina, Sand Castle, Parklane Resort & Spa Limassol and Ethnikos Kirikas/ The National Herald, for supporting this newsletter and the journalism behind it. And thank you, above all, to our readers, subscribers, and advertisers for trusting us, challenging us, and standing with Ethnikos Kirikas / The National Herald through another year.
Here’s to 2026: fewer distractions, better questions, stronger communities, and staying Mazi for whatever comes next.
