The twelfth season^[1] of the popular reality show Survivor Greece premiered on 16 September 2024 on Skai TV in Greece and (via simulcast) on Sigma TV in Cyprus. Giorgos Lianos returned as host for his seventh consecutive season. In August 2024, the official trailer was released,^[2] announcing the show's return. This season marks the first time the show has premiered earlier than January.

The format of the game changed significantly^[3] from previous seasons, as the producers decided to follow the Mexican version of the show, which is also produced by Acun Medya. The teams were renamed and given new colors: the yellow team became the Tigers, and the green team became the Eagles.

The game began with eighteen contestants, divided into two teams: the Tigers (yellow) and the Eagles (green).^[4]

In the second episode, five new contestants—Christiana Grigoraskou, Mairi Peteinari, Maria Kerasioti, Michalis Kondylas, and Vladimiros Siikis—joined Ekaterina on Exile Island, awaiting their entry into the game.

In episode 7, Ekaterina was informed that she would be returning to the game. As the teams prepared to compete, Ekaterina made her entrance, leaving everyone speechless. She and Giorgos Lianos informed the players about Exile Island and that five new contestants would soon be joining the game. Ekaterina rejoined her former team, the Eagles, and the five new players arrived. The teams then competed for a reward, which also included the first pick of a new player to join their team. The green team won and chose Mairi Peteinari, Vicky's twin sister, while the yellow team selected Vladimiros. Christiana, Maria, and Michalis returned to Exile Island.

In episode 8, Michalis and Maria returned once again to enter the game. Giorgos Lianos announced that Christiana had decided to leave the show. The yellow team won and chose Paraskevi's sister, while Maria and Michalis joined the green team. Later, Christiana changed her mind and rejoined the yellow team.

In episode 12, Giannis Grymanelis decided to leave the game voluntarily. Giorgos Lianos announced that two new contestants—a man and a woman—would soon join the yellow team, marking the final additions to the cast.

In episode 13, Vladimiros from the yellow team and Orfeas from the green team switched tribes following a decision made by their team leaders.

In episode 14, Giannis Keli entered the game.

In episode 19, Stefania Glara was added to the yellow team, becoming the final addition to the cast.

In the first episode, although the teams did not compete in an immunity challenge, one player from each team was nominated: Maria Lymperopoulou from the Tigers and Ekaterina Lidvinova from the Eagles.

After competing in a challenge, Maria won, and Ekaterina was eliminated. After leaving, she found a note informing her that she was not leaving the game but instead moving to Exile Island.
