Pictures of the Year: The Greek Herald’s best community snaps of 2022

·

2022 was a year filled with Greek community events as COVID-19 restrictions lifted across Australia and people were able to gather again to celebrate our Greek culture and traditions.

Along the way, The Greek Herald has been there to inform you, to entertain you and to inspire you. We have been there to document events as they happen, keeping you up to date with the latest community news and capturing the true Hellenic spirit of Australia and abroad. 

With that being said, here are some of The Greek Herald‘s best community snaps of 2022.
