Maria Menounos has a deep love for Greece. Every time she gets the chance, she returns to her homeland to enjoy moments of relaxation and family happiness. The presenter, who has openly spoken about the challenges she faced on her journey to motherhood and the serious health issues she endured, is now living the greatest gift of life—her daughter, Athena.

The little girl was born via surrogate after years of trying and personal hardships. Since then, Maria Menounos has often stated that she wants to savor every moment of motherhood and give her daughter the love and care she deserves.

Currently, Maria Menounos is once again in Greece. Through social media, she shared photos from a boat ride with her koumbaroi (close friends and ceremonial sponsors), naturally accompanied by her daughter, Athena.

She spent the day with Sotiris Kyranakos and Marietta Chrousala. “Sun, salt, soul reset. A perfect day on the boat with my koumbaros Sotiris, my Marietta, and my little ray of sunshine,” wrote the presenter in the caption of her Instagram post.
