In a cheerful and excited tone, just before departing from Athens’ Eleftherios Venizelos Airport, Damon spoke to the cameras of the TV show To Proino about his experience in Greece.

This marks not Damon’s first visit to the beautiful country. He expressed his love for Greece, saying, “I feel amazing in Greece, I really love it. This isn’t my first time here; I’ve been here many times. This time, I’m here for a new film.” He went on to share his excitement for being part of the Odyssey project, noting, “I’m really happy to be here. I haven’t learned any Greek words, though,” adding a touch of humor to his statement.

Odyssey will see most of its filming take place in the picturesque regions of Messinia and Corinthia. Damon, always approachable and down-to-earth, looked casual at the airport, dressed in jeans, a black hoodie, and a cap. Despite the busy travel schedule, he remained in good spirits, patiently awaiting his flight alongside fellow passengers.
