Cosmos Philly is about us; our Greek American community as a Diaspora culture
Our goal is to preserve and perpetuate our identity, by sharing our past and present while providing a voice for the community. Via technology, we provide a multi-media platform to the community, region and the world.
Cosmos Philly is recognized as the best Greek multi-media forum covering the metropolitan Philadelphia area. We develop documentaries, news, and features via video, photography, and reporting. We also provide a variety of blogs from within the community that covers a range of subjects from a global level to the community.
