Default Any Greek communities in NC?

I'm interested in moving to NC and was wondering if there are any large greek communities in any part of your state? I was particularly interested in Raleigh, NC. Any information would be much appreciated. I'd be moving from NYC where the largest Greek community outside of Greece lives. I want to make sure there are Greek churches, greek restaurants etc.

thanks

I've read that Murfreesboro has the highest percentage of residents of Greek ancestry in NC. Around 2.4%.

Holy Trinity is the major Greek Orthodox Church in Raleigh. They have an annual Greek festival. Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church

I don't know if it is a large community, but it is well-established. According to the website, the church got started in Raleigh in the 1920s.
