My Greek Odyssey

The journey starts on the busy and sprawling island of Naxos where Peter begins unravelling the complexity of this diverse and colourful destination. On face value, you might just see it as an island of beaches, tourists and bars. But once you peel back that initial aesthetic and start to dig a little deeper, you see a depth of life and history that inspires you to keep wanting to unearth more.

In episode two Peter is continuing his time on Naxos. It’s such a big island with so much to see and do, a single show just wasn’t enough. He will be trying some of the local produce, meeting an artisan that’s continuing the history of the island’s famed sculptors, and delving deeper into the ancient past, right back to the first inhabitants who were here tens of thousands of years ago.

In episode three Peter is exploring Donousa, an island that often gets forgotten thanks to most of the tourists flocking to its far more popular neighbours. Peter’s plan is to check out some of the sites of this little gem, before pointing Mia Zoi southwest and making his way across to Koufonisia, another of those diamonds in the rough that’s waiting to be unearthed by the tourist masses.

In the fourth instalment of the series we’re headed to Keros, and island that only archaeologists are normally allowed to visit. From there it’s off to Schinoussa, where amongst other things, Peter will be exploring the food culture that sets it apart from neighbouring islands. After that, Mia Zoi is headed a couple kilometers westward to the wild and remote Iraklia, which might be the largest of the lesser Cyclades, but is one of the least developed.
