From lush green forests to snow-capped mountains, from towering cliffs to bare sandbars, the Greek islands are a land of unmatched natural beauty. The islands also have seen Europe’s earliest civilizations, its philosophical founders and its greatest battles. State-of-the-art aerial filming technology takes the audience to hidden coves, volcano craters, and whitewashed monasteries. On the ground olive-farmers, monks, shepherds, ferrymen and sculptors - ordinary people living in exceptional places - give original insights into historical buildings, sacred places and, last not least, culinary traditions that have affected Europe for centuries.
