My Greek Odyssey

In the first episode, Peter is arriving on the island of Kos. It’s the third largest island in the Dodecanese, and the second most populous. So apart from there being plenty of landmass to explore, there’s also loads of interesting people to chat to along the way. Peter will be covering every inch of the island, by foot, bike, boat and car, so it’s going to be a busy few days.

In this episode, Peter is making his way across to Nisyros. After spending the first few days of this trip to Greece exploring the busy hub of Kos, it was time to go somewhere a little more relaxed, which Nisyros sure is. Despite being known for it’s volcanic heart and quaint towns, it doesn’t have the infrastructure and resorts that draw in the masses. So that means things move just a touch slower.

In the last couple episodes we’ve been to Kos and Nysiros, and now Peter finds himself headed to the tiny island of Tilos. It’s one of those off the beaten path destinations, that remains relatively untouched by mass tourism. From there, he’s making his way to the picture perfect island of Symi, which unlike Tilos, gets its fair share of holidaymakers. Both islands have their charms and unique stories, and we`ll do our best to bring them to life for you.

Join Peter as he continues his time on Symi. He’d already spent a couple of days here, but with so much to see and do, he decided to stay the week. Peter is also going to visit one of the smaller nearby islands, Alimia, abandoned for just on 50 years. This little gem has some great stories that have sat under the radar for way too long!

Episode five sees Peter making his way to Chalki. It’s another one of those beautiful islands that most folks have never heard of. It’s a place of contrasts. The seafront in the port area is alive with people and energy, but the interior of the island is a barren landscape with very few inhabitants. From Chalki we’re then heading to Karpathos, where Peter will be experiencing it’s unique culture, in more ways than one.

In this episode, Peter starts his time on Karpathos. He has never been to this huge island, so naturally, was keen to see as much as he could. This episode picks up where Peter left off, with a couple more days to explore the place, before heading south to another island he has never visited – Kasos. So prepare to see Peter a little more excited than normal!

In this episode we’ve arrived on the Island of the Knights, Rhodes. It’s one of the most well known destinations in the world, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a place that constantly amazes, with grand architecture, dramatic history and even more spectacular landscapes. Peter’s going to show you all the major sites, but also some of the unique experiences, that locals have kept to themselves.

In the final episode of the series, Peter is leaving the largest island in the group, Rhodes, and heading east to one of the smallest, Kastellorizo. It’s in the farthest corner of Greece, sitting just off the coast of Turkey. We’ll actually be popping across to the Turkish mainland while there, to show you a great little fishing town. We will also break up the long journey with a visit to the tiny island of Ro with a significant personal story of a lady - the “Lady of Ro” – that embodies a spirit of pride, determination and resistance with which many Greeks identify.
