Gino's Italian Escape

Adriatic Coast: Tremiti (6x4)

Air date: Nov 22, 2018

Tonight Gino leaves the mainland of Italy behind and takes to the skies to visit the remote Islands of Tremiti. One of Italy’s best kept secrets this stunning archipelago lies 22 miles off the coast in the middle of the Adriatic. Local Marco gives him a tour of the largest island before Gino collects some local wild herbs and the mornings catch to create a delicious fish kebab, Robinson Crusoe style on the beach - with a homemade Italian twist on tartare sauce. The islands are a protected marine reserve so Gino heads out to see the magical world beneath the waves, and explores the medieval fortress that was once a prison. Finally using more local herbs he cooks up his own twist on a classic Italian steak dinner.
