Home Greek Home

Sarah Moore renovates a house on the Greek island of Skiathos after buying it without seeing it during lockdown. Having spent many years holidaying and working on the island, Sarah has developed a deep connection to Skiathos and has long dreamt of owning a house there. The family visit the house for the first time and learn about the complications that come with renovating a house in a country with different rules and regulations.

With building works banned and builders doubling as speedboat drivers in the summer, Sarah's build is under pressure with just five weeks till the Greek tourist season begins.

Cracks are starting to show during the height of the tourist season. With the summer sun burning down on freshly poured concrete, Sarah has to step in to stop it all falling apart.

Sarah recruits her sons to help with the build. But will laying foundations and heavy lifting in the 30-degree heat help them get on board with creating Sarah's dream?

As the build finally comes together, Sarah's focus turns to finessing the interiors. Using her design skills to maximise the small space and ensure every inch is used to its best potential, she makes the surprising decision to place an alfresco bath on the roof.
