The bustling metropolis of Athens is Europe’s oldest city, and a centre of great antiquity. But alongside ancient ruins is a modern community where chaos and calm co-exist. Barry explores this vibrant city at street level, discovering the real Athens as lived by its locals, in its marketplaces and working-class eateries. Barry gets a taste of more than food, discovering many of Athens’ institutions including its oldest distillery, learning the art of worry beads, the barracks of the Presidential Guard and meeting a world-famous poet & sandal maker to the stars!
