Syros to Paros (1x2)

Uitzenddatum: Jul 26, 2014

Arriving in Naxos, Nikos meets the flamboyant local harbour master and a billionaire property tycoon with a magnificent cruiser. He tries his hand at windsurfing and spends a crazy 24-hours on the party island of Ios. From there he travels to stunning Amorgos to dive for pirate treasure and learns why the seamen of Greece have a special spirituality. Our host then arrives on the island of Fournoi, and is welcomed into an endearing fishing family. Nikos sees first-hand the results of overfishing in The Aegean. He then confronts the captain of a supposedly-illegal super trawler. From there, Nikos travels to Samos to meet the renowned wooden boat builders, and learns of their struggle to survive. He caps off his stay with the most memorable of day-cruises around the island, captained by the most memorable of sea dogs!
