Greece, the new Odyssey (2015x5)

: 06, 2015

What if the sea came to Greece's rescue? What if the sea was one of the solutions to the crisis? "The sea has a country" was an advertising slogan in the 70's! This adage is even truer today. With more than 20 million tourists last year, and a population of 11 million, Greece and its coastline are attracting more than ever. With a coastline of 15,000 kilometres, more than 9,000 islands and islets, Greece is a country where it is rare to lose sight of the sea. From the cliffs of the Corinth Canal to the herders of the Messolonghi Lagoon, from the sponge fishermen of Kalymnos, from the sailors of Samos to the shipowners of Piraeus, from the splendours of Santorini to the protected turtles of Zakhyntos, this film follows this possible rebirth along the water, this new maritime odyssey.
