Seasons & Episode
Peter is headed to the island of Evia for what’s going to be a busy couple of weeks, peeling back the fascinating layers and delve deep into what makes the place and its people tick.
Peter's journey continues exploring the massive island of Evia. Starting in Chalki, he'll be eating, drinking and hiking around the region to discover what this destination has to offer.
The final instalment covering Peter's time on Evia before upping anchor and cruising across to the much smaller island of Skiathos. There, Peter explores what was one of Greece's first postcard destinations, as well as eating like a local and making a few new friends.
In this episode, Peter is visiting an island on the doorstep of Athens, Kea. It might be just a stone's throw from the city chaos, but as you'll see, it's an island brimming with natural beauty and a serenity you expect to find in places far from the mainland. In the days ahead we're going to be walking the streets and mountain trails, exploring everything this pretty little island has to offer.
Peter is continuing his exploration of Kea, by taking the plunge on a shipwreck. After that he'll be catching up with his friend and author, Victoria Hislop, to learn about the harrowing tale of life on Makronisos. From there, we're headed across the Saronic Gulf to the little island of Agistri.
Peter finishing his time on Poros, one of the last stepping stones he makes his way back to Athens. From there it's a short cruise north to Aegina, which will be our last stop on the Odyssey. It's only 27 kilometres from the capital and several times throughout history rivalled Athens in terms of wealth and power. This amongst other things, is what Peter will be exploring while there.
This episode brings to an end the My Greek Odyssey adventure. After ten years of work and play, we're finishing up our exploration of the islands in Aegina. It's a weekend location for plenty of Athenians, and a place that many international tourists don't realise is one of the most complete holiday destinations that Greece has to offer. So, it's a fitting finale to what's been a remarkable and lifechanging journey.
