Greece, a Land on Water

Blessed with outstanding riches, Greece is a land where it is rare to lose sight of the sea. Some 15,000 kilometers of coastline and more than 9,000 islands and islets, all steeped in mythology and history, make it one of the jewels of the Mediterranean.

Proud of this natural beauty and the way they have managed to preserve their exceptional way of life, the Greeks are continually reinventing new ways to exploit this marvellous treasure. In this series, we discover a land in movement, whose inhabitants have succeeded in breathing new life into their heritage.

From the cliffs of the Corinth Canal to the cattle farmers of the Lagoon of Missolonghi, from the sponge divers of Kalymnos and the sailors of Samos to the shipping magnates of Piraeus, the series follows this marine renaissance, a new maritime odyssey.
