Greece : Athens And The Islands - Travel Documentary
To the Rhythm of Bouzoukis
In addition to quite exceptional archaeological wealth, Athens is also a modern city. Proud of their beauty and a lifestyle protected, amongst other factors, by distance, the Greek islands each have their own personality. Crossing the Aegean sea, the film takes the viewer deep inside a lifestyle of exceptional quality. Brushing aside the clichés, Pierre Brouwers and his superb camerawork give a wonderful insight into eternal Greece, a fascinating backdrop to the country’s evolution into the modern era.

Ancient Greece & the Mediterranean Islands
In the 2nd century BC, artistic and cultural activities reached their heights in the cities of Ionia, a densely populated area on the cost of modern-day Turkey, as well as on a cluster of islands off the eastern Mediterranean. Priene, Miletus, Delos, "Slave Island", Kos and Rhodes, home of the famous Colossus, are just some of the places we will be visiting.
Ionia (Ancient Greek: Ἰωνία or Ἰωνίη; Turkish: İyonya) is an ancient region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey, the region nearest İzmir, which was historically Smyrna. It consisted of the northernmost territories of the Ionian League of Greek settlements. Never a unified state, it was named after the Ionian tribe who, in the Archaic Period (600--480 BC), settled mainly the shores and islands of the Aegean Sea. Ionian s...

The Cyclades - Greece's enchanting white blue island world
Around the once sacred isle of Delos, some 200 islands, including 20 larger ones, are arranged almost in a circle. This is where the name of the Greek island paradise comes from: Cyclades, a derivation of the Greek word kýklos, circle. Each cyclade has a unique character.
The pelican Petros, about 20 years old, is the mascot of Mykonos. He moves from taverna to taverna all day long, scrounging fish. This works out sometimes well and sometimes not so well. Petros does have a few human friends who regularly slip him something, but all too often visitors eager to take pictures block his path. Then he has to "wiggle" his way through the crowd. Jackie Onassis is said to have once brought Petros' "great-grandmother" from Louisiana to the island.

Top things to do in Pollonia, Milos | Cyclades - English
Milos or Melos (; Modern Greek: Μήλος, romanized: Mílos, IPA: [ˈmilos]; Ancient Greek: Μῆλος, romanized: Mêlos) is a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea, just north of the Sea of Crete. Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group.
The Venus de Milo (now in the Louvre) and the Asclepius of Milos (now in the British Museum) were both found on the island, as were a Poseidon and an archaic Apollo now in Athens. Milos is a popular tourist destination during the summer. The municipality of Milos also includes the uninhabited offshore islands of Antimilos and Akradies. The combined land area is 160.147 square kilometres (61.833 sq mi) and the 2021 census population was 5193 inhabitants.

In addition to quite exceptional archaeological wealth, Athens is also a modern city. Proud of their beauty and a lifestyle protected, amongst other factors, by distance, the Greek islands each have their own personality. Crossing the Aegean sea, the film takes the viewer deep inside a lifestyle of exceptional quality. Brushing aside the clichés, Pierre Brouwers and his superb camerawork give a wonderful insight into eternal Greece, a fascinating backdrop to the country’s evolution into the modern era.

In this full length history documentary of Greece I'll cover the full range of time, from the Bronze Age civilisations of Minoan Knossos and Mycenae, through the dark age that followed and into the Archaic Age that saw the Doric people rebirth an even more spectacular culture of a rich Greek mythology of heroes and gods, ornate pottery, the Oracle of Delphi, and an alphabet that is still in use today and was the father of Latin and Cyrillic alphabets used across the world.
The cultural apex came during the Classical Age of the 6th and 5th Centuries BC, where Athens first experimented with democracy, and the Spartan phalanx held off the Persians at Thermopylae, where Socrates, Plato and
Aristotle brought new thinking to the world, creating Western Philosophy, where architecture of temples and theatres reached sublime levels such as those of the Parthenon, and where sculpture of the human form was perfected.
The squabbling polis or city states were eventually united under Phillip of Macedon, but it was his son,
Alexander the Great who would go on to export the rich Greek culture to the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East beyond when he conquered the much greater Persian Empire in 336 BC. After Alexander, his conquests were split among his generals, with the greatest being Ptolemy and Egypt, which only ended three centuries later with Cleopatra.
The Greek phalanx, however, ended up being no match for the Roman legions, and the Greek world was absorbed into the Roman world over several centuries, ending in Actium in 31BC. But "Greece conquered her rude conqueror" and the Romans adopted many of the customs and philosophy of their captors.
As the Pax Romana ended in the 3rd and 4th Centuries AD, with the sack of Rome, only the Eastern Roman Empire, centred around Constantinople would survive, going on for another millennium as the Byzantine Empire. But betrayed by their fellow Christians in the Fourth Crusade in the Sack of Constantinople, the empire was so weakened that it was finally picked off by the Ottoman Turks two centuries later in the Ottoman conquest of 1453.
The next four centuries were the darkest hour for Greece under Ottoman rule, but salvation would come with the help of the Western Powers with Greek independence in 1832. The modern Greek state expanded over the next 80 years to its current size today, albeit with the disastrous setback of the Greek-Turkish War of 1919-22. A brutal occupation by the Axis Powers in World War II ended only to be followed immediately by a civil war that left political scars between the left and right for decades afterwards, the low point being under the Regime of the Colonels from 1967-1974. Greece joined the EEC (EU) in 1982 and enjoyed benefits of membership but suffered badly in the 2008 financial crisis and the austerity measures that followed. Despite this, however, Greeks today still enjoy their best quality of life in centuries.

In the 2nd century BC, artistic and cultural activities reached their heights in the cities of Ionia, a densely populated area on the cost of modern-day Turkey, as well as on a cluster of islands off the eastern Mediterranean. Priene, Miletus, Delos, "Slave Island", Kos and Rhodes, home of the famous Colossus, are just some of the places we will be visiting.
Ionia (Ancient Greek: Ἰωνία or Ἰωνίη; Turkish: İyonya) is an ancient region of central coastal Anatolia in present-day Turkey, the region nearest İzmir, which was historically Smyrna. It consisted of the northernmost territories of the Ionian League of Greek settlements. Never a unified state, it was named after the Ionian tribe who, in the Archaic Period (600--480 BC), settled mainly the shores and islands of the Aegean Sea. Ionian states were identified by tradition and by their use of Eastern Greek.
Ionia proper comprised a narrow coastal strip from Phocaea in the north near the mouth of the river Hermus (now the Gediz), to Miletus in the south near the mouth of the river Maeander, and included the islands of Chios and Samos. It was bounded by Aeolia to the north, Lydia to the east and Caria to the south. The cities within the region figured large in the strife between the Persian Empire and the Greeks.
According to Greek tradition, the cities of Ionia were founded by colonists from the other side of the Aegean. Their settlement was connected with the legendary history of the Ionic people in Attica, which asserts that the colonists were led by Neleus and Androclus, sons of Codrus, the last king of Athens. In accordance with this view the "Ionic migration", as it was called by later chronologers, was dated by them one hundred and forty years after the Trojan war, or sixty years after the return of the Heracleidae into the Peloponnese.
From the 18th century BC the region was a part of the Hittite Empire with possible name Arzawa,which was destroyed by invaders during the 12th century BC together with the collapse of the Empire. Ionia was settled by the Greeks probably during the 11th century BC. The most important city was Miletus (the Milawanta of Hittites). Several centuries later Ionia was the place where western philosophy began and was the homeland of Heraclitus, Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes. They were natural-philosophers of the Ionian school of philosophy and tried to explain the phenomena according to no-supernatural laws. They also searched a simple material-form behind the appearances of things (origin) and this conception had a great influence on the early archaic art in Greece.

The Cyclades - Greece's enchanting white blue island world

Around the once sacred isle of Delos, some 200 islands, including 20 larger ones, are arranged almost in a circle. This is where the name of the Greek island paradise comes from: Cyclades, a derivation of the Greek word kýklos, circle. Each cyclade has a unique character.
The pelican Petros, about 20 years old, is the mascot of Mykonos. He moves from taverna to taverna all day long, scrounging fish. This works out sometimes well and sometimes not so well. Petros does have a few human friends who regularly slip him something, but all too often visitors eager to take pictures block his path. Then he has to "wiggle" his way through the crowd. Jackie Onassis is said to have once brought Petros' "great-grandmother" from Louisiana to the island.
Tassos Kontokostas is on the trail of the "rich and beautiful" on Mykonos. His painstaking preparation for a successful day: scanning all the social networks and finding out which celebrities are currently on the island. And then he has to know where the VIPs prefer to hang out, whether in clubs, restaurants or on one of the 22 beaches. Only then can he hit the bull's eye that the Athens tabloids love to snatch out of his hands. Like his snapshot of Roger Taylor, the drummer for Queen.
The white houses with blue roofs are typical of the Cyclades. But in Mykonos Town, even the sidewalks are painted white, at least the joints. Although this is extremely hard work, Anna Athimaritis also adheres to this unwritten law of street beautification. Because when it comes to this topic, the residents can't take a joke. They take good care of each other, and there are even warnings if someone doesn't keep up with the painting. The problem for Anna is that the alley in front of her house is very narrow. And how can you paint if there are always people walking around?
Nikos Verikokos is a stonemason on Naxos and thus maintains an ancient heritage. The island is home to the most famous marble quarries in Greece. From here, the coveted stone for sculptures, building elements, tiles or floor slabs is still shipped all over the world. Nikos needs the perfect block of marble for an urgent order. He gets it from the Karpotoni family, who have been running a quarry in the interior of the island for many generations. One phone call from Nikos and the Karpotonis are already preparing the blasting.
Katerina and Florentina Fragkoudaki are the "Kitro sisters". On Naxos, in the small village of Chalki, their family has been distilling a liqueur known throughout Greece since 1896: kitro. According to a traditional family recipe, a strong and very aromatic spirit is distilled from the leaves of the cedrat tree, an ancient Greek variety of lemon. And this is done with equipment that even the grandmother used.
Thousands of believers make the pilgrimage to Tinos on the Feast of the Assumption. As soon as they get off the ferry, they fall to their knees. Crawling, they want to reach the sanctuary of the island to pray for a miracle, help or healing. It is one of the biggest religious festivals in the country. Panajotis Tzanoutinos, who lives on Tinos, produces candles for this holiday all year round. Usually, it is the small thin candles that are used in vast quantities. For Panajotis, the Assumption means one thing above all: stress.

Milos or Melos (; Modern Greek: Μήλος, romanized: Mílos, IPA: [ˈmilos]; Ancient Greek: Μῆλος, romanized: Mêlos) is a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea, just north of the Sea of Crete. Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group.
The Venus de Milo (now in the Louvre) and the Asclepius of Milos (now in the British Museum) were both found on the island, as were a Poseidon and an archaic Apollo now in Athens. Milos is a popular tourist destination during the summer. The municipality of Milos also includes the uninhabited offshore islands of Antimilos and Akradies. The combined land area is 160.147 square kilometres (61.833 sq mi) and the 2021 census population was 5193 inhabitants.

In the jewel-bright Aegean Sea, a small Greek island holds an ancient mystery. 4,000 years ago, Dhaskalio was a promontory connected to its larger neighbor, the island of Keros. On this pyramid-shaped hill stood a sanctuary where visitors brought intentionally broken statues. A complex of buildings and terraces grew built with many tons of marble quarried on another island. Water conduits ran through the complex, advanced engineering for the age. In the 3rd millennium BC, Keros was becoming one of the Greece's first urban centers. But what made the sanctuary sacred in the first place is yet to be discovered.
