EPiSODE SUMMARY
Joanna is travelling across the northern most regions
of Greece, through an area that has been vastly
influenced by the world around it, more so than
anywhere else in the country. Her route is from the
western Ionian island of Corfu to the turbulent eastern
border it shares with Turkey and Bulgaria. It's a
frontier-land where foreign invasion and occupation
have left a fascinating legacy.
The British ruled Corfu for 50 years. Joanna discovers
how they left their mark with cricket, brass bands,
ginger beer and the staunchest local anglophiles in
Kensington-on-sea .
Crossing to the mainland, Joanna retraces the steps of
another lover of Greece. Lord Byron's inspirational
journey through the western highlands by horseback
became the stuff of legend and, just like the great
poet, Joanna also gets caught in a ferocious rainstorm.
Travelling across a land shaped by generations of
invading empires to its far eastern corner, Joanna
discovers traditions and cultures inspired by their
occupation.
Oil wrestling is still a big hit in one isolated
community. Another Muslim village has largely remained
hidden from the modern world for decades, only now do
the youngsters think of leaving to work in the city and
beyond. Joanna also joins young Greek army recruits on
a border outpost to try to understand the pressure on
the soldiers and their belief that Greece may still be
invaded today.
On this journey, one place above all reveals more about
this country's turbulent history than any other. The
port city of Kavala was subjected to a religious
exchange of peoples. It was emptied of Muslims and the
population replaced with immigrants from Turkey. 400,
000 Greek Muslims left the region and 1million Turkish
Christians took their place. She meets one of the last
known survivors, Minas Zaxariadis, who reveals a dark
secret.
