The episodes of the documentary series visit areas whose roots trace back to the depths of history. Their modern image is unique because they combine their stone traditional presence with the beauty of untouched mountainous landscapes.
Settlements perched on steep slopes overlook ravines and gorges like eyries in the rugged terrain. The undulations of the mountain ranges fade into the horizon in a dreamy combination of ruggedness and primordial harmony.
Images of unprecedented beauty, like folk paintings embroidered on pine-covered slopes and magnificent plateaus. Areas like the historic Dimitsana, the silver-gold-bearing Stemnitsa, the Koryschades and Viniani, with their more recent historical presence in the resistance against fascist Germany, the wonderful "Balkans" of Evrytania, as the villages of Stefani, Sella, Miliá, and Fidákia are called, the ruined Marathias, the beautiful stone bridges of Evrytania, compose delightful images and are approached with a deeper exploration of cultural and historical continuity.
Today:
«Tripoli, the city of memory»

The large Areos Square, where the imposing equestrian Kolokotronis is built and the Court House, the first court house that was built in Greece. Museums, the elegant Theatre, neoclassical buildings, well-kept barracks adorn the city. Tripoli, in 1821, was the seat of the Ottoman Pasha of the Peloponnese.
