The drama series “The Beach,” based on the novel “The Girl with the Snail” by Penelope Kurtzi, directed by Stefanos Blatsos, and written by Georgos Chrysavitsanos and Kostas Gerabinis, with an exceptional cast of actors, transports us to Matala in Crete.

The story…

September 1969, Matala. The young doctor, Ypatia Archontaki (played by Danae Michalaki), returns from London to her childhood hometown to announce to her family that she is engaged and intends to marry Giorgos (played by Giannis Koukourakis). Giorgos, who lives with her in London and works in shipping, will come to Crete a few days after Ypatia to formally ask for her hand.

On her first night in Matala, she is reunited with her childhood friends and asks them to be her bridesmaids. They arrange to meet at the hippies’ party, who have found shelter on the enchanting beach of the area.

There, Ypatia will meet the peculiar yet welcoming community of the “Flower Children,” among whom is Harry (played by Dimitris Mothonaios). Love will blossom between them, starting amidst pain and obstacles, ultimately finding itself at the heart of a whirlwind that will upend everything the heroes once took for granted.

All episodes of the first season of the series 'THE BEACH' are available on ERTFLIX.

Kerasia, unable to bear the weight of Grantos’ revelation, turns to Arvanitakis who is still skeptical about the new facts that have emerged about Rinio’s murder, considering that the case is closed for good. At the same time, a group of youths attack and badly injure Tommy, demanding that he stay away from the village children he is teaching English to. Nikitas, in a flash of clarity, visits Demetrοs and learns of the great conflict between Nikolina and Antigoni, before the latter's death. Helen does not hesitate to blackmail the prefect by claiming the position of community leader. Anna is worried about Nikita's tension and resorts to Harry, informing him about her husband's behavior. Father-Nikolas, determined to surrender to the Police, meets the people close to him, first of all Kerasia, and informally bids them farewell. The community of hippies reacts to the prospect of building the large hotel designed by Eleni, believing that this will mark the end of their presence in Matala. In Heraklion, Mary, delving into Dimitros' treatment, pushes him to talk about his relationship with Violeta and reveals the truth about his real relationship with Grantos. Later, Mary relays their conversation to Nikolina, who is enraged by the psychologist's behavior.
