Travel show produced by ERT 2024-2025
Kostis's journey begins in Nisyros, a volcanic geopark of global significance. In Zeli Locris, we discover the Women’s Association and their unique relationship with Saint Seraphim. In Ano Doliana, the locals divide their lives between Parnonas and Astros Kynourias, with the sea on one side and the "Village" on the other. We climb the unexplored Chelmos in Peristera Aigialeias and follow in the footsteps of Golfo and Tasos. When do they dance the legendary “Koupa” in Megalo Chorio of Tilos, and why is the island considered a place of innovation and pioneering? In Jourtzia Aspropotamos, Kostis dives into the “Demon's Mantani,” and in Neo Argiri, he walks in the footsteps of Zacharias Papantoniou. Why has Nikos Tsiforos dubbed Lake Evia “Little Venice”? Sunday in the Village Again: a magical journey into history, folklore, music, cuisine, customs, and traditions. A journey into our culture.
Today:
"Palia Kastania, Servia"
Episode 10
On Sunday, we visited the "balcony" of Western Macedonia. From Palia Kastania Servion, the view of Polyfytos Lake and the Pieria Mountains is truly captivating. Kostis explores the history of the area, from the legendary Castle City of Servia (some have called it the "Mystras of Macedonia") to the monastery of Agios Antonios. He chats with the locals about their roots, which trace back to Pontus and Cappadocia, and through their music and songs, their memories come to life.
At the Nautical Club, he meets Panagiotis Makrygiannis, a world rowing champion, and at Chounis Gorge, he encounters the "trechalakis," a group of volunteers who open paths and organize mountain running races. At the Folklore Museum, we hear touching stories about the village, and then we cook up a delicious gouliano lemonato. Thanks to the efforts of the Cultural Association, Palia Kastania Servion has once again become a popular destination.
