"Setta of Evia"
Episode 1
Sunday: Back to the Village once again, in Setta of Evia, in a village that legend has it that it was named after the French wife of a Turkish Ruler. The most mountainous village of Evia, at an altitude of 760m on the southeastern slopes of Mount Dirfi, is home to two small settlements, Ano Setta and Kato Setta. The fountain of Ano Setta, in the shade of the plane trees, with the breeze cooling the guests a beautiful celebration was set up. With dances and with songs from Evia, but also from Asia Minor, Kostis learns how inhabitants of this blessed place live, work and have fun. In its mountains, oregano, savoury and many other herbs and mushrooms grow. In this alpine landscape of fir and plane trees, the walk with the mountaineering club shows us this wild beauty. The beekeepers of the region are a vibrant and dynamic community, and some of them are also engaged in the collection of retinal. In the local tavern, Vangelio cooks for stew with mushrooms, while the ladies of the village have already prepared many local dishes to offer during celebration. But besides gastronomy, wildlife, its churches in Setta, Kostis is also enchanted by its open-air theatre, the life's work of Nikos Papakonstantinou, according to his son’s words. And finally, we meet the youngest breeder of Setta who takes out the herd for grazing and helps his grandfather in milking.
