Weekly journalistic travel show produced by ERT3.

The show “24 Hours in Greece” is a “Journey into the lives of Others, the real people who live next to us, in the cities, villages and islands of Greece. Along with them, we discover a new world, each time, as we experience the beauty of each place, its incredible special character and diversity. In our travels, we meet Greeks and foreigners who live there and see life through their own eyes, discuss their joys, hopes and problems in this great adventure that we call Life and seek, with a wholly optimistic perspective, their answers to the challenges of the times.

24 Hours in Greece tours Xanthi, highlighting its best features: the picturesque Old Town that even captivated Theo Angelopoulos during the filming of The Travelling Players, the "Path of Life" with its legend of the lovestruck bird, and the house where Manos Hadjidakis was born and spent his childhood. The episode also visits the city’s “Little Paris”—its old tobacco warehouses.

From the house of Hadjidakis now repurposed into a creative arts hub, to the open-air concerts of the local choir, Xanthi breathes through its people—those who keep its spirit alive today.

The show meets a shadow artist who finds meaning in the invisible dimensions of materials, and a Pomak producer in the bustling marketplace, where color, life, and multiculturalism collide.

Naturally, the episode includes a segment on sports and the city’s vibrant youth.

24 Hours in Greece — people whose stories spark curiosity because they radiate courage, energy, and joy.
