A journey of discovery begins. A journey to Pontos with Iro Saia. A journey not to Asia Minor, but to the Pontos within Greece. Exactly 100 years after their violent return, the Akrites, who prospered from 800 BC until 1922 AD in the areas surrounding the Black Sea, managed to maintain their historical identity and continue to be one of the most dynamic parts of Hellenism. We visit the places where they settled after their Uprooting, to shed light on the values that have kept this breed so special for 3,000 years. What are the elements that have imbued the soul of the Greeks of Pontos with such beauty and strength? What are the individual traits of this glorious Greek race?

We visit the monastery where one of the most recently proclaimed Saints of the Orthodox Church, Georgios Karslidis, once lived, the Monastery of the Ascension of the Savior in Sipsa, where we meet the Metropolitan of Drama, Pavlos, and the Abbess Porphyria. Next, we take part in a muhapet feast at the house/cottage industry Meligeysis, in Komina, Xanthi and, last but not least, the show visits one of the most modern monuments created to commemorate the uprooting in Nestos. There we meet a veteran wrestler, who emphasizes the great contribution of the Pontian people in international sports competitions.
