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.
Today:
"Zakynthos"
Episode 1
How does Greece play a pivotal role in the reproduction of the loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta)? And why did Giorgos Seferis intervene to have Andreas Kalvos buried in Zakynthos, so that today his grave lies next to Dionysios Solomos in the Solomos and Eminent Zakynthians Museum?
What is the most important exhibit in the museum?
How has the Zakynthos Philharmonic, with its centuries-old history dating back to 1816, continued to captivate children and young people?
What kind of musical evenings are held at the island’s historic hangout spot, accompanied by traditional meze?
And are there still women weaving textiles by hand?
Where is the area called "Anatinaxi" ("Explosion") and how did it get its name? And why is mountain biking in the island’s forests synonymous with the beauty of alternative tourism?
24 Hours in Greece explores Zakynthos—the homeland of poets—in an episode that has it all: culture and poetry, nature, music, and weaving traditions, and of course, action.
The show presents the modern face of the Fiore di Levante, while the stories of its people reveal their shared love for the “Flower of the East” of the Ionian Islands.
It all comes down to a desire for life itself—24 Hours in Greece, with visuals that awaken our wanderlust and our yearning for good company on the road.
