In Naxos, Nikos meets the flamboyant local harbour master and a billionaire property tycoon with a magnificent cruiser.

Nikos meets Greece's billionaire shipowners who takes him to the island that he and other, often reclusive, ship owning families call home. From there, Nikos travels to Agathonisi.

Our host then arrives on the island of Fournoi, and is welcomed into an endearing fishing family. Nikos sees first-hand the results of overfishing in The Aegean.

Nikos hops on the spectacular Star Clipper square-rigger sailing cruise ship, visiting intriguing island of Patmos to learn about the inspiration many have sought from The Aegean.
