The Greek islands – Crystal clear water and a paradise for foodies | DW Documentary

by



The island world of the Aegean Sea is both fascinating and incredibly diverse. Each island has its own charm and character. The film travels to the Greek Cyclades island group and visits five islands. Along the way, viewers meet people whose love for their islands is tangible.

Ikaria, in the north-eastern Aegean, is known as the island of 100-year-olds. It’s one of the world’s five “Blue Zones”, where people live to an exceptionally old age. Sifnos is the foodie island. Greece’s most famous cook and cookbook author, Nikolaos Tselementes, was born here on this western Cyclades island and it’s no accident that it’s a place where food is important — on Sifnos, traditional Greek cuisine is interpreted in a modern way. Kimolos is a small island that’s also home to the 95-year-old captain Augusti Galanos. He’s the archipelago’s most famous resident. Polyegos, with its wild goats, who all have names, is the largest uninhabited island in the Aegean. And Mykonos, the jet-set island that everyone knows, still holds plenty of surprises.

  13. We're a BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY who has a neighbour that's a " piranha " Turkey neither respects our air or territorial space, continually violating both. We have to spend a great part of our budget on DEFENCE. They still occupy a part of CYPRESS, something everyone seems to have forgotten elsewhere.

  23. Beautiful documentary. It only scratched the surface and there are so many many other great unknown places to explore.
    Many pay hundreds for fine dining at a fine restaurant. Go to any Greek garden ,pick a tomato and eat it. Heaven !!!

  27. I was born in Crete, I never appreciated how lucky i was, to grow up on such a beautifully abundant island, away from capitalism, negativity and consumerism.
    That’s changed since living in Berlin/Amsterdam, but I always come back to Crete over the summers, it’s a breath of fresh air for me, to be around real, expressive, alive individuals.
    All the Greek islands are magical, truly blessed to have such islands exist on Earth, naturally im bias (for good reason) ❤❤
