Peter will be in the west of Crete as he discovers some of the most beautiful beaches and ancient ruins. But first, he’s visiting a city he’s been coming to for many years, Chania.

Peter heads into the mountains, getting an education on the geological history of Crete, as well as hiking through the massive Samaria Gorge. He also visits some spectacular nearby islands.

Peter explores the caves of Matala and some of Crete's seaside cliffs, searching for the bearded vulture; he bumps into a local shepherd and learns about life in the mountains.

In this episode Peter will be spending a couple days exploring Agios Nicholaos and the region around it. He’ll be meeting with famed author Victoria Hislop and visiting the island of Spinalonga, the place where her best-selling book ‘The Island’ is centred on. Peter is also going to get a first-hand education about Crete’s agricultural history, and of course, Kyriako will be sharing one of his favourite local recipes. And to top things off, Peter is headed to a Cretan barbecue.

In this episode Peter is exploring one of Crete’s prettiest cities, Rethymno. From its Venetian fortifications and mix of architecture, to the awesome food and countless artisans practicing their craft in the beautiful medieval town, there are plenty of reasons why it’s a favourite with tourists. This is an old-world city, full of fascinating stories and wonderful characters.

These are Peter’s final days on Crete, which means there’s a lot to see and do before he’s back with the crew aboard Mia Zoi.

This episode of My Greek Odyssey will see Peter visiting three islands, each with their own unique stories. It all begins on Amorgos, a mountainous landmass that despite its pretty scenery, numerous beaches and quaint villages, is yet to have been overwhelmed by the forces of mass tourism. Of particular note is a spectacular monastery, unlike any other place of worship you’ll see. Peter will also be visiting the remote and sparsely inhabited islands of Levitha and Kinaros, where life is a complete contrast to that of the populous neighbouring landmasses.

This episode sees Peter returning to Amorgos, after spending a couple days exploring some of the nearby islands. He’s going to be visiting some of the best local eateries, spending plenty of time checking out the beaches, as well as digging a little deeper into the island’s history. Plus, Kyriako is going to reveal his famous paximadia recipe. From there, Peter is headed west to Ios, to begin telling the story of an island that’s known as a party place, but has so much more to it.

Last time Peter started exploring the island of Ios, and with so much to see and do, it’s only natural that he’s spending another few days here. This episode sees Peter going from the sea to the summit, as he visits ancient ruins from as far back as the bronze age, as well as visiting a traditional, family owned cheesery, that’s been in operation for several generations. From Ios, he’s then headed to Sikinos, an island that not many tourists know about, but once you see the place, you’ll be adding it to your list of must-see destinations.

In the final episode of the series, Peter will be finishing his time on Sikinos, an island few tourists have heard of. The last stop is a visit to one of the most remarkable monasteries in the Aegean, before upping anchor and heading west to Folegandros. It’s a bit like a smaller, quieter version of Santorini, with epic sunsets, beautiful architecture and more remote parts of the island that your average traveller never explores. We’ve saved some of the best bits of Greece for last, and can’t wait to show you!
