Greece's Borderlands (Episode #102H)
KQED Life: Sat, Apr 6, 2013 -- 2:47 AM
Joanna travels across the northernmost regions of Greece, from the western Ionian island of Corfu to the turbulent eastern border it shares with Turkey and Bulgaria. It's a frontier-land where foreign invasion and occupation have left a fascinating legacy. Crossing to the mainland, she retraces the steps of Lord Byron's inspirational journey through the western highlands by horseback. On this journey, one place above all reveals more about this country's turbulent history than any other. The port city of Kavala was subjected to a religious exchange of peoples. It was emptied of Muslims and the population replaced with immigrants from Turkey. 400,000 Greek Muslims left the region and one million Turkish Christians took their place. She meets one of the last known survivors, Minas Zaxariadis who reveals a dark secret.
The Land of the Ancient Greeks (Episode #101H)
KQED Life: Sat, Apr 6, 2013 -- 2:00 AM
Joanna begins her Greek odyssey at the Parthenon in Athens, which was built by the ancient Greeks 2,500 years ago. From here Joanna travels around the southern regions from Athens to the Peloponnese, visiting spectacular mythical and historic sites. Joanna's route takes her off the tourist trail to places where ancient myths and cultures live on. Joanna also takes part in a Bouzoukia, a hugely popular singing club where the audience spends a fortune on flowers that they throw in appreciation: a modern twist on an old tradition. And finally Joanna meets noted Greek singer, Nana Mouskouri, at Epidavrus, one of the best surviving amphitheaters, where, in order to demonstrate the perfect acoustics, Nana gives a rare solo performance to Joanna and a group of astonished tourists.
