New TV programme about Greece

[Allan]

I've enjoyed Simon Reeve's programmes on the BBC in the past so I'm really looking forward to this short series about Greece starting on Sunday 7th February at 8pm on BBC2

I don't know if Symi is featured in the programme or not but judging by the interview in the Telegraph Simon has something of a soft spot for the place:

You could do worse on Planet Earth than be born Greek. It is a magnificent place with good food, a wonderful climate and a close sense of community. It was my wife, Anya, who introduced me to the country. She has been going since she was a teenager – to an island called Symi, just north of Rhodes. We go there fairly regularly, once every two years. Arriving on the ferry is a thrill. You come into this glorious harbour, framed by neoclassical buildings. There is a local rule that states that all the buildings have to be neoclassical. It looks incredible: the finest harbour in Greece, maybe the Mediterranean.

Thanks for the tip off Alan, I will set the series to record

Clearly Allan, Simon Reeve is a man of impeccable taste in his travel destination and of considerable insight into the wonderful culture of the Greeks.

We will be glued.
