Nikos meets one of 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 and goes on patrol with the Hellenic Coast Guard to intercept asylum seeker boats. Next, under the guidance of a seasoned skipper, Nikos learns to sail a 50ft yacht, visiting secluded islands and encountering the most entertaining characters. He travels to Kalymnos and meets the island’s famous sponge divers, learning about their perilous trade. To travel back to the mainland, Nikos hops on the spectacular Star Clipper square-rigger sailing cruise ship, visiting the intriguing island of Patmos to learn about the inspiration many have sought from The Aegean. When our host finally arrives back in Athens, he reflects on his journey at the awe-inspiring Temple of Poseidon with his mentor Captain Makis.
