Greece with Simon Reeve — Season 1

Simon Reeve travels from the islands of the Aegean to Greece's capital, Athens. To learn more about Greece and the Greeks, he meets an extraordinary cast of characters from Greek history, from gun-toting priests to the last remaining sponge divers. Getting behind the picture postcard image of this beautiful country, he finds out how the Greeks are coming to terms with a seemingly endless crisis.

Simon travels to the more mountainous area of the country in the North. Here he meets a group of monks and some conservationists who are caring for an orphaned bear.
