The Greek Islands with Julia Bradbury - Season 1

In the first episode of the series, presenter Julia Bradbury visits the picturesque, rustic and rugged island of Crete, exploring the Dikti mountains and its plateau of windmills. She also visits an island that used to be a leper colony.

Julia visits the lush Ionian island of Corfu, often called the least Greek of all the Greek islands. She discovers a little slice of Italy, and samples the delights of its cuisine.

Julia's journey brings her to the glamorous island of Santorini, where she discovers how one of the Aegean's poorest islands became a playground for the rich and famous.

Julia's journey reaches The Sporades, best known to millions as the backdrop of the movie Mamma Mia. She explores a secret world of hidden coves and samples sea urchins, which have been hand-dived from the island’s crystal clear waters.

Julia arrives in the Dodecanese, a far-flung group of islands at the gateway between Europe and the East where she visits the medieval capital of Rhodes.

In the final episode of the series Julia Bradbury reaches her ultimate destination, the island of Chios, where her family's story began. She's joined by her mother Chrissi and together, they explore the home of their ancestors.
