“At 6 in the morning our week began. We departed from our base in Athens to Evritania, one of the most beautiful and uninfected areas of the country with all the meaning of the word.

The bad road network or unemployment and the population escape for decades have brought it to be one of the poorest and most sparsely populated in the country.

Our studio was set up on the big village on the first day.

There, in the small square, the Karpenissioti River Gorge was spread in front of us in a lush landscape.
It is on the eve of March 25th and the villages were filled with travelers from every corner of Greece.

In cafes and taverns you did not find literally table, local food but also sweets were released, thus giving a tonic injection to businesses in the area.

Because for some residents here the establishment in Evritania was a life choice.

They made the big decision to leave the bustling city and open small businesses in their villages.

Like the wide, a social cooperative business that offers from spoon sweets to liqueurs and spices.

But also the choice of a young man, Panagiotis Makris, to become a captain and a guide to the largest artificial lake in the country, Lake Kremaston.

A piece of tourism that is unused in the area and hopes to develop it and stay permanently in its place.

After tasting Mr. Karveli’s wonderful and warm lactoburero, we returned to Karpenissi for rest.

Here at 1100 meters sleep is lighter and it takes a few hours to fill your batteries.

Where there is Greece

He dawned on March 25th of the National Feast, but also of the Annunciation. Karpenissi, like all of Greece, wore festive and blue whites. The young pupils proudly marched in Karpenissi.

A special moment was the links of the broadcast with the heroic fishermen where during the revolution there was one of the darkest pages of the history of the revolution, with the slaughter of thousands of the Ottomans, as well as in Chios.

The pupils of Psara and our expatriates who participated in the events in Mytilene sent messages of national upheaval and moved us.

We went down to Prousos and the Monastery of Our Lady of Prousiotissa where the miraculous icon of the 9th century AD is located.
moved there by Bursa at the time of Iconoclasm in Byzantium.

Around the monastery in a stunning landscape we got to know the activities that a visitor and lover of Extreme Sports can do.
From rafting and hiking in the canyon, to boom touring through dirt roads and ravines.

But everyday life is not easy in this corner of Greece. So our show presented the serious deficiencies in the field of care.
At the Karpenisi Hospital, but also at the Multipurpose Regional Medical Center in West Frangista where only 4 are covered by the 22 doctors!

On our third day we found ourselves in Agrafa.

A municipality that can take up to 3.5 hours from one end to one end! In a difficult and sometimes very bad road network. Arriving in Granitsa, we stayed with our mouths open, reaching the village’s balcony, the monk of the monk. An alpine landscape that fascinates you. This place has been chosen by new families to set up their home despite their difficulties and isolation.

The Municipality of Agrafa in a family support move doubled the allowance for each child from 1500 to 3000 euros. But mothers are still waiting for the addition of how much the Court of Auditors blocked payments until it was regulated, as the mayor’s movement was considered illegal! But in a municipality that struggles to reverse desertification there is no time to lose.

Hopegenesis, a non -profit organization that covers the care and exams of a pregnant woman up to childbirth, offers great help. Also promising is the teleiatric program of the University of West Attica, which will start in a few days and will be the pilot for other areas of the country.

An optimistic message also sends an 8 -member family to the village of Fourna, who returned from abroad, accepting the invitation of the priest and teacher of the area. They found them a job and a roof, so the elementary school saw its students grow. In neighboring and beautiful Valaora, however, this year in kindergarten is only one child.

While a little further north, the few elementary school students travel a distance of 1.5 hours through a dangerous and dirt road to go to a school in Raptopoulos from Vragiana Karditsa, decades now remains the same and now the people are hoping that something will finally happen.

After tasting the local delicacies in the hospitable Agrafa, we departed for Karditsa crossing the same road as the students from the Vragiana and we understood what they are experiencing every day!

Where there is Greece

The studio was set up in the city of Karditsa the next day in Pausilypon Park.

We hosted the inhabitants of the villages who sank to Daniel and who mourned their compatriots. We have recorded their concerns the impasses that remain both for the repair of the losses and the delays in the payment of rentals.

Eleni Tahiopoulou’s daughter of Konstantinos Tahiopoulos of the resident in Metamorfosi was also with them who saved 17 his shorts with his boat.

But Karditsa is both the capital of the bike and the walk! Little and older athletes talked about their dreams but also because Karditsa comes out.

Where there is Greece

Last day we moved to the beautiful Lake Plastira.

With the signs of falling the level, the lake remains one of the main sources of water supply and irrigation of Karditsa. Something that many are afraid of changing dramatically if no measures are taken. This was also told one of the last fishermen of the lake that is worried about the future. The level is constantly diminished, he said, there is no son, the fish are diminishing and their state is constantly turning their backs.

The farmers in the area also asked for support to stay in their place and implement the promises to strengthen their crops as well as the construction of the dams.

In the municipality, however, as Mayor Panagiotis Nanos informed us, there is also a program- invitation to young couples to settle in the villages of the area offering work and roof.

Lake Plastira is an ideal place for escapes and activities around it, such as the hydrophillosis ride.

At the end of the show we went up to two of them and said goodbye to the viewers at sea! “

On Monday the show gives us an appointment to Grevena.
