Manolis Kostidis and Prime Time’s camera guide us to city city (See all the episode here). Starting from the Bosphorus, we know Greeks who have sought a new life there and over the years have become one with the 2,000 remaining Romans and we meet people who insist on keeping the Greek language, habits, customs, and especially the memory of their ancestors. We cross the bridges that unite the East with the West and sit on the desks alongside the younger members of the minority but also next to adult Turks who have chosen to learn Greek. We know the publishers of the two homogenous newspapers who record the history of a century, while learning why the Halki Theological School is so important and we hear the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew talking about the present and the future of the Orthodox craist.

Prime Time’s journey and the moving narratives of his protagonists give the answer to the question: Why, despite the decisive historical events, the city remains so intimate and attractive to all Greeks?

Mess

Hundreds of children and teachers are eating lunch daily at the church of the church. It is a place of everyday meeting. One of the important centers of Roma life.

“City society is a rich mosaic. We live not only in the community, in the Roman community, but also with our fellow citizens, the Turks, with foreign brothers” says the Metropolitan of the Forty Churches, Andreas.

The Greek language and tradition start at a young age, again next to the church.

The guide Lia Galitsi shows the beauties of the city daily to visitors, but most importantly explains their heavy history.

And as Manolis Kostidis was walking with Lia Galitsis, he met Angelos Syrigos in the Egyptian market.

The second homogeneous newspaper is “echo”. The publisher is Andreas Robopoulos, who inherited her from his father.
