Chios

In the final episode of her Greek odyssey Julia reaches her ultimate destination - the island of Chios - where her family’s story began. This week she’s joined by her mother Chrissi and together they explore the home of their ancestors. In search of the fascinating history of mastica, a natural resin only found on Chios, they visit a farm to find out how this mystical and miraculous tree sap has been harvested for thousands of years. In the perfectly preserved medieval fortified village of Mesta, one of the architectural wonders of Chios, they have a masterclass in traditional dance. After following in the footsteps of legendary Greek poet Homer, who is reputed to have been born on the island, their trip comes to an emotional end when they track down the house where Julia’s great-grandparents lived.
