Aerial Greece - Season 1 episodes (4)

1 The Great Archipelago
3/7/21
Take flight over the great archipelago of the Aegean Sea-the Cyclades-and take in a world of extraordinary history and ancient myth. Here, nestled in stunning natural landscapes are the citadels of ancient civilizations and early Christian churches, perched as close to Heaven as the Earth will allow. Join a one-of-a-kind tour as we visit the tourist hotspots of Mykonos and Santorini and the hidden grandeur of Naxos and Amorgos, all presented from awe-inspiring heights. Then meet the fascinating people who call these stunning islands home.
2 The South
3/14/21
The story of Western civilization began in Greece, and it was in the South where the first chapter of that story was written. This soaring tour explores lands of ancient warriors, tumultuous battles, and diverse cultures, from the Peloponnese, home of the first Olympic Games, to Athens, where art and politics intertwine, to Cephalonia, an idyllic island with a dark past. In southern Greece, the glories of the past are mirrored in the wonders of the present, and we capture it all from spectacular heights.
3 Crete & the Eastern Islands
3/21/21
At the southern and eastern fringes of the Aegean Sea lie some of Greece's largest islands, places of mesmerizing beauty and priceless heritage. From Crete, the home of ancient palaces and the sinister legend of the Minotaur, to the Dodecanese, home of the most diverse and cosmopolitan places in all of Greece, to Samos and Chios, which guard the approaches to Turkey's western coast, we explore the distinct cultures and unique stories of these islands from spectacular heights, and meet the people who work and live here.
4 The North
3/28/21
Northern Greece is a land of mystery, replete with enchanting villages, hidden valleys, and mountaintop lakes where dragons roam. It's the region where Julius Caesar's assassin sought refuge and the god Zeus hurled thunderbolts. Join us on a soaring journey over the unrivaled natural beauty and pulsating culture of northern Greece and meet its fascinating people, from a winemaker who rescued a long-forgotten Greek wine to farmers who have mastered the treacherous roads of the Pindus Mountains to an aerial performer who literally dances on air.

The date assigned to the Battle of Thermopylae is wrong. It was after the Battle of Marathon, so it could not have been a source of inspiration as stated.
