treasury—writing histories there. and nick's in istanbul, testing his artistic skills. 0h oh they're idiots. ——oh there it is. oh, we need lips. the island of evia, the second—largest island in greece after crete, famed for its mountaintops, blue seas and glorious sunshine. but in the summer of 2021, that idyllic picture was turned on its head.

last year in early august, temperatures were hitting over 47 celsius in greece. the forest became a tinderbox and evia burned for over ten days. many scientists say that climate change makes events like this more likely. been sent some pictures of the place that we are on our way to right now and looks lovely. looks really lush and green and fertile. but i've been told, since the fires that have hit this whole area, it now looks very different. even looking out the window, look at that! just as far as the eye can see, all you can —

all you are looking at is burnt trees. it's really sad. these people work for trekking hellas in evia. they used to take tourists on hikes through these once—stunning forests. it looks like our path is blocked. i don't think we've got anymore routes. that is astonishing. i remember seeing it from the television, from the news. i remember it on tv. i felt it was fake news. i couldn't realise this is really happening. i was thinking it can't be true. how much of this area was damaged by the fire? well, in numbers, it was half a million hectares. you can consider it as even bigger than the city of athens.

so an area larger than the city of athens? yes. even teams of firefighters from other countries had to come here to support us, bringing planes, helicopters, trucks, in order to try to stop the fire. my next stop on the island is an animal sanctuary. before the fires it was home to horses and donkeys. children could visit for riding lessons. something so exhilarating and majestic about watching horses run. i had a chance to see the extent of the damage the fires have had on the land here in this area. but now i want to see what sort of impact it's had

on the lives around here. this what was like before fire? it was a paradise. it was calm. it was a forest, it used to be a forest, with so many trees, green. i can see in your eyes how emotional it is and it must have been a really difficult time. what was it like when the fires were raging here and what did you do? we knew the other villages was completely burnt, so we just say, we look at the place for the last time and we went. we go. i was thinking, i am gonna get out alive, because everyone was leaving my car and we were on foot with six horses and two donkeys. as the fires raged through the night, the animals broke loose and ran away. we lost them.

you lost them? yes, because we were just four people, us two and two friends that came for help, and the others escaped. when it was finally safe to come back, it was with a heavy heart. it was really difficult to come inside this place because all the trees was burnt and down. so there was no entrance, nothing. but they were here, all together. they went away to survive from the fire and then they came back here and theyjust... waiting. when you are so unhappy, suddenly you are happy. so they are, like, we are alive. out on a fishing boat, the scars of the fires

are evident from the sea. apparently, in this area, there was a fire here in 2016. but you can see the difference and the recovery because it is green and lush compared to back there were the fire hit only last year. and just with your foot, it's your own style, yes? yes! hands—free. although the forest trails are slowly opening up again, something new that's been developed is fishing tourism. the hope is it will entice visitors back to the island. look at these fish! at the start, it was very difficult for us because they learned to be alone in the sea, fighting with the sea, but after some people started it, it was more easier to see the profit of this project.

the more tourists they carry, the fewer fish they have to catch to earn a living. every day a fisherman do fishing tourism in greece, that's better for the environment. i've been really impressed by the resilience of everyone i've met here and their determination to see the place that they love thrive again, in a more sustainable way, using many of the lessons that have been learnt from those devastating fires one year ago. let's hope that happens. if you're planning to head to greece this year, here is a travel show guide of some things to maybe look out for. in autumn, the ferocity of peak season is over. but the greek waters are still lovely and warm. if you are a snorkeller, try the protected zakynthos marine park, famous for its dense population

of loggerhead turtles, so there is a good chance you'll see one. while we are in the sea, greece's first underwater museum's worth a mention. you'll find it on the island of alonissos, which you can get to by ferry from evia. it's an ancient merchant shipwreck dating back to around 420 bc, and until last year, off limits to recreational divers. finally, autumn means harvest time. and it's a big deal in greece. do a vineyard or olive oil tour somewhere like crete or something more niche — you could try the pistachio festival on aegina in mid—september. it's only a llo—minute ferry ride from athens. right. stick with us because, coming up, the ancient treasures rewriting danish history. ole sent me some pictures and i was like, "whoa,"

when i saw it. and nick is getting arty in istanbul. it's coming to life in a quite creepy fashion! like, ifeel like i've made an actual person now. so see you after the break. i am in this town of odipsus in greece and i was a bit worried because i thought the travel show set me up because that water looks freezing cold. i've been told that these are hot springs which have been here for thousands of years. they've been visited by roman emperors, hollywood superstars and now an east london geezer. savage! oh, man! this isjust gorgeous. now, there is a lot of history

to these pools because, legend has it, that goddess athena created these springs for her favourite hero, hercules, so he could come here and kick back and heal himself after his herculean tasks. i think it's quite fitting for someone like me. now, they say that the minerals in these baths have got healing properties. but the best thing is, they're free. we will see what this one is like. this looks super hot! 0h! get over. it doesn't feel that bad. 0h! that's so hot! i could put a teabag in here and make a proper cuppa! i'm not getting in there. i think i'd boil my own chestnuts. not happening. this is more my temperature.

from greek mythology to norse history, where a chance discovery of an ancient treasure trove of gold has caused much excitement. hidden for almost 1,500 years in the danish village of vindelev, researchers say this could rewrite their country's history. ole sent me a text, and he sent me some pictures, and i was like, "whoa," when i saw it. this find opens the door to an enigmatic world of persons of mythologies, of religion, that we really only know a little slice of. my name is ole ginnerup schytz. for my 60 years birthday, | my father—in—law gave me this metal detector. you can't be a more - new beginner than i was.

one day i was contacted by my old schoolmate, ole, who asked if he could take a walk with this metal detector. we started at the corner. of the field there and found a lot of the usual old nails and screws and scrap items and after 30 minutes, the detector gave us a very, very clear signal. i thought, this is worth digging for. i dug a hole and up come this yellow thing, filled up with mud and dirty, and i put it in my bag here with scrap iron because i thought it was a lid from food can. the minute i put the detector to the surface again, i got exactly the same signal. and up came the second gold item. when we looked more carefully, we can see it has inscriptions, and when we found the third item, we saw clearly the face of a roman emperor.

and by that time, we knew this is most probably gold. ole sent me a text and he sent me some pictures and i wasjust like, whoa, when i saw it. immediately, i took pictures of it and i sent it to my colleagues at the national museum, where we have these experts in all these areas. and from their reaction, i could see that we had stumbled on something extraordinary. there are some roman medallions, they are actually from the fourth century. and then there are the golden bracteates and also part of a sword. the treasure belongs to the sixth century and then the viking age starts in the eighth century. my first reaction when i heard about this was almost that i fell off the chair. when we start looking at the details of the pictures and the runes, i realised that this is a very unique find.

the most rare inscription on this find is the one where the god odin is probably mentioned. that would be, to my knowledge, the first time you ever had that. odin is the supreme god of the vikings. here we have something new also in terms of religion, the old norse religion, because we know only that from the writings of scriptures from the 13th century, and here we are starting to push it further back in time, even more than four or 500 years. this is still a work in progress and we have hardly dusted off the dirt. now vindelev, here, is some kind of a central power place, there is no question about it. it has never been on a map before, we always thought of an early iron age rich centre some 100 kilometres to the east. so was this the centre? and the other place

a periphery? we have to go in and rethink the whole period here and the whole formation of the danish kingdoms. i am very overwhelmed. i still don't understand the unpredictable and i unforeseen luck that hit me. it is qualitatively a very, very important find because of the iconography and the runes. it is one of the most important gold finds we have had in this century. now to istanbul, where the ancient city is celebrating its arts and cultural riches, and looking to reposition itself as a global hotspot. we sent nick kwek to check out the creatives and creations being thrust centrestage.

busy, beautiful and vibra nt. it is easy to see why napoleon once said, if the world was one country, istanbul would be its capital. this transcontinental jobless is a bustling melting pot, an amalgamation of influences old and new. but despite its appeal, istanbul has been going through some tough times recently. the turkish economy has taken a hit, meaning the value of the lira here has dropped by about 20%. while that is not great for many locals, it means that your money will definitely go a lot further if you are visiting from abroad. but throughout the ups and downs, as empires have come and gone, some things have stood the test of time. built in 1348, the famous galata tower has been used as a prison and fire watchtower over the centuries. legend has it that back in around 1630, scientist hezarfan celebi famously

took off from the tower here and landed safely on the other side of the bosphorus. while the facts around the story are disputed, historians think there was some sort of flight from the tower. intriguing. today, the 63 metre tall landmark is an exhibition space and museum and provides panoramic vistas which are not too shabby, especially at sunset. now, through its heritage and contemporary artistic pedigree, turkey is hoping to bring back visitors. it launched the beyoglu culture route which stretches four kilometres through the historic end of the city. there's been a good turnout, the queue is running around the corner. this is the start of the route, the ataturk cultural centre, also known as the akm.

that is a lot of flashing lights. rumi dreams is an audiovisual experience inspired by the works of celebrated 13th century islamic poet and mystic, mevlana rumi, in commemoration of the 750th anniversary of his death. this is just one of around 1,500 activities at the festival. also housed within the akm is a plethora of provocative materials ranging in materials and scale. all this art is making me want to get creative. and a few steps along the route i have the chance to, at free workshops like this, where visitors can sign up for some sculpting. oh, there it is. there it is. you need some lips. we need lips. that is probably critical. her name is emily, maybe. emily, oh?

it gave me a chance to hang out with istanbulites. it's coming to life in quite creepy fashion. ifeel like i have made an actual person now. look at that face! but what are the judges think? she says it's perfect. thank you. we all have work but with these activities we can have fun. make some new friends. actually after covid—19, it's a big relief for all people in istanbul. art certainly has a way of bringing people together. a short hop on the old tram takes you to pera, which this hotel was named after. opened in 1885 to accommodate passengers fresh off the orient express, the pera palace hotel is steeped in history.

the walls which agatha christie would write from. joining me for a cuppa is defne tulga, a local art buyer for turkey's megarich. we have great contempory art, we have beautiful museums, beautiful digital art. i mean, yeah, we're on track. where do you think that turkey and istanbul sit on the global art stage? we definitely need improvement and we need more young, creative souls who will lead us in the scene. i believe that. 500 metres away at the end of the festival route, the galataport has recently received a major overhaul. it's home to the sculpture and painting museum, and soon we'll see the much

anticipated reopening of istanbul museum of modern art. but whether or not all of this is enough to bring tourists back and make up for the millions lost as a result of covid, and now the ukraine war, we willjust have to wait and see. and with my trip drawing to a close, i have gotjust enough time to catch one of the evening's performances. applause well, that's it from us. coming up next week. there's another chance to join rajan in qatar to check out what football fans can expect at this year's fifa world cup. this is the perspective that players will have as they walk out onto the game for the first match of the tournament here at the al bayt stadium.

ok, pleasejoin us for that if you can. and also, you can check us out on social media, and let us know where you are heading to next time. in the meantime, from me, ade adepitan and the rest of the travel show team here in greece, it's bye—bye. hello there. saturday was a warm and humid day for many of us. in places, we got to see some sunshine. in other places, the humidity gave rise to a lot of cloud, mist and murk and some outbreaks of rain, and there's more cloud and rain in the forecast for sunday across some

parts of the uk. the sunniest conditions will be up to the north. the earlier satellite picture shows this pipeline of cloud, bringing some outbreaks of rain. we're starting sunday on a pretty soggy note across parts of wales, northern england, the north midlands, eastern england too. very little rain getting down into the south, but quite a cloudy, murky start to the day here. much of the rain will tend to peter out. still a few showers into the afternoon, but a bit more in the way of brightness developing, particularly in north wales and northern england. all the while, northern ireland and scotland will have the lion's share of the sunshine. always a bit more cloud for eastern scotland. cool and fresh here — 16 for aberdeen, 18 degrees from belfast. still quite warm down towards the south and the southeast. it's triathlon and pa ra—triathlon day at the commonwealth games. quite a lot of cloud, some spots of drizzle to start. should brighten up later on. and for the women's euro 2022 final at wembley, chance for a shower. i think, on balance, it should be dry, quite warm

and muggy for the kick—off. so, yes, we could just see the odd shower drifting across the southeast corner during sunday evening, but overnight, into the early parts of monday, we'll see largely clear skies overhead, light winds and, actually, particularly up toward the north, something quite cool and fresh. seven to start monday in glasgow. still 17 there in london, so still a bit of warmth clinging on in the south. monday getting off to a fine start in most places, with some spells of sunshine, but we see another area of cloud starting to push in from the west. that'll bring rain into northern ireland through the afternoon, perhaps fringing into parts of west wales and the far southwest of england. ahead of that, actually, another relatively warm day. 21 degrees for newcastle, 26 once again in london. as we move out of monday into tuesday, we see this area of low pressure bringing frontal systems and outbreaks of rain, but not much of that rain getting down into the south, where we really do need some. in fact, southern areas through tuesday are likely to be very warm indeed — 27, maybe 28 degrees — with the rain further north and west. it is then set to turn cooler

but drier for the end of the week.
