or then it's time to go exploring the deckles trauma. i personally where europe, africa, and asia converge. its position in the eastern mediterranean has influenced the islands history since ancient times. ringback in 1974, the independent states was divided. the south became a republic led by greek cypriots. while the north was occupied by turkey shopped is mike, i found this magazine has well come on about foot, a great way to start my trip. this young a blood leafing through it. i found this article on left terrorists and christina, they had this great idea of creating a new wine from an old, great variety. it's as we to sugar. i meeting them both later. and when i came down, we set off down a very winding road leading into the heart of the island. the climate here is ideal for wine growing left terrace, more he and marcus is a vintner,

and lives off the beaten path with his wife, christina, and their 2 children tucked away here in the true dost mountain they're making their dreams come true. no, honey. hello. oh, hello, looking for you. yes. oh, next heard of sweet story. i'm you for your story. and what is their sweet story? the greek cypriot couple produces a dessert wine based on what just might be the oldest wine in the world, nama, and its successes. i was making wine always of southern grace. i've been working several, linus and gruesome zealand, argentina, and south africa when i came in. so bruce, i've noticed on them cut, they're moved with his mom barrier. i'm actually from cyprus, i studied abroad and lived and worked abroad for quite some time. and i, when i met life, that is it everything just kind of made sense and everything kind of fell into place. and because we had so many common interests,

and especially when it came to work, and that was to create something of our own that had our own identity. christina and left headed live and work by the motto, quality, before quantity. and they're, a nama concept, is paying off, produced with traditional methods and in small batches, this mind has been sweeping up awards. i says, are relatively new. why only 5 years old, for us as a, maybe you can see other movies the from the color. it will be after another 5 years. it will stay in the laurel with dark cala hill. wow. oh, very intense sir. a young, very young but totally different to the one that it will be is the same thing with an architecture that he sees ah, half builded building. we cannot understand what you will become just by looking. and this is a good part of being one major. you have

a reason to toast is so sweet and i taste honey 1st before the way worse on drying the groves is megan. it's still gentle and would not have dominant. or almost we'll have a complexity. who is you make a quick sun drying process. here you destroy the r o mother complexity of the wine . you work together ether capital. as a careful, however, i lending cuz they release at a very fun i. it took us quite a good few years to actually separate um ah, our duties within, within the company within the brian and kind of said, right, okay, this is where your bossa mrs. where i am bossy. christina, i trained goldsmith and left terrorist and acknowledges founded their company in 2009, and they don't only care about their wine. but also the packaging. this is my workshop, my design room, where we make, or all of the song,

one of the labels and where i do a lot of the design work. okay. it was most of it actually goes on in here. and when the wine actually starts being produced, we have 4 products at the moment and every product has a different label. all of our potholes are numbered. it says here are bottom number $282.00 of the total of a $1678.00. so that's how we number bottles on selling silver button. we have the lever that goes on the top. that works as a seal, who am obviously for sustainable reasons. we didn't want to use a plastic. so i sat here with my, with my lead leather and my throat for many, many hours a day i trying to figure out a way to am to securely keep her qualcomm with yeah, every single. but every single thought. all the grapes are dried on the vine for up to 60 days before harvesting, so they're already extremely sweet. sunlight might be vital for grapes, but i prefer the shade. oh, it's very,

very hot outside. don't understand how you can work here live here and a little very hot from every day i. this is the reality. we live in the fields. we work in the field. when may, where i'll shoot and go to presentations, some big events, but it's not exactly where we are we, a lot of people offer all on there. the biggest percentage. so for the qualities made by nature who and the rest is a shame on thoughts a time to leave the mountains and head to the coast. cypress is the 3rd largest island in the mediterranean after sicily and sardinia. my next istation is ion napa, a beautiful little result with the european union eastern most port. i'm meeting dr. louis had you on and the marine biologist is tracking a new intruder in these waters. climate change has made the mediterranean into an attractive living space. hello

unchecked with each female laying up to $2000000.00 eggs per year with are you doing another we at the moment where these died of we just did. we are trying to understand the behavioral life trying to figure out how we behave out is on the other fish. are you actually to strive may be life? well, it's kind of late with i with if it were up to do with these non native fish would be caught and sold to eat. all

pack them enough so that the play that comes out. okay, so now we want to make sure i've baked these in the oven in white wine and olive oil. so now what you want to do is just cover them. ok. i love to be here because the so i was was we do is to have to come which is that but my love, this is what i'm like because you know each one of us feel that our mothers and food is the best and our grandmother's food is the best, but it's not particularly that it's a culinary a delight, but it tastes magnificent to you because it's from the hands of the person, the gloves you doesn't, this are tasty. so look how beautifully with her mouth. ok. oh, oh. oh. if they were interested because i

site press is closer to asia, but politically, and culturally it's part of europe. ah ah, the division of the islands between the republic of site pressed in the south and the turkish controlled north in 1974 lead to the creation of a demilitarized buffer zone, guarded by un peacekeeping forces. this so called green line separates the 2 sides. it's not any dotted with ghost towns. this bitterly contested demarcation line also cuts straight through the capital nika, thea. here in no man's land is where i'm going to meet marius antonio. he's part of the organisation cyclists across barriers

switch off his unique bike to us that crossed the divide while renault here, where they leave at our pilot buffer zone, about to head north in the thirty's occupied area. and this was always throughout the years of this hope was division. there are a checkpoint of remained open after presenting our passports at the check point, no malice, he quickly kicks in. again, things are a little different here though. the majority of people hear a muslim not christian, they speak turkish, no greek. they carry different ideas and have a different government. so this warfare, amelia porter over here and all these lyrical houses look at this when we're here. it's like a russian fire. you a little bit, these were the prime properties or for the more affluent the armenian, if you pull of a community over here. so

then across here must that plan which primarily used usaid funds are fixed monuments, but so hey streets. but they always only fix the facade of the building. most of the buildings in the street are upkeep, but many of them have never seen any renovations, even on the facade since the early 2, thousands, or when the anacostia master plan fixed up to police area. maybe when we are come back again. i suspect that this one will have collapsed. okay. we have to look at another way to get there. there are many beautiful building. busy oh, let's go with

to the left, we have the armenian church and straightforward. we have her the catholic church, the catholic church. the entrance is in fact on the other side of the buffer zone. now we will head back to go see one of the mosques of the song of makia next election. okay. okay. ah ah. * have you see a more good was billed as a mosque? no. well, my thing is because when the ottoman entered into the coffee or when the concrete cypress, they turned all catholic churches,

all the time came to mosques. therefore we have more right over here that look like cathedral through so we have here a classic the mosque with one main dome in 4 half dawn around it. and then 3 doors in the front. he was see how elaborate the work on the line stone on the nina is. it is really for tackler. ah, ah, ah, an eventful day on site, chris straws to a close to morrow i'm heading to the beach. cypress boasts $300.00 days of sunny year. an average temperature of 20 degrees celsius. countless cultural treasures and 620 kilometers of beach, is attract tourists from around the world. in 20142400000 visitors came here

by 2019. that number had reached 4000000 but more tourists. so, so means more plastic waste the conservation organization at d is battling against the growing problem of trash on the beaches and its impact on the environment. one way they do this is by raising awareness that schools during the summer school, kids on site press, carry out speech cleanup. every year we do, on the 4th of business on cyprus, we are trying to encourage and pitts quoted them to actually see the problem with their hands on experience for them. they see what's the problem and for these experiences give more than just in the class telling them okay, isn't it draws

plastic on metal navy because they're too lazy to walk, you get a walk back. oh. 6 i me, dear daughter from the organization for a stroll along the beach. oh you it's missing. i believe you, joe. we take a little walk. it has his points out one company in particular. it's difficult to spot because it's barely visible amongst the sounds.

very rarely letter how can you see it over there? they're always at the beginning of the course etc. would have the that's a bug with michael last year. like you're so me over there and yeah, it never, it never by the good. so it's always in the environment, become smaller and was one a month, was difficult to connect future they conclusively food, and then they start eating. it was the problem with those of this. they start feeling they and they come out the ac cindy via the plumbing top. do you have some cooperation with the region? yeah, yes. i mean, we have martin luther cyprus and in this project, which is a by coming in on the one where trying to use modern live, there was a problem we held border essay based building to bring that to community

or together. very simple and different exhibit at least when it comes to cleaning up trash, the north and the south. i mean agreement. ah, i mentioned i last some incredible people here with great ideas. great ideas for preserving cultural heritage while bringing it into the here and now i'm looking forward to the next leg of the journey. but now i'm off to enjoy the coast of cyprus a little bit longer. we'll see you soon. bye. ah
