[Bourdain]

People who come here,

stopping on Naxos,

are they island-hopping

or they coming,

is this the destination?

[Lambros] Well,

I mean, island-hopping

happens a lot

during the summer,

so you know, someone

who's arranged to have,

like, a two, three-week

vacation in Greece

will probably wanna visit,

like, at least

-two or three islands.

-[Bourdain] Uh-hmm.

So how many islands

in this island group?

-The Cyclades?

-[Bourdain] Cyclades.

[Lambros] There's about 15,

maybe more.

There's Andros, Tínos,

Mykonos, Syros,

Páros, Naxos.

Umm, Anti--

[Bourdain]

Tito and Jermaine.

[laughs]

And--a-and more.

[Bourdain]

Right. And the rest.

[Lambros]

And the rest, yes.

[Bourdain] Lot of history here

on the Greek Islands,

on Naxos in particular,

where Zeus himself

was said to live.

Where his son Dionysus

frolicked and presumably drank

and threw orgies and dropped E

and danced all night

to the B.C. version of EDM.

These days, you have to go over

to Mykonos for that.

Anyway, Lambros here

runs a bar in Athens,

but comes out here frequently

to get away from it all.

[Lambros] If you are a Greek,

you will definitely dig

boarding a boat and leaving

for the Cyclades, you know?

There is this air

of mysticism about them

like an arcane feeling

that definitely doesn't exist

in the other island

archipelagos in Greece.

-[Bourdain] Rakis?

-[Lambros] Rakis.

[Bourdain] A big glass

of raki on the rocks.

[Lambros] And a big glass

of raki on the rocks.

[Bourdain] Ah, jeez, that's a--

that's a little more than

I'd sort of--well,

I'll have a sip.

[speaks Greek]

Good morning.

[speaks Greek]

[chuckles]

[shudders]

[Lambros] Yeah,

it kind of puts the day

into perspective

when you start off

with a--with a drink.

[Bourdain sighs]

[bells chiming]

[birds calling]

[sniffs]

It's a perfect day

in the beach.

[Lambros]

It's a perfect day, yes.

[Bourdain] I like the wind

here. It actually--

it's one of the really cool

things about this island is--

it's that breeze,

you know, that always...

[Lambros]

It's like our main pastime;

talking about the wind.

Wind's coming.

The wind's leaving.

Which beach do you go to

when the wind

is coming from the north,

the south.

-[Bourdain] Really?

-[Lambros] Yes.

[Lambros] Most islands

wanna claim that

actually, like, oh, this is--

-Ulysses was from there.

-[Bourdain] Right.

[Lambros]

Or Homer was from there.

I--everyone wants to claim,

you know, a bit of fame

from the mythology

to their islands.

[Bourdain] I can tell you this.

Ulysses was kind of a dick.

I mean, he left his wife

alone for how long?

And how far

was he from home?

-He wasn't that far!

-He wasn't that far.

[Bourdain] I mean,

he was just dicking around

in the islands, you know.

He couldn't

go home and, you know,

throw the wife a quick one,

you know?

Before--and then he gets pissed

'cause she's gotta look

elsewhere?

[Lambros] He came up with

this unbelievable story.

-Yeah, "But, baby..."

-[Lambros] If you

think about it,

that's his, like,

he went back home and he said

"God, you won't believe

what happened to me."

[Bourdain]

"They were singing and they--

they lured the ship into

the rocks, and oh, my...

but they weren't hot,

though!

They were really ugly."

-I think you summed

him up perfectly.

[Bourdain]

There you go: "The Iliad."

[laughter]

[Bourdain] I see a lot

of empty villas,

like, a lot of half-finished

construction

[Lambros] Yeah, they all

stopped, like, a few years ago.

-Right.

-Money just ran out.

Right.

I don't wanna talk about

the financial crisis.

It's bumming me out.

-It's harshing my total buzz.

-[Lambros chuckles]

[Bourdian] The pressures

of the outside world,

I don't wanna

think about.

I'm on a Greek

island here.

It's a beautiful day.

I'm planning on passing out

at the beach, shortly.

You know,

maybe some watercolors.

Do a little cooking,

more napping,

eating, napping,

contemplate mysteries

of the universe

or nap, either one.

Or nap. Either--

[Bourdain]

Or eat cheese.

All of those

are honorable options.

I mean, that's a

vacation to me,

is staying put

and doing nothing.

[birds calling]

[bells ringing]

[ambient music playing]

[bell ringing]

[Bourdain] I wanted

to get away from it all.

Coast gently,

gently into another season

of television.

No sharp edges,

easy.

Late summer of 2015

in the Cyclades.

and it feels a million miles

from the Greece

you see in the headlines.

[Richard]

Greek banks have remained

closed for the entire week.

Now the depth

of their financial woes

is becoming painfully clear.

[woman on TV]

Athens has asked its people

whether they accept

stringent reforms

as part of the country's

second bailout.

[man on TV] 40,000 Greeks

have hit the streets.

[woman on TV]

The country could find itself

kicked out of the Euro.

[woman on TV]

Athens could be just words away

from financial disaster.

[Bourdain] That Greece,

they say, is teetering

on the edge

of an economic apocalypse.

Broke, imperil of being

foreclosed on

by the disdainful

European powers.

On top of that,

there's the refugee crisis.

Greece, probably

the least prepared,

least equipped to take in

thousands of refugees

from Syria, Afghanistan,

and elsewhere,

is being flooded

with desperate women,

children, men.

They wash up

on their shores alive...

[boy] Papa!

[Bourdain] And dead.

[man on TV] It's not just

a question of Greece--

[Bourdain]

And yet here on Naxos

one of thousands

of Greek Islands,

you could, for now,

if you chose to,

remain blissfully ignorant

of what's happening elsewhere.

Pretend that everywhere

is just like here,

beautiful, sleepy,

delicious food,

everything is just fine.

John Steinbeck said,

"Any man who pits

his intelligence

against a fish and loses

has it coming."

But the Greek fishing trade

didn't stand a chance

when hit with

the one-two punch--

first of diminishing

fish stocks,

then the financial crisis

and slacking demand.

[cat meows]

[sprightly music playing]

[Bourdain]

Is life good on Naxos

compared to the mainland?

If we go to Athens,

even for a day, we get sick.

-[Bourdain] Really?

-[Lambros] Yeah. I mean,

well if you come

from this island

with the fresh air, the sea.

[Bourdain] Right.

As soon as we set foot in

Athens, we take painkillers.

[Bourdain] Really?

This gentleman

is a fisherman.

[Lambros]

George is a fisherman.

His name is

Fearless George.

-[Bourdain] Fearless George?

-[Lambros] Yes, yes.

[Bourdain]

So as I understand it, in many,

if not all

of the Greek islands,

the government or the EU

is offering buyouts

to fishermen.

They're basically saying

"We'll pay you

to not fish?"

This is the worst thing that can

happen.

They are trying to destroy our

fishing industry in favor of the

imported one.

[Lambros] They're trying

to get the older,

domestic fishermen

out of the way

basically in order to--

-The little guys.

-Yeah, the little guys.

Basically,

the little guys.

In order to get

more commercial fishing

being imported

into the land.

Quite a few have sold out

their businesses, their boats,

and moved into,

like, tourism.

Instead of buying a boat, buying

a hotel,

we discussed that, nobody wanted

it.

There were opportunities,

but we love the sea.

[Bourdain]

Who [...] up here, I mean,

I mean as far

as the economic crisis?

I mean you've got the whole

EU crunching down

on poor Greece.

Greeks are being depicted

as basically lazy,

addicted to

social welfare--

what happened?

It's the scum that made things

like this.

[Lambros] I'm pretty sure

he means the politicians.

Exactly.

People are paying for it.

[Lambros] And the people--

and the people are paying

for the complete wrongdoings

of the politicians.

Those are the wrong impressions

foreigners have of us.

But don't you think there are

some Greeks like that?

Yes.

In the public sector, yes, there

are.

Because of political favors and

corruption.

But not the everyday citizen who

struggles to support his family.

So yeah, it's a shame, really.

You know,

we have the goods,

but living

on other people's money

for about 40 years was--

was good fun.

[Panos] The wreck

was a cargo ship,

and it crashed in the reef

of Amaras in 1982.

So it's 34 years

inside the water.

[Bourdain]

Diving in the Cyclades

is some of the best in the Med,

and I was told that

this wreck was filled

with stolen doubloons

and Nazi morphine.

Panos, my dive master,

has certainly

never heard these rumors.

No treasure down there?

Nothing sinister or untoward?

[Panos] Maybe there is inside,

on the--in the engine room.

I never get there,

so I don't know what is inside.

The rumor is that

they crashed it on purpose.

in order to take the insurance.

And so nobody was injured.

Everybody was safely

transferred

to the port of [indistinct]

That's a rumor of course, eh?

[dramatic music playing]

[Bourdain] How many times have

you been down to that wreck?

-Hundreds of times?

-[Bourdain] Hundreds of times.

And it never gets old.

You still have fun.

[Panos] Yeah.

Every time is special.

[Bourdain] The Greek Islands,

when compared

to the rest of the country,

are doing pretty well.

Tourism on Naxos, in fact,

is on an uptick.

I don't know what your family

told you when you said,

"You know,

I'm gonna go to Naxos

and I'm gonna run

a dive center."

I know my parents

would have said,

"You should do something

sensible with a future,

like banking."

[laughs]

[Bourdain]

As it turns out,

this was the sensible

career choice,

I guess, so cheers to that.

[man speaks Greek]

[Bourdain] Around 25% of the

nation are unemployed now.

They say that about

40% are living

close to the poverty line.

That's apparently the mainland.

And yet, tourism is stable

and maybe even growing.

[man]

Tourism is getting bigger

even though it's completely

opposite with the crisis.

[Bourdain] So people

are basically saying,

"Oh, you know,

financial crisis,

beautiful islands.

-Beautiful county."

[man] Yes.

"Now's the time to go

'cause we can get it

for cheap."

[Panos] Tourism is

the only thing, I believe,

that saved Greece.

Apart from this, every--

every other thing collapsed.

It's really beautiful.

[Bourdain] Medea,

Antigone, Helen of Troy,

Aphrodite, Demeter,

Greek women have always

been known for their beauty,

their fierceness,

their strength,

their willingness to fight

for what they believe in.

[women singing in Greek]

[Bourdain] And these ladies,

who call themselves

the "Stray Bitches"...

[barking and howling]

[Bourdain] These women are very

much part of that tradition.

When I mentioned that I was

drinking ouzo before,

-I kind of peep every one--

-[woman] There were reactions.

-There was a reaction.

-[muttering]

[laughter]

[woman] We prefer raki.

[woman] We prefer raki.

[woman] Yes, yes, raki.

[Bourdain] Okay,

so I'll be drinking raki

on the rocks.

[woman] Bravo.

[Bourdain]

"The Stray Bitches"--

who are "The Stray Bitches?"

[woman] Us.

What--what are...

[woman] It's a theatrical

musical group.

-[Bourdain] Uh-hmm.

-[woman] With political--whoa...

[laughter]

-With political...

-Issues.

Issues, yes!

And it speaks a lot about

what we live today

in Greece, in Athens.

[Bourdain] I've seen you

described as anarchist.

[woman] No, I don't like

stereotypes.

-[Bourdain] Right.

-I don't like characteristics.

Yes, of course,

I like very much

the anarchist's philosophy,

of course.

It speaks about

solidarity

and the common good,

because all over Greece

now is very hard.

[woman] During the '90s

it was all this wealth

and prosperity,

and we were all okay

with this,

but now it's time

to talk about politics

and make political

statements.

[Bourdain] A lot of the world--

Greece is being depicted

as Greeks got used to

not having to pay taxes.

[laughter]

[Bourdain] This is--

the stereotype is that you--

-[woman] This is a great it--

-[Bourdain] Is it true or not?

[woman] That's a very

nice strategy

to create a stereotype

of the people

-you want to exploit.

-[Bourdain] Right.

And say, "They're lazy.

They're terrible."

-[woman] It's propaganda.

-We can--let's [...] them.

[woman] From the moment

we built our state,

we built it on loans.

The great powers--

England,

France, Russia,

helped us to build

our state.

So we owe from this moment.

The truth is

that never this nation

take care of the citizens.

They didn't give back anything,

nothing to the people.

-So why to pay your taxes?

-[woman] Exactly.

-[woman] There's distrust.

-A basic distrust that people

are gonna spend

the money well.

[woman] It's not a like

mentality thing

-that comes from our genes--

-[Bourdain] Right.

---from ourselves.

We are not, like,

the lazy people.

[Bourdain] So what happens?

Should Greece be

in the EU?

Here, for the people

in Greece,

it is a feeling that,

"Oh, if we go out of the

European Union, we are lost."

We are, as people,

maybe ready to risk

to go to another direction,

because this direction

doesn't work for us.

[Bourdain] Nobody's

suggesting we return

to an agrarian wonderland.

"We're all gonna

farm together

and live

in a commune," right?

-No, why not, but--

-[Bourdain] You like this idea?

[woman] Yeah, why not?

[woman] Some of us will.

-Some of us...

-[Bourdain] If I put a yogurt

in the refrigerator

and I put my name

on it, "Tony,"

and somebody takes

a bite out of it,

I've got a problem.

-Really?

-[Bourdain] Yeah.

This is why I don't

live on a commune.

[laughter]

[woman] "Because someone

will take my yogurt!"

Yeah, but if you didn't

have the yogurt,

you would like to eat

from someone else's.

And I will!

Very different life here.

Yeah, you feel

Oh, thank you.

This village, what do the

Farm? Tourism? Both?

[Stefano] Yeah,

I guess a combination.

[Bourdain] I noticed a lot

-Ah.

-And madness.

-And madness.

I like about Greek mythology,

is that the gods

were all deeply flawed.

I mean, they had

some serious problems.

They were always, you know,

sleeping with humans.

They were jealous.

They'd get angry.

They weren't pure.

They weren't perfect.

There weren't divine.

They were--

[Lambros]

They're humans, yeah.

But every now and then

Dionysus would appear,

and, like, everyone said,

"Okay, [...] it.

a great time.

For example, in Naxos,

you can find

130,000 goats and lambs,

and also half

of the population

cultivating the land,

so they are farmers.

just a tourist economy,

you produce stuff here.

You grow things.

Tomatoes,potatoes, beans,

onions, peppers.

[Bourdain] Let me ask

a difficult question.

I'm not gonna ask you

this question

because you have

to be diplomatic

about difficult

questions like this.

I'm gonna guess

your father doesn't.

So who caused the Greek

financial crisis?

What happened here?

It all has to do with the

politicians. They were the ones

in charge.

They inflated the public debt,

issued loans without the proper

checks.

They did the whole thing.

We did not pay our taxes, you

might say,

but the taxation system was not

fair towards us.

He's not optimistic.

He says we have a--

Years, it's going to take years,

and we all need to change

our habits.

We need years,

and it's my opinion.

Yes, all of us paying our taxes

and the government to clean up

its house.

[Bourdain]

What does it mean to be Greek?

What are the characteristics

that all Greeks either do

or should aspire to?

She says, "Above all,

the family."

And religion, of course.

And patriotism, like all true

Greeks.

[Yannis]

This means Greek.

Greek remains here.

[Maria]

You are bound to the land.

-The land of your ancestors.

-[Bourdain] Uh-hmm.

[Bourdain] The farm itself,

how long has it been

-in the family?

-[Maria] This was

bought by my--

the grandfather of my father

in 1901.

Back when he bought the land it

was profitable,

because it grew fruit when the

rest of Greece didn't.

So with this farm, your granddad

was able to have a decent

income.

For us in the family,

it's a very special place,

and especially for me,

and I believe

for my father.

It has a special vibe.

There's...

a good energy,

this land.

find myself on a fishing boat,

ruminating on matters

Maybe--maybe a couple

This one is monkfish soup. It's

Beautiful.

All the fish he catches,

it's sold on the island or--

professional-quality stuff.

He doesn't look like he's

enjoying his soup.

[Lambros]

You need to eat more.

[Bourdain]

Ah, the broth is fantastic.

Mmm.

[Lambros] Yamas.

[George] Yamas.

[Lambros] Yamas.

[Bourdain] Thank you.

[Niko speaks Greek]

All of our kids are into

fishing.

One is on that boat, the other

one that one, me and Nikos on

this one.

I liked it as my dad did and

chose to do it, too.

[Lambros]

He liked his dad doing it

and he likes to do it himself.

And how do you meet

women on the sea?

[Lambros] I was gonna ask.

[laughs]

Where there's a will, there's

a way.

[Lambros] Where there's a will

there's a way, he says.

Since they started walking and

understanding some things,

I used to take them to

the whores.

Find all the sluts of the bar,

and have them rubbing all over

them.

[Lambros] Okay, this is gonna--

just gonna be

a great pleasure to translate.

Okay. He said

when they were, like,

at the right age,

I'm guessing something

like 14 maybe.

-Uh-huh?. .

-[Lambros] And he took him

to the brothels.

And he took him

to the whores.

And he told them, you know,

to realize, that, you know,

they're all out

to get your money.

So you know,

get them a few drinks.

Have a good time.

Go completely nuts

while you're young

and everything,

so you know,

you're gonna be

a bit laid-back

on the whole woman issue

when the--when the time comes.

[Bourdain]

When you're 50.

Okay. All right.

Glad I asked.

All right, not really.

[Lambros] So this is ouzo.

[Bourdain] Oh! Sweet.

I'll have some of that.

[woman] And it is very typical

Greek sunset, huh?

[woman] It's the boat.

The grasses, the boat.

[all] Wow!

[Bourdain] That looks good.

Mmm.

[Bourdain] Yeah.

[woman] Like where?

Like here.

[laughter]

Okay.

Don't go--don't go

[Bourdain]

People who are not Greek

come to the Greek Islands

for the first time,

come to Naxos--

what should you do here?

You should drink raki

for sure.

For sure. To eat food.

To eat of course.

[woman]

Get drunk with raki, also.

Get drunk?

It's not enough

to just drink it?

[woman] No, get drunk

and sing and dance.

[woman] Don't tell me

what you ate,

tell me who you ate with.

Mm.
