Rick Stein: From Venice to Istanbulchevron_right
S01E04: Northern GreeceFrom Albania, Rick enters northern Greece in the region Epirus, long the literary heartland, with lakes rich in fish, the culinary focus. Following in the footsteps of romantic author and independence war ally lord Byron, Rick visits the seat of the cruel pasha which even the Ottoman sultans had to execute, the inaccessible monastery that inspired Rick's favorite poem and Byron's place of death, Mesalonghi port, named by a Venetian. Everywhere the cuisine is simply and based on a few local ingredients plus some spices.
