Lear was impressed by the legacy of the struggle of the local people against Ottoman oppression. Nowhere was this more exemplified than in the mountains of northern Greece. Robert finds that stories of those times are still celebrated, and Lear himself remembered, but the traditional way of life pursued in this breathtaking landscape is fighting to survive against encroaching modernity.

Fantastic series - but I only discovered it yesterday! Deserves way more views and comments. I especially like parts around Lake Prespa - I've eaten at the same restaurant in Brajchino several times going as far back as 20 years ago when the village tourism started. My father is from a nearby village - the last village toward the border with Greece. My mom is from Bitola, so I also enjoyed that part as well - she's Vlach actually, as many are in Bitola. Thank you for doing this - something for the benefit of all humanity.
Wonderful. So good that there are interesting people like you to do things like this.
Fantastic - "I salute you Edward Lear"
It seems to me as well that Lear could have been a really good spy for the British Empire - collecting information on the Ottoman Empire. LOL
