Six programmes on the civilisations of Turkey: written and introduced by John Julius Norwich 2: The Coming of the Greeks
In pre-Christian times Greece' included the whole Aegean coast of what is now Turkey. Here all the most splendid achievements of Greek civilisation flowered.
This programme explores the great cities, now marooned by the retreating sea, which still breathe the atmosphere of Greek civilisation at the peak of its creative power.
