Museum SecretsSeries 1 | Episode 1 Stunning architecture and relics from the National Archaeological Museum of Greece. Experts attempt to unlock the mystery of the complex 2,000-year-old Antikythera mechanism.
INSIGHT-Typically Greek, delayed land register is never-ending epic...Documents may be two centuries old and define the limits of properties with reference to landmarks that no longer exist, or using fuzzy phrases such as "500 paces from the olive tree" or "five stone throws in this direction".Roughly 60 percent of the country is officially designated as forest, protected by the Greek constitution from economic exploitation.

Much of suburban Athens is still officially forest, since the city expanded massively in the 20th century with no equivalent changes in land zoning.
