A 5-disc Long Play DVD set of 'The Island' ('Το νησί' in Greek), the Greek TV series based on Victoria Hislop's bestselling book 'The Island,' is now available with English subtitles.
This compelling narrative is centered around Spinalonga, an actual Greek island historically utilized as a leper colony.
The TV series masterfully captures the essence of this true story. Filmed on location in Elounda, Plaka, and Spinalonga, Crete, the series seamlessly blends factual events with Victoria Hislop's imaginative storytelling.
Collaborating with the esteemed Greek scriptwriter Mirella Papaoikonomou, Hislop adapted her book for television, resulting in a production of unprecedented scale and quality for Greek TV. This collaboration led to the incorporation of additional stories and characters, enhancing the series beyond the original book's scope.
Some even argue that these additions elevated the TV series to a level surpassing the excellence of the book itself.
