Stefanos Milesis on ”Saturday Shift” | 23 Mar. 2023

On Saturday, March 23rd, 2024, writer, historian, researcher and columnist Stefanos Milesis is invited to “Fair Winds and Following Seas – Saturday shift” with Antonis Karagiannakis.

We travel back in time to hear and learn what was happening in pre-revolutionary Greece, in the maritime islands, in the shipping of the time, in trade, in the naval education of the Greeks, etc.

We discover interesting people and things of that era about the captains, sailors, shipowners of the time and how the time came and the conditions matured for our islanders, our sailors with their ships to organize and rise up against the Turkish-Egyptian fleet in the Revolution of 1821.

Brigs, fire ships, sailboats, scabies, pirates, alliances, anecdotes and legends of that time around the islands and ships of that time.

The people of Kasos gave everything they had, including their ships, to the Greek War of Independence, only to ... Read more
