Thanos Kondylis, PhD in History from the University of Athens and author, is the guest on “Saturday Shift“, the two-hour weekend special edition of the show “Fair Winds and Following Seas” with Antonis Karagiannakis on Voice of Greece, on Saturday, March 29, 2025.
The discussion revolves around his new book, Pirates and Corsairs in the Greek Seas“. Thanos Kondylis explores piracy in Greek waters, which, according to his research, is a timeless phenomenon that began to develop in the late Middle Ages and persisted with varying intensity until the 19th century. Reading excerpts from his book, the author discusses the impact of piracy, which “plagued shipping and overseas trade for centuries while, on the other hand, contributing to the prosperity of several islands.”
