Episode description
In this episode we explore one of Thassos’ most precious natural treasures from antiquity: its snow-white marble. We journey to the source and meet Charalampos Filippidis, geologist and quarry manager, who guides us through the process of marble extraction, and sculptor Kostas Lovoulos, who transforms this luminous stone into works of art shaped by memory, travel, and intuition. We learn how marble continues to define Thassos, not just as a building material, but as a living part of the island’s identity.
