Jewels of the Med

Joanna Lumley narrates this exploration of the largest of the Greek Islands, taking in turtle nesting sites, the ancient Palace of Knossos, cuisine, culture, windmills and musical traditions, such as the Lyra.

British territory Gibraltar welcomes five million tourists every year, including 3,500 wedding couples. It's also famous for its Barbary macaques, and a rich marine reserve.

We visit the stunning island of Cyprus. With 11 months of sunshine, beautiful beaches and crystal-clear waters, it's no wonder this former playground for Greek Gods attracts four million visitors a year.

We head to the stunning 'white island' of Ibiza, delving beyond the world-class nightlife to explore the rich cultural history of one of the Mediterranean's most visited islands.

Cameras focus on the largest island in the Mediterranean, home to volcano Mount Etna and stunning coastlines. Steeped in history, as the cross-roads of the Med for millennia, Sicily's Roman, Greek and Arab influences can be felt all over the island to this day, through its art, architecture and food. Highlights include a look at an ambitious restoration project that has been going on for more than 30 years.
