To nisi

Just finished reading the novel " The island", and trying to find the full series to watch, but cannot find them, please help me. thank you and glad everyone enjoyed it !

An absolutely amazing work; fiercely emotional, gorgeously filmed, each character full of life.

I'm not going to say anything about the story, just watch it for yourself.

The story, the characters, acting, locale all of it is simply beautiful...do watch.

I would like to say that this is one of the best productions that Greece has ever done in a long time. The directing and the acting are superb and I cannot express how beautiful the scenery is in which the series takes place.

Also, happy to hear that Victoria Hislop chose Greeks to do this production cause it is worthwhile.

However it is not for all ages especially children for there are scenes not suitable for them to watch.

But overall,congratulations to this magnificent piece of work which is finally worth watching on Greek television these days.

Based on the novel The Island by Victoria Hislop, the series takes place on the island of Spinalonga, off the coast of Crete, and in the village of Plaka which lies within swimming distance across it. To Nisi tells the story of Alexis Fielding, a woman on the cusp of a life-changing decision. Alexis knows little about her family's past and has always resented her mother for refusing to discuss it. She knows only that her mother, Sophia, grew up in Plaka, a small Cretan village, before moving to London, England. Making her first visit to Crete to see the village where her mother was born, Alexis discovers that the village of Plaka faces the small, now deserted island of Spinalonga, which she is surprised to learn was Greece's leper colony for much of the 20th century. At Plaka, Alexis meets an old friend of her mother's, Fotini, who is prepared to tell her the entire tragic story of her family that Sophia has spent her life concealing—the story of Eleni, her grandmother, and of a family torn apart by war and passion. Alexis discovers how intimately she is connected with the island, along with the horror and pity of the leper colony which was once there.

This series is marvelous. The characters, the plot twists, the tragedies and overall the Greek and human history lecture lure the audience in an emotional roller-coaster.We have to thank Victoria Hislop for this "gift" because she refused all the Hollywood offers for her book so she can grant the rights to a Greek production. To sum up, To Nisi is the best TV series Greece has produces and one of the best of 2010-2011!
