Trivia

It is the series with the highest budget and production values in the history of Greek television.

Adapted from Victoria Hislop's best selling novel.

There were two entrances to Spinalonga, one being the lepers' entrance, a tunnel known as "Dante's Gate". This was so named because the patients did not know what was going to happen to them once they arrived. However, once on the island they received food, water, medical attention and social security payments. Previously, such amenities had been unavailable to Crete's leprosy patients, as they mostly lived in the area's caves, away from civilization.

In episode 1, Fotini says that Alexis looks like Anna. In the series Alexis and Anna is played by the same person, Evgenia Dimitropoulou, so it's kinda obvious.

The tavern is named after Fotini's father, Pavlis.
