Happy Traveller: Tribute to October 28, 1940 (Part 1)

The Happy Traveler embarks on a historical road trip and visits important locations that played a pivotal role in the 1940s saga. Our travelers start from Athens and from the Monument to the Unknown Soldier. Later, they visit the "House of No" in Kifissia, i.e. the house of Ioannis Metaxas, where they meet his granddaughter who gives them interesting information about the night when Metaxas said the historic "NO" to the Italian ambassador. The continuation of the trek takes place in the holy lands of Epirus, where important battles of the Greek-Italian war took place in 1940. Greek-Albanian border, Kalpaki, Burazani, Konitsa are just some of the locations where some of the most important pages of Greek history were written. The tribute to October 28 will continue in the next episode, when Happy Traveler will, among other things, visit locations in Albania, where battles took place during the Italian invasion.
