Grigoris Orfanoudakis

A wedding spirals out of control before it even begins, a well-intentioned favor leads to a trip to Crete full of misunderstandings and family tensions, and a few "innocent" favors entangle people and relationships, creating a chain of unpredictable, hilarious, and touching situations.

Based on the best-selling English 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. The series premiered on 11 October 2010 to record ratings and critical acclaim. It is the most expensive Greek television production ever with a budget of €4 million.
