Dr. Gavrilis in Kythira helps his patients fight their battles in life. He advocates a different way of life, where caring for others, together with the beauty of the island, takes away some of the fear of death.
The magic of people. Gavrilis, the cardiologist of Kythira... Death is fearless, unless...
Enchanting aromas, traditional songs, and music captivate your senses and transport you to another world. They take you on a journey to times gone by, to the heart of a mother or a homeland.
They take you to our country, which, no matter how much it suffers, urges us to accept that the joy of life, with reverence, stands alongside the pain and loss of life.

Our strange times bring loss, mourning, fear, and grief to the fore in their own way.
But also resilience, strength, light in the fog.
A difficult challenge continues to guide us: to give voice to the silence of death.
No loud cries, no pointed remarks, no resounding admonitions and prescriptions, no bright lights that obscure rather than illuminate.
A whisper is enough. A voice that means something.
Which gives meaning and saves things from the superficial, the empty, the untrue.
The solution will ultimately be man. Man himself holds the answer to «if this is man.».
Man is a creature of deficiency but also of transcendence. «To be human means not to be satisfied.».
Our new series of programs is dedicated to this indomitable man.
The times are thirsty for transcendence.
Anonymous and well-known figures in The Magic of People reveal another way of being, enduring, remembering, hoping, dreaming...
Twenty anonymous and well-known fellow citizens shared their stories with us. They let us into their minds.
They left us once again to admire, to wonder, and perhaps even to fear a little.
In any case, they made us believe once again that «The mind is broader than the sky.».
