A funny AI video created by steady shots the day before.
Filming at our venue for the TV show "Ftásame" with Jérôme Kaluta.
The TV show "Ftásame", hosted by Jérôme Kaluta, travels to fragrant Chios — the homeland of mastiha, renowned citrus groves filled with orange and mandarin trees, and beautiful traditional medieval villages.
The journey begins in the world-unique mastic villages, with the first stop in Pyrgi, the "painted village," where Christopher Columbus once lived. Jérôme learns the secrets of "xysto", the traditional technique used to create the village's striking geometric house facades, turning it into an open-air work of art.
On a hillside full of mastic trees in Pyrgi, Jérôme visits the Chios Mastiha Museum, is introduced to the traditional cultivation methods, and even takes part in pruning the precious trees. The exploration of this unique and beneficial product concludes in the beautiful, atmospheric village of Mesta, where he participates in the sifting of the mastiha.
Different scenery awaits him in Kampos, with its historic mansions, tall stone walls, and fragrant orchards. Jérôme picks mandarins and becomes a pastry assistant, preparing a sweet treat full of the aroma and flavour of Chios mandarins. The journey ends at the Castle of Chios with traditional local songs — yet the adventure continues on an island overflowing with images, stories, tastes, aromas, and melodies.
