The Trip

Steve and Rob visit the ruins of the city of Troy while staying at the Hotel Idaepe Ida Blue on Mount Ida, Turkey. Then they catch an overnight ferry to Kavala in Greece.

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's gastro tour takes them to the beach home of Mamma Mia!, where their lunchtime chat is about Alexander the Great and Ray Winstone.

Over many courses, the pair discuss famous Athenian battles, the origin of the word marathon and the correct way to resuscitate a heart attack victim.

After visiting the Epidaurus Amphitheatre, it's a boat ride to the island of Hydra, where they check into the Hydrae Hotel and visit the Omilos restaurant for a long, convivial lunch.

Steve and Rob set sail for lunch in Limini where they discuss the pros and cons of the government of ancient Sparta, which was restricted to the over-60s. Then they head to the caves of Dios where they sing a cappella and perform Gregorian chants.

Rob and Steve's island-hopping tour is cut short in King Nestor's home of Pilos as Steve receives some bad news. It makes for an emotional journey home.
