In episode one Simon travels from Malta along the coast of southern Italy to Albania - a journey that takes him to the dark heart of the Mediterranean. And in Italy's Deep South Simon finds a land in the grip of Europe's most powerful mafia. He accompanies police through an extraordinary warren of underground tunnels used by crime bosses on the run, and witnesses the incineration of more than a ton of seized cocaine.

Simon Reeve embarks on the second leg of his epic four-part journey around the Mediterranean. Setting off from a snowy mountain ski resort in Cyprus, Simon finds an island and a capital city still deeply divided between Turkish Cypriots in the north and Greek Cypriots in the south.
Episode 3
Simon Reeve embarks on the third leg of his epic four-part journey around the Mediterranean. He begins in Libya - a country torn apart by revolution, insurgents from the so-called Islamic State and western air strikes. Travelling west along North Africa's Mediterranean coast, Simon journeys through Tunisia where he meets a man who is keeping Berber traditions alive by harnessing camel power to make olive oil and excavating rock by hand to build new Berber homes. From Tunisia, Simon boards the overnight ferry to Sicily. Here he meets three inspiring sisters who - despite constant intimidation - are making a defiant stand against the mafia.
Episode 4
Simon Reeve embarks on the fourth and final leg of his journey around the Mediterranean, travelling from Morocco, across the sea to Spain, and on to Corsica and the French Riviera.
