Show Notes

In this episode Mat sits down with his longtime friend Alison Schofield, who first arrived in Stoupa in 1993 as a 21-year-old holiday rep after unexpectedly being reassigned from Lesbos. Alison paints a rich picture of a quieter, undiscovered Stoupa, the tight-knit community and reminisces about the now-gone hot spots of the time.
