Tucked away in southern Puglia lies Grecia Salentina, a cluster of towns where people once greeted each other with “Kalimera!” instead of “Buongiorno.” This episode dives into the ancient Greek dialect of Griko, spoken for centuries in places like Martano, Calimera, Sternatia, and Zollino. From Fascist-era suppression to modern-day revival efforts, we explore how a language born from Magna Graecia has survived empire after empire — barely.
We’ll walk through each of the 11 towns, uncover the historical roots of Griko, and discuss what’s being done today to keep it alive.
