At the centre of this great sea, and surrounded by crystal clear waters, is Simon s first stop, the beautiful island of Malta. Driven by a surge of tourists, modern day Malta is booming. But beneath the picture postcard image lies a country accused of being a haven for money-laundering and organised crime, where journalists can be murdered by car bombs. In Calabria in southern Italy, Simon discovers a region in the grip of Europe s most powerful mafia, the Ndrngheta. Mainland Italy: Travelling east along the southern tip of mainland Italy, Simon visits a turtle conservation centre, meeting Raoul, a loggerhead turtle rescued after swallowing huge quantities of plastic, a massive and increasing threat to Mediterranean wildlife. Simon helps release him back into the sea. Albania: Simon arrives in one of the least known but most beautiful corners of the Mediterranean, Albania. Under communist rule Albania was isolated and shut off from most of the world. In a country now hoping for EU membership, Simon discovers an ancient culture of vendetta, where if an adult commits a crime, a child can be killed in revenge.
