Brian and Andrew

A Place in Greece

A Place In Greece followed Coventry couple Brian Saunders and Andrew Sutton as they pursued their dream of building their very own home in Greece.

Finances were tight, so to help get the project off the ground they entered into a partnership with friends Peter and Lesley Cardy, who were also keen to have a place abroad.

The programme follows the trials and tribulations of the foursome as they travel to Crete in search of the ideal location.

After a disastrous run of tumbledown barns, views of power pylons and lumpy lunar landscapes they finally found a plot with a view,  just outside the village of Kambia but other developments soon threatened to break both friendships and bank balances.

When the men announced they were planning to move in permanently, Pete and Lesley were ready to pull out.
And the team still faced infuriated developers, expanding properties, financial ruin and the odd very cross cockerel before they realised their dream.
