About this episode
Shaun is offered the chance to holiday with Hera and Athena in the ancient Greek city of Paestum, in southern Italy.
Will classicist Natalie Haynes be able to tempt him there with the promise of vast and beautifully preserved temples, chirping cicadas and delicious Italian carbohydrates? Resident geographer, historian and comedian Iszi Lawrence assures him there will also be plenty of opportunities to impersonate Russell Crowe.
Your Place Or Mine is the travel series that isn’t going anywhere. Join Shaun as his guests try to convince him that it’s worth getting up off the sofa and seeing the world, giving us a personal guide to their favourite place on the planet.
Producers: Beth O'Dea and Sarah Goodman
