Sweden's Southwestern Archipelago
islands without cars

Mon, Aug 25 11:00 P.M. NH Create (11.4)  

In this episode, we go island hopping in the land of the Vikings. Just off of Sweden's southwestern coastline are a series of small islands dotting the north sea. We explore Marstrandson for a midsummer sun - and a midsummer celebration - that almost never ends while learning about the island's most famous and some would say beloved cross-dressing criminal, and taking a private museum tour featuring an exhibit on the incomparable Ingrid Bergman. On Styrso, the largest of the southern islands, which is considered the "main" island in this archipelago, we spend some time understanding the understated elements of Swedish hospitality. And finally, on the southern-most island of Vrango, we don't just cook the island fish... we catch it!

About Islands Without Cars:

The unique new travel series ISLANDS WITHOUT CARS takes a rare and whimsical look at life without cars, buses or trains.

On small, remote and sparsely populated isles scattered throughout Europe, most of the inhabitants travel and transport goods by donkey, bicycle and other non-motorized vehicles.

It may seem like a bygone era, but for some, it is a modern reality.

The six-part series offers a fun and engaging look at the remote islands of Hydra (Greece), Sark (Channel Islands), Inish Meain (Ireland), the Aeolians (Italy), Zlarin and Krapanj (Croatia), and Porquerroles (France) through the eyes of a youthful and vibrant host.
