As usual, the cameraman was Graham Berry, but the video
engineer was Serge Beaupere (instead of Frank Meyburgh) and the local helicopter
was flown by Miltos Broubas (instead of Keith Thompson). |

Zoologist Gerald Durrell lived in Perama in a pink villa
and beyond this is Kaiser’s Bridge. In the Achillion Palace is a statue
of Achilles, the clue being at the base – near his heel! |
| 2 |
In Corfu Town, south of Saint Spiradou Cathedral, is a
place where candles are made. The clue is wrapped around a long candle.

Annie flies to Potamus Bay (headless hippo) and the folklore
village. The clue is found on a backgammon board. |
| 4 |
The helicopter flies to Dassia – the Greek letters
Δασια (delta alpha sigma iota alpha)
spell ‘Dasia’ – and lands on the beach. The clue is on a trident sticking
out of the sea. |
