“Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” This simple prayer is repeated continuously throughout
Man of God by the film’s title character, Bishop Nektarios (Aris Servetalis), venerated as Saint Nektarios of Aegina in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Man of God, written and directed by Yelena Popovic, is less a traditional biopic than a concentrated focus on the unjust persecutions and humiliations that follow Nektarios as an ascetic priest entirely devoted to the will of God.
Greece, a firm favourite among UAE travellers, is back.
The country’s famous beaches, sunlit islands, renowned cuisine and rich culture have long attracted visitors from the region, who, pre-pandemic, would visit in their hundreds of thousands.
Covid-19 has been a tough experience for Greece’s tourism sector and those whose livelihoods depend upon it. But a new quarantine-free travel corridor with the UAE, plus direct flights to Athens with Emirates, Etihad and Wizz Air, offer the hope of a recovery this summer.
Although tourist numbers may be down this year, and some Covid documentation is still required, avoiding the hordes in Athens and the more popular islands can still be a challenge. So, for those looking for a Greek getaway without the nightclubs and tour groups, the understated island of Andros remains a shrewd choice.
