Doch Sophia ist nicht nur hier, um das türkisblaue Wasser der herrlichen Strände, die Olivenhaine und das lebensfrohe Treiben in den Tavernen zu genießen. Sie ist auf der Suche nach einem Gemälde ihrer Mutter, das hier entstanden, jedoch verschollen ist. Zusammen mit dem geheimnisvollen Theo und ihrer Vermieterin Christina findet sie erste Antworten. Doch mindestens genauso viele neue Fragen tun sich auf – nicht zuletzt: Birgt Methoni auch für sie eine Chance auf Glück und Liebe?
