I’m Jonathan Knott, a journalist and travel writer. More than ten years ago, I heard the story that in the 1960s the Beatles wanted to buy a Greek island to live on. But trying to find where this island was proved to be much more complicated that I expected.

In trying to find the answer, I’ve also researched the wider historical context of the time. In this newsletter I’m sharing some of what I’ve learned since I came to be interested in this topic.
