Meet the characters of the series:

Iordanis Gialamas (Odysseas Papaspiliopoulos)

A polite and unassuming accountant at a multinational corporation who has spent his entire life on the sidelines. Introverted and trained never to say “no,” he has been a constant victim of abusive behavior in his workplace. His low self-esteem led him to settle for a marriage that drained him financially and emotionally, until his spendthrift wife abandoned both him and their two children. When the pressure of mounting debts and daily humiliation pushed him to his breaking point, the “invisible man” rebelled: he grabs a bag containing 600,000 euros and flees to a campground with his daughter and son. There, the jaded accountant becomes the unexpected protagonist of an adventure that will transform him into the mastermind behind a series of illegal activities.

Sophocles Angeloudis (Giorgos Chrysostomou)

Imposing and taciturn, the manager of the “Another World” campground commands respect without ever having to raise his voice. With a past in the special forces as a frogman and a deep childhood trauma that causes him to view all men as a threat, Sophocles has developed his own unconventional code of justice. He is the “campingrator” of “The Other World,”  protective to the point of self-sacrifice toward women, children, and the weak, yet at the same time manipulative and unpredictable. With a permanent poker face that gives nothing away, he enjoys flirting with danger and throwing others off balance. His encounter with Iordanis will spark an explosive alliance, resulting in the campground’s rules being rewritten from scratch.

Giota Dimara (Vicky Stavropoulou)

Giota is a generous, kind-hearted woman who lives and breathes solely for her 25-year-old son, Loukas. Scarred by an abusive marriage, she found safety in the tranquility of the campground and in Sophocles’s caring embrace. However, her excessive love for her son often turns into suffocating control and obsessive protection. Anxious and overbearing, she tries every day to convince Loukas of the dangers of the outside world, while carefully hiding a dark family secret. Her greatest nightmare is that her son’s naivety might bring the truth to light, especially now that the balance at the campground is being upset. 

Marianna Papazoglou (Christina Cheila – Fameli)

Authentic, uncompromising, and outspoken, she lost her mother at a young age, fell out with her father, and has lived on her own ever since. She worked as a model, worked nights, and eventually became involved in a luxury escort ring—a lifestyle that affords her the comfort of independence as well as the freedom to plan her future. She’s studying sociology and lives modestly in a trailer, saving every euro with the sole goal of changing her life for good. The charming nonchalance in the way she speaks and her dynamic personality make her stand out, but her unexpected encounter with Iordanis will shake her beliefs and bring her past into conflict with her future.

Stella Dendrinou (Bessy Malfa)

Dreamy, spontaneous, and explosive, Stella is a woman who lives in her own unique world, with Anna Vissi as her ultimate role model. Harboring a secret dream of becoming a singer, she sees her life as a soundtrack with the motto, “Everything I’ve experienced, Vissi has already sung about.” She retired from the bank to pursue the dream she and her husband had of opening a tavern at the campground, which they named “The Dream,” for that very reason. Despite their daily arguments and her tendency to break things to let off steam, she adores her husband and, through her disarming naivety, often manages to come up with the most unexpected solutions to his dead ends.

Tassos Athanatos (Yiannis Dalianis)

A former bank employee who decided to take early retirement, Tassos invested all his savings in the campground tavern, only to find himself deep in debt very soon after. Impulsive, impatient, and quick-tempered, he often overreacts to the slightest thing, venting his daily stress through shouting and outbursts. Behind his abrasive demeanor, however, lies a deeply devoted husband who loves Stella more than anything. In his desperate effort to keep the business afloat and escape financial ruin, he will find himself exposed to situations and promises that are far beyond his means.

Nitsa Patera (Nadia Kontogeorgi)

Authoritarian, sharp-tongued, and cynical, the owner of the campground’s mini-market wants to be in control and know everything. Her harsh demeanor and pathological jealousy toward her husband hide a deep, open wound that fills her with insecurities and outbursts toward those she loves. Despite her difficult personality, she is not malicious. But when illicit money begins to flow through the campground’s corridors, Nitsa will seize the opportunity without a second thought, ready to lie for the first time—even to her husband—in order to raise the money she needs to pursue her dream.

Kosmas Vlachos (Nikolas Chanakoulas)

A Greek-Australian expat who gave up his life in Australia for Nitsa’s sake, Kosmas is a kind, laid-back man with an exasperatingly slow pace of life. He works for the government, loves tinkering, and often finds solace in a cold beer. His impassive and detached demeanor serves as a shield to hide just how fragile and sensitive he really is. Honest and devoted to the law, his naivety and desire to always do the right thing will unwittingly lead him down dangerous paths, putting the people he loves at risk. 

Vivi Halvatzis (Areti Paschali)

Vain and superficial, Vivi grew up with the burning dream of “the high life,” fame, and easy wealth, yet she lacks the means to make it a reality. She married Iordanis (Odysseas Papaspiliopoulos) in search of financial security, while at the same time living her life by taking advantage of his kindness, until she left him and their children for the sake of a new adventure. When she learns that her ex-husband has suddenly come into a fortune, she returns to the campground ready to claim her share. There, her encounter with a changed, dynamic Iordanis will throw her plans into disarray and awaken unexpected feelings within her.

Ioanna Saltampasi (Anastasia Stylianidi)

A police officer, workaholic, and utterly dedicated to her duty, Ioanna follows in the footsteps of her father, who died too soon. Her greatest asset during interrogations is her kindness and the sense of ease she inspires, which allows her to gain the trust of suspects. Behind her professional competence lies an emotionally distant woman, with a severe fear of germs and a complete lack of a personal life. Her return to the campground is linked to an unsolved case from the past that haunts her as a personal failure. Determined to unravel every mystery related to the “Other World,” she will come face-to-face with the campground’s residents, who always seem to be one step ahead of the law.

Loukas Ioannidis (Alexandros Tomadakis)

Enthusiastic, talkative, and incredibly sociable, he finds absolute freedom in his bike rides, dancing, and his dream of becoming a pastry chef. He lives under the suffocating protection of his mother, Giota (Vicky Stavropoulou), bearing the unhealed scars of a family secret that, when it intrudes on his memories, causes him to disconnect from his surroundings. The arrival of Iordanis’s children at the campground will mark a turning point in his life, offering him, for the first time, the chance to experience true friendship.

Eva Gialama (Eva Samioti)

Iordanis’s daughter. Intelligent and dynamic, Eva was forced to grow up quickly, hiding her sensitivity and need for care behind a caustic, “cold” sense of humor. The forced move to the campground shakes her certainties, but the sight of her father taking his life into his own hands makes her see him as a true hero. Protective to the very end of her younger brother—with whom she nevertheless argues almost daily— she’ll go so far as to risk everything and get herself into dangerous situations in order to keep her family safe.

Petros Gialamas (Stratis Hatzistamatiou)

Iordanis’s youngest son. The 17-year-old high school sophomore is quick-witted, humorous, and the family’s eternal prankster. His disappointment over his mother’s departure has led him to adopt a defensive sarcasm and an aggressive attitude toward anyone who mentions her. Addicted to the internet and video games, he hides his father’s cowardice and insecurities behind his carefree demeanor. The forced “detox” from technology during his stay at the campground will compel him to take notice of the real world, sparking his first adolescent anxieties and unexpected emotional explorations.
