I’m Jonathan Knott, a journalist and writer in London. When I heard that in the 1960s the Beatles had wanted to buy a Greek island to live on, I decided to try and locate it. This subject proved to be much more intriguing than it first appeared.
My attempts to clarify a historical footnote led me into a maze of phantom islands, financial strategies, secret services and cold war propaganda.
To catch up on the story so far, read this recap post.
And see the links below for discussion of my research in places such as The Observer newspaper, the Journal of Beatles Studies and popular Beatles podcasts.
