From 1974 I spent every holiday, exploring the Greek islands until, in 1980, I discovered Skopelos -- its friendly people, its beautiful forests and woodlands, its fabulous views and beaches. I explored the whole island, until, late one afternoon, I spotted a hill, climbed to the top, and experienced a breath-taking view right across the Aegean at sunset. I knew at once that this was it, and over the next two years, got to know the lovely family who owned this land. Finally, they told me they would like me to have it, "because we know you would bring love to the land." When I awkwardly asked about the price, they simply said: "Ask around, and once you a clear in your mind about the fair price, that's the price we'll sell it at." Such is the quality of this island and its people.
