After a life in fast lane across many countries and countless airports Jan Orrnert finally found what he did not know he was searching for. An island. A home. A paradise. In this personal and poetic account he opens the door to his Skiathos not as a tourist destination but as a lived reality. Here we encounter the flow of the seasons. The quiet mornings in Sklithri, The rising sun over Cape Ouzo. The people who have made the island a sanctuary and a story. With warmth humour and quiet reflection Jan writes about life in Villa Viking. About the island ways that bind us to one another and the winds and rains that leave their marks on land and spirit and the deep gratitude that comes from finally finding home. SKIATHOS my island paradise is a tribute to a life in transformation from global movement to local belonging A story about finding ones paradise not by travelling farther but by pausing and seeing things more deeply
