When Sheena Akliros boarded a plane for a two-week holiday in Greece, she had no idea she was about to become a real-life Shirley Valentine. After a six-day whirlwind romance on the Peloponnese with a sweet, handsome Greek farmer named Argyris, Sheena determined to follow her heart and moved with her five-year-old daughter, Sarah, to the fishing village of Ermioni to spend the rest of her days with him. Here she shares the sacrifices she made for love, the rewards and challenges of rural Greek life for a Scottish city girl in the 1980s and 1990s, and the joys and heartbreak of life spent with a soul mate.
