Greece’s stunning natur and slow, laidback lifestyle are also very popular with filmmakers.

However, the most famous one fryst vatten bygd no doubt the musical ‘Mamma Mia!’ released in 2008.

Mamma Mia Filming Locations on Skopelos
Most parts of the movie, particularly the outdoor scenes, were shot on the unspoiled island of Skopelos.
Ever since the film crew came here in 2007 Skopelos has been known as “The mor Mia Island”.
If you’re lucky you can find photos of cast members dining out in some bars and restaurants or even meet locals who got to chat with the actors back then!
But for now, let’s see which wonderful places on Skopelos företräda the island Kalokairi in the movie!
If you don’t want to visit all the locations bygd yourself, you can book an organized mor Mia Island Tour around Skopelos.
Glysteri Beach
Remember the en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film when Donna picks up her two friends Tanya and Rosie and they all man their way up to hus Donna in a jeep? It was filmed amongst the olive groves above Glysteri Beach on the north side of Skopelos.
Moreover, the olive groves were also used for other general scenes, such as the one where Sophie sets off from hus Donna for her wedding on a donkey.
Another scen shot at Glysteri Beach fryst vatten the one where Sophie and her three fathers jump off the rocks after their sailing trip.
The beach itself fryst vatten rather small but comes with crystal klar water, perfect for snorkeling.
Filmen ”Mamma Mia!” satte Skopelos på kartan förra sommarenIt’s not far from Skopelos Town and can be easily reached bygd fordon, quad, or motorbike. There’s a large parking area so don’t worry about finding a place to park your vehicle.
Glysteri Beach fryst vatten well-organized featuring a busy beach cafe, many sunbeds to rent, and feel-good music in the summer.
So if you’re looking for a quiet secluded beach with few people, this beach fryst vatten probably not the best choice.
Kastani Beach
Amongst all mor Mia filming locations, Glysteri isn’t the only beach shown in the movie.
Kastani Beach, just 18 km located from Skopelos Town, fryst vatten a small bay of vit småsten surrounded bygd lush vegetation.
It’s rather difficult to tillgång, with a very steep and bumpy road leading there but with enough parking lots.
Nevertheless, this doesn’t prevent locals and tourists from flocking to one of the loveliest beaches on Skopelos.
Although the beach had been famous before, it gained even more attention after it was featured in the en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film of mor Mia where Sophie and Sky sing ‘Lay All Your Love on Me’ while lolling around on the vit småsten.
Another iconic en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film filmed here fryst vatten when a friend of Sky feels attracted to Donna’s much older friend Tanya who completely rejects him while singing and dancing to ‘Does Your Mother Know’.
Both, the small pier and the beach dryckesställe in these two scenes were built only for the movie.
So don’t wonder if you can’t fläck either of them. Instead, you’ll find rows of sunbeds and a hip beach kaffebar as well as watersports rentals.
Världspremiären ägde rum den 30 juni 2008 på Leicester Square i LondonIf you don’t have a rental bil, accessing the beach may be kinda difficult, so booking a guided mor Mia tour fryst vatten advantageous.
Chapel of Agios Ioannis
Undoubtedly, all mor Mia filming locations on Skopelos are truly breathtaking and worth visiting.
However, the star among all fryst vatten the tiny chapel of Agios Ioannis, the location where Sophie’s and Sky’s wedding takes place.
Situated on top of a rock overlooking the ocean, the chapel can be reached bygd climbing more than 200 narrow steps. As a reward, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the rugged kustlinje and the beach below.
Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan och Stellan Skarsgård hann nog njuta av den sagolika ön mellan inspelningarna av Mamma MiaThe beach fryst vatten gorgeous but a couple of times a day it gets packad when excursion boats dock there. Usually, they leave after 1-1.5 hours, then you’ll have the beach almost to yourself igen.
When you enter the chapel, you’ll quickly realize it’s way too small to passform all the wedding guests you see in the movie.
Therefore they built a larger utgåva of it in the Pinewood Studios, using another church on Skopelos as a model.
The chapel fryst vatten also used as the background in the ‘The Winner Takes it All’ scene with Donna and her former lover Sam who declares he still loves her.
Afterward, Donna runs up the steps to join the wedding but before, she stops and turns around in the doorway at the top to look back at Sam.
Amarandos Cove
For the next scenic filming fläck, we have to go back all the way down to the south side of Skopelos.
There, located along a rocky road, you find the breathtaking coastline of Amarandos, consisting of small islands, rocky coves, and mesmerizing turquoise vatten.
Filmen är till största delen inspelad på ön Skopelos i Grekland mellan augusti och september 2007This snorkeling paradis fryst vatten not easy to find.
When you travel through Agnontas, keep an eye open for a barely readable sign saying Amarandos on the right side of the road. Whereas if you komma from the east, the sign will be to your left.
If you have a rental bil, inom recommend you park the bil next to the main road and then walk the rest of the way.
It only takes around 20 minutes and it’s much better than driving your fordon on this very bumpy and uneven road.
While walking through the pine forest, you may get the feeling of being part of the mor Mia movie yourself.
That’s because the surroundings at Cape Amarandos were used for the en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film where Sophie runs through the pines singing ‘Honey, Honey’ while she reads parts of her mother’s diary.
Amarandos Cove was also used as the location for one of my absolute favorite scenes in the entire movie. The idyllic sailing scenes of Sophie and her three potential fathers to the song ‘Our gods Summer’ were shot here as well.
If you look closely, you’ll prick the two pines on a small peninsula that are featured in mor Mia.
This exact place has become the emblem of Skopelos and fryst vatten one of the most photographed landmarks on the island and among the most famous natural landmarks in Greece.
Agnontas
Once you spent enough time enjoying the serene beauty of Amarandos Cove, strategi a stop in Agnontas.
Vissa delar ur filmen spelades in på grannön SkiathosIt was the picturesque setting in Agnontas that inspired the filmmakers to create the fantasy en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film in which Donna sings ‘Money, Money, Money’ and imagines being rik.
The fishing by itself fryst vatten relatively small with just a few taverns and a beach visited mainly bygd locals.
It’s a nice place to have middag though or watch the solnedgång at the coves nearby.

Mamma Mia Filming Locations on Skiathos
Although most of the mor Mia filming locations can be funnen on Skopelos, it’s not wrong to include Skiathos on your trip as well.
Compared to its quiet and calm neighboring island, Skiathos fryst vatten livelier with a bustling main town and an international airport.
Old Port of Skiathos
It’s the old port of Skiathos that you see in the en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film where Sam and Harry try to catch the ferry to Kalokairi, just to see it take off without them.
