It's impossible not to have seen this film at least once in your life! If you are a musical lover or simply curious about the 70s and 80s, you must admire the music of ABBA and the musical "Mamma Mia!". After the great cinematic success, there was a real tourist boom, called "the Mamma Mia effect" where everyone wondered where the beautiful island where the musical was filmed was located. If as summer approaches you are wondering where the beautiful island of Kalokairi is located with its famous Villa Donna hotel, don't bother looking for it among the thousands of islands of the Hellenic archipelago because it simply doesn't exist, its name (which among other things it means “summer”) is a cinematic invention. The whole story is set in Greece, but in three different locations, chosen after a careful inspection of islands, gulfs, towns and ports: the islands of Skopelos and Skiathos in the Sporades and the village of Damouhari, on the Pelion peninsula. Are you ready to find out where they are? (Continue reading if you want to discover all the locations of the musical)

You will certainly have heard of Skopelos, it is one of the most beautiful Greek islands, so photogenic that it was used as a set for the film "Mamma Mia", the famous Abba musical! Skopelos is a small pearl nestled between the tourist Skiathos, which has now become the main destination of the Sporades Islands, and Alonissos, more private and quiet and is a perfect mix between the two. This balance perhaps makes it one of the most beautiful and evocative islands in all of Greece for several reasons: It is one of the most lush Greek islands, with forests that practically reach all the way to the sea; the nightlife, although not as wild as Skiathos, is well organized and finally its small size allows it to be explored by car, scooter but also on foot. If you are looking for a perfect summer escape, Skopelos is the perfect place. With its breathtaking nature, its hidden beaches and its unspoiled charm, this island will amaze anyone.
