Drop a pin between Skiathos and Alonissos and you’ll find the picture-perfect island of Skopelos. Popular with couples and families alike, this beautiful island was the filming location for the musical movie Mamma Mia!. Offering an abundance of sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking hiking trails, this is the place to be if you’re looking for stunning sunsets, lazy sun-kissed days beside the sea, and traditional tavernas doling out Greek hospitality – and dishes – in spades.
Skopelos is known for its idyllic beaches and the photo-ready monasteries and chapels that punctuate the landscapes. Be sure to pay a visit to the Chapel of Saint John Kastri, which Mamma Mia fans may recognise from the film. And if you’re in the mood for food, Skopelos Town offers an array of family-owned restaurants serving traditional Greek cuisine and net-fresh seafood.
So, if you fancy singing a few ABBA classics while roaming along the beachfront, this could be the place for you…
