TIPS FOR EVERY LOCATION SEPARATELY

KASTANI BEACH

You can visit Kastani Beach in Skopelos and swim in its crystal clear waters. You do not need to have supplies of water, juice, or light meals because there is an organized beach bar on the beach. (Different from that shown in the film)

• To begin with, Kastani Beach is 15 km from Skopelos Town (the short road). By car, you will need about 30 minutes to reach.
• The beautiful Kastani is a beach surrounded by pine trees that create a natural shade. It is a beautiful bay with fine sand and rocks at each end. The magnificent Kastani beach has small pebbles between the white sand.
• Of course, Kastani Beach in Skopelos is an organized beach, with sunbeds, umbrellas, and all the necessary amenities. There is also a Beach Bar offering you coffee, soft drinks, drinks, cocktails, snacks, and salads as well as lots of fun.

OTHER INFORMATION

1: When driving you should be careful when approaching Kastani beach because the last 500 meters of the road are not covered by asphalt.

2: Be prepared that you will not just face the same picture as in the movie Mamma Mia! The wooden pier and Don’s bar were additional interventions by the film’s creators and were removed after the end of filming. With or without a pier and a bar Kastani remains one of the most beautiful beaches of the Aegean.

3: The Kastani Beach Bar often hosts gorgeous theme parties and parties with great DJs or singers for extra fun on the island of Mamma Mia.

4: Opposite you will also see the small island of Dassia which is constantly shown in the film.

GLISTERI BEACH

Another beach to visit is the Glysteri and see where Villa Donna’s entrance was located

• Glisteri is 4.2 km from Chora and Skopelos Port. It will take you about 10 minutes by car or taxi to reach Glisteri Beach.
• Access to Glisteri Beach is easy. Follow the ring road leading to Skopelos Castle.

TIP 1: There is a beach bar on Glisteri Beach. There are umbrellas, sun loungers, and showers.

TIP 2: To get to the beach you will pass through the magnificent picturesque olive grove which we also see in the movie Mamma Mia!.

TIP 3: From the port of Skopelos daily there are boats that make the connection port Skopelos – Glisteri.

SOS: The Villa Donna does not really exist. The entrance to Villa Donna was set up with styrofoam, which was removed after the filming was over. Going to Glisteri do not expect to find Villa Donna.

AGIOS IOANNIS IN KASTRI

Of course, we do not forget the most famous picturesque church of Agios Ioannis in Kastri, which hosted the wedding of our protagonists. Ai Giannis in Kastri monastery is very famous. You should be prepared to climb the 106 carved-in-the-rock stairs to get to your destination. The magnificent view of Ai Giannis in Kastri will reward you right away!

AGIOS IOANNIS BEACH

Agios Ioannis beach is just below the imposing rock that dominates the awesome chapel. The beach is with small pebbles and stones with turquoise clear water. Small in size but unmatched in beauty. Basically, these are two small rocky beaches with turquoise waters. There is easy access by car and parking in the street. Go to the first beach on foot but the next has a small dose of adventure since you have to either swim up there or climb the rocks.

• The church of Agios Ioannis in Kastri and the beach of Agios Ioannis are about 30 km from Skopelos Town. By car, you will need 40 to 45 minutes to get there.

AMARANTOS “3 TREES”

It is worth visiting the wonderful Amaranto or the 3 trees as the cast of the movie Mamma Mia called it! You should have water, juices, or light meals as there are no bars or canteens on the beach.

• The Amarantos beach – cape is located after the beaches of Stafilos and Velanio a few meters before reaching the picturesque harbor of Agnontas.
• Just before Agnontas, on your left, you will find the dirt road leading to the white rock with the characteristic Amarantos pines.
