Alternatively just enjoy a relaxing lunch at one of the fish tavernas in Agnontas near Cape Amarandos, and contemplate the beauty of the bay and pine clad hillside.

We chose to stay at Panormos, which has one of the best beaches in Skopelos with a wide selection of beach bars and tavernas. We were really happy with our choice, as Panormos offered wonderful swimming, a well stocked local shop, plenty of eating out options and easy proximity to Skopelos town.

Katerina Apartments — a great budget option where we stayed, set down a lane a short walk from the beach, in a quiet location with beautiful gardens. Psarianos Beachfront apartments — a stylish mid price option of studios in an old olive press with an enviable location right on the beach and a shady courtyard garden for sitting outside.

A few of the scenes from Mamma Mia were filmed on the Greek mainland on the Pelion peninsula, close to the Sporades islands of Skopelos and Skiathos. We spent 10 days touring around the Pelion and can highly recommend the region for the pretty mountain villages with shady squares and its glorious, unspoiled beaches. In the scene shot at Damouchari Port, Donna arrives in her battered jeep down the dirt track to greet her two friends Rosie and Tanya who have just arrived on the ferry and together they relive their old Dynamo days.

Locals we met were happy to share their memories of the filming which involved many of the local women as extras in the Dancing Queen sequence.

The production crew spent a month before the scenes were shot here, making sure that the charming cobbled streets of Damouchari looked just right to represent the pretty Greek island village on Kalokairi. A short walk past the port and through the cobbled streets of the hamlet brings you to the gorgeous Damouchari beach. Bordered by rocky cliffs on both sides, the beach is known for its round, white pebbles which makes for crystal clear water that invites you to swim.

You can also use the path to climb up a little way to the vantage point for photos looking down over the beach. We travelled around the Pelion staying in a number of different locations, but one of our favourites was the delightful Ammos Papanero guest house on Papa Nero Beach at Agios Ioannis.

The accommodation was simple, but the huge geranium filled terrace and sea views made this a wonderful place to stay in summer. From here we walked along the footpath at the end of the beach and over the headland to Damouchari.

For other places to stay in the Pelion, you can also check out the stylish mountain village hotel where we stayed in Makrinitsa and the charming sea view guest house where we stayed in Afissos.

A couple of scenes from Mamma Mia were filmed here, the best known location being the Old Port of Skiathos, where the three fathers gather to wait for the ferry to the island of Kalokairi. This is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, and you can of course enjoy a luxurious stay at the 4 star Adrina Hotel or 5 star Adrina Resort , just like the Mamma Mia cast!

Adrina Hotel is a lovely 4 star hotel with 59 rooms, close to Panormos with its own small beach. The accommodation is set on the hillside overlooking the sea with a pool, restaurant, dive centre and easy access to the other restaurants on Panormos beach.

The 5 star Adrina Resort next door is owned by the same family and offers similar facilities with suites and deluxe villas. To see the Mamma Mia film locations, the closest international airport is on the island of Skiathos, which serves the island group of the Northern Sporades.

An alternative airport is Volos , which is mainly used for summer charter flights. From Volos there are a regular ferries to Skopelos that take between 2 and 4 hours and the same ferries take an hour to cross from Skiathos to Skopelos.

The Pelion locations on the mainland are closest to Volos airport. Other major international airports to use are Thessaloniki or Athens and then you would need to travel by bus or train to Volos and then take the ferry.

An alternative would be to fly to Athens and then take an internal flight to Skiathos and then a ferry to Skopelos. You can reach Skopelos and Skiathos by ferry, either from Volos, Thessaloniki or from Skiathos, depending on which airport you fly into.

Ferries from Thessaloniki are with Sea Jets. You can check prices for all the ferry companies here. Assuming you are already in mainland Greece, bus is probably the best way to reach Volos.
