WHERE THE STORY WAS FILMED
Follow the Mamma Mia! Trail
Skopelos became known around the world as the island of Kalokairi, the dreamy fictional setting of Mamma Mia!. Many of the film’s most memorable outdoor scenes were shot across the island, from hilltop chapels and pine-covered coves to beaches that now attract visitors from all over the world.
For guests staying at Kalokairi Boutique Residence, exploring these locations becomes part of the experience — a chance to step beyond the room and into the island scenery that made the story so loved.

The Filming Locations
Agios Ioannis Chapel
Perched dramatically on a rocky hilltop near Glossa, Agios Ioannis Chapel is one of the most famous Mamma Mia! landmarks in Skopelos. Known as the wedding chapel from the film, it offers breathtaking views over the Aegean and one of the island’s most unforgettable photo moments.
Kastani Beach
Kastani Beach is one of Skopelos’ most loved beaches and one of the most recognisable seaside locations from Mamma Mia!. Surrounded by greenery and clear blue waters, it became famous through some of the film’s joyful beach scenes.
Glysteri Beach
Located on the northern side of Skopelos, Glysteri Beach is connected with several scenes from Mamma Mia!, including moments around the island’s olive groves and coastal scenery. The beach itself is small, clear and atmospheric, with beautiful waters and a relaxed summer feeling.
Cape Amarantos
Cape Amarantos is one of the most beautiful natural locations in Skopelos, known for its pine trees, rocky coves and deep blue waters. Its landscape captures the raw, cinematic beauty of the island and is closely connected with the Mamma Mia! atmosphere. The area is especially loved for photography, quiet exploring and sea-view moments.
Agnontas
Agnontas is a small seaside village on the southern side of Skopelos, known for its calm waters, local tavernas and relaxed harbour feeling. The area is linked with the wider Mamma Mia! scenery and offers a quieter, more traditional side of the island.
The Olive Groves
The olive groves above Glysteri are one of the most cinematic landscapes linked to Mamma Mia! on Skopelos. This area is associated with the memorable journey scenes that capture the island’s wild beauty and sunlit countryside.
