The Greek island of Skopelos has been voted as one of the “30 Secret Islands to Visit for the Ultimate Secluded Vacation” by the prestigious Travel + Leisure magazine.

Skopelos occupies the 6th place on the list for its hidden coves, blue-roofed tavernas and hundreds of Byzantine-era churches. As the magazine’s journalist notes, it is not by accident that the island was chosen for the filming of one of the most popular musicals.

“A one-hour ferry ride from Skiathos, the island of Skopelos is so picture-perfect that Hollywood chose its Kastani beach as a set for Mamma Mia,” T+L says.

It had left the port of Volos with 2.600 tons of concrete and was sailing to Piraeus and to its final destination in Algeria.
