Can You Visit The Church From Mamma Mia?

The Short Answer

Yes. The wedding chapel from Mamma Mia is Agios Ioannis Kastri on Skopelos, Greece, and it is open to the public. Most outdoor scenes were filmed on the island in 2007, and local operators run full-day bus tours from around 40 EUR covering the chapel and beaches.

How Do You Get To Skopelos?

Skopelos has no airport. The usual route is flying to Skiathos and taking a ferry to Skopelos, which takes about 1 hour. An alternative is the ferry from Volos on the mainland. Tours depart from Skopelos Town, so most visitors base themselves there.
