Detailed itinerary

This magnificent chapel of St.John or Agios Ioannis sits on top of a massive rock formation while gently resting on the sea. It truly is love at first site when you first glimpse the "Rock" as I love calling it.
At the very top, and as you pass through the arched entrance, you can feel proud of yourselves, having climbed all the way up, taken the same steps and passed through the very same arch that some of the top Hollywood actors have passed. Whether you chose to see The Movie before you reached here, planning to see it afterwards, or simply don't much care about the notorious Mamma Mia movie, one thing is certain; you now know why this place was chosen!!!

Kastani is one of the loveliest beaches in Skopelos, with lovely crystal waters and white sand, located 15 km west of Skopelos Town. It has a remarkable environment surrounded by pine trees that reach the edge of the shore.
Its majestic landscape has made a worldwide tour with the American film "Mamma Mia", most of the scenes were shot here. Kastani becomes busy in summer, but not as busy as Elios or Klima. A sloping dirt road, just 500 meters from the bus route, will lead you to the beach.

.Agnondas is the third port of Skopelos where ships and ferries anchor when the winds prevent them from reaching the other ports of the island. It is a picturesque coastal settlement built around a beautiful region of pine trees forests.
The pristine beaches with the emerald waters and the impressive surroundings charm every visitor. At the port of the settlement many boats moor and private yachts during the summer season. It is located 8 km south of Skopelos Town.
