Beach of Villa Donna

Next stop on the Mamma Mia tour was a olive oil factory where the olive oil grew on trees.

Our favourite stop on the tour was Kastani beach. Apparently this beach was natural and ‘untouch-ed’ (in the tour guide’s Greek English) before the movie. The beach was used for the diary scene “Honey honey”, the jetty scenes, the beach bar scene “does your mother know”, and the scene with Sky and Sophia “Don’t go wasting your emotions”. The beach bar and jetty were built for the movie and then removed to leave the beach ‘untouch-ed’. However a few years later the beach became ‘very well organiz-ed’ with beach bar and umbrellas. It was a very popular beach but very beautiful.

From Kastani you could see the “little island” that Donna rowed out to with her fellas.

From the distance we saw Amarandos cove where Sophie and her Dads stopped for lunch.

We had an amazing lunch at the taverna in Agnontas - great Saganaki and salad!

It was great to see all these famous locations but even better to get our bearings and a small glimpse into the island to pick the places we want to come back and explore.En savoir plus
