THE LANDSCAPE

Turquoise Bays & Pine‑clad Islands

Stops include Tsougria’s pristine beaches and the green slopes of Skopelos, with iconic sand at Kastani—each bay offers the kind of clear water and shoreline that defines the Sporades.

THE ROUTE

Beaches that Made the Movie

Visit Kastani Beach—one of the Mamma Mia locations—alongside quieter coves such as Argos and the small islets where swimming and sunning take precedence.

THE WATER

Snorkels, Sea Caves and In‑Water Play

Snorkel around Skopelos and, weather permitting, slip into the Dasia sea caves; the trip supplies snorkeling gear, floating supports, paddle boarding and an underwater camera for easy access to marine life.
