TL;DR<\/strong>Mamma Mia! (2008) was filmed entirely in Greece, mainly on Skopelos<\/strong> (the wedding chapel of Agios Ioannis Kastri, with 106 to 198 steps, Kastani Beach and Agnontas harbour), nearby Skiathos<\/strong>, and around Damouchari on the Pelion peninsula. The sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018), was filmed somewhere entirely different: exclusively on the Croatian island of Vis<\/strong> in Dalmatia, specifically in Komi\u017ea and at Barjo\u0161ka Bay. So the fictional island of Kalokairi does not correspond to a single real place. The best time to visit is late May, June or September, when you can avoid the summer crowds and heat.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you love the musical film Mamma Mia!, packed with iconic ABBA songs, you may have wondered what it would be like to pack your bags and go in search of the fictional island of Kalokairi. But let me surprise you with one important fact right from the start<\/strong>\u2014one that many fans have no idea about. The first and second films were not even shot in the same country<\/strong>, so Kalokairi does not exist as one specific place on a map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the original 2008 Mamma Mia! is unmistakably Greek<\/strong>, the much-loved sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018), moved hundreds of kilometres away. The filmmakers chose the Croatian island of Vis for the second film<\/strong>, with its excellent production conditions and stunning, unspoilt nature. So if you head to Greece expecting to find locations from both films, you may be very disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve put together an overview of all the key locations from both films\u2014Greek and Croatian\u2014so you can plan a trip that makes sense. We\u2019ll explore the Greek islands of Skopelos and Skiathos<\/strong>, take a look at the mainland Pelion peninsula, and then head to Croatia\u2019s Dalmatian coast. Get your summer dresses ready, cue up \u201cDancing Queen\u201d in your head, and let\u2019s go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
