WINNER TAKES IT ALL

The stunning Greek island where Mamma Mia was filmed featuring the iconic wedding chapel

MAMMA Mia is a family favourite film, featuring a young girl intent on finding her father before her own wedding.

However, fans of the show may wonder where it was filmed - and thankfully it isn't too far from the UK.

The famous church Agios Ioannis Kastri was where the wedding was filmed

The story takes place on the fictional island Kalokairi, which was actually filmed on Skopelos island in Greece.

Following Sophie, (played by Amanda Seyfriend), she invites three of her mum's former lovers to the island for her wedding to Sky (played by Dominic Cooper).

Also featuring famous faces including Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth, the film sings and dances around the once relatively-unknown island.

Skopelos is home to just 4,700 locals, and tourist numbers remain low due to the difficultly in getting there.

A one-hour ferry from Skiathos to Skopelos costs less than £5, taking between 15 and 30 minutes.

If you want to stay on the island, there are a number of affordable hotels and Airbnbs costing under £80 a night.

Fans will be stunned to hear that the Mamma Mai sequel was not filmed on the same island - and instead was filmed on the Croatian island Vis.
