Abba fans can relive their Mamma Mia fantasies during holidays in Skopelos or Skiathos, the two Greek Islands where the film was set.
Much of the outdoor filming was done on the island of Skopelos, which according to the Sydney newspaper Star Observer has more than 300 churches and monasteries.
"One of these is the beautifully located Agios Ioannis Chapel where the wedding took place in the movie," reports the news provider.
Fans of the hit musical can appreciate the dramatic scenery in which it was shot, and for which the Greek Islands are most famous for.
"Imagine yourself lazing on the beautiful islands of Skiathos and Skopelos while you hum the tune: 'Mamma Mia, How Can I resist You?'", states the Observer.
Writing in the Telegraph, travel writer Paul Mansfield reports that despite Mamma Mia introducing the tiny island of Skopelos to the world, it still remains a down-to-earth and laidback destination.
This is partly due to location, claims Mansfield, as the island has no airport and is only accessible by ferry from neighbouring Skiathos – adding to the element of seclusion.
