10Skopelos

Being the greenest island in Greece, with over 50% of its area covered by a forest of pine trees, Skopelos is best known for being the picture-perfect island featured in Mamma Mia, where some scenes were filmed at the Church of Agios Ioannis (now also known as Mamma Mia Church).

Around 1600 BC, Minoans from Crete settled the island, and their mythical king Staphylos, son of the god of wine Dionysus, introduced the wine to the locals and made the island well known for wine throughout the Mediterranean.
