6The Best Greek Islands For Culture

Any travelers hungry for the cultural and historical aspects of travel, seeking knowledge in new places and experiences and indulging in the individuality of a destination’s heritage should consider visiting the Greek islands below.

Rhodes – Rhodes is the perfect island for history buffs, being home to the famous Colossus which is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and a UNESCO-listed medieval city where you can admire the mixed cultural heritage. Rhodes also offers visitors the chance to explore the Acropolis of Lindos where you can see the remains of a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.

Skopelos – One of Skopelos’ biggest draws is that it was the set for Mamma Mia! The film’s main location site in Skopelos was Kastani beach on the southwest coast of the island. There is arguably no scene more unforgettable in Mamma Mia than the one in which Meryl Streep flees up the steps of the church of Agios Ioannis Kastri, and whilst the marriage scene wasn’t actually filmed inside, there’s still a palpable sense of cinematic history.
