The World of Mamma Mia!
If you have ever daydreamed about being Donna Sheridan, or any member of the Dynamos, then we know just how to live that fantasy out.
The smash hit "Mamma Mia" has inspired travelers to flock to Greece ever since it premiered in 2008. Even if you’ve never been to the Greek Islands, you probably still have a good idea why they’re high on everyone’s travel bucket list — pristine beaches with turquoise waters, cliffside whitewashed buildings with bright blue roofs, narrow cobblestone streets perfect for a day of wandering, and laid-back energy.
The Edge has compiled a list of 5 destinations that will transport you into the world of Donna Sheridan.

Skopelos
Santorini
Santorini is likely already on your bucket list, so the Mamma Mia! element is just another reason to book a flight! Must-see sights include the iconic blue domed topped buildings of Oia and the underwater caldera.
Paros
If an archetypal Greek island is what you are looking for, then Paros is the one for you. The white buildings with accents of blue, authentic fishing harbours and peaceful villages are perfect for those looking for a relaxed slice of Greek life.
Rhodes
Out of all the islands, this is one of the biggest, with an impressive amount of beaches and villas that'll be the setting for your very own movie-like adventure. For Mamma Mia! fans like yourself, you'll be hoping to meet your very own Sky, or maybe even a rough-around-the-edges character like Bill while you're out and about in the Mediterranean. The surplus of magical spots on this island is sure to have you in love.
Mykonos
Mamma Mia! might not have been filmed in Mykonos, but if you're hopping around the Greek islands, it seems obvious this island shouldn’t be overlooked. Famed for being a celebrity hangout for decades, Mykonos offers glamorous bars and clubs paired with authentic restaurants and tavernas.
