Kastani, Beach in Skopelos, Greece

Kastani is a sandy beach on the western coast of Skopelos, stretching about 160 meters and framed by tall pine trees. The shallow water and wide sandy strip make it comfortable for different swimming preferences.

Kastani gained international attention when scenes for the film Mamma Mia! were shot there. The production brought the beach, previously one of the quieter spots on Skopelos' western coast, to a wide audience. Since then it has drawn visitors interested in seeing the filming location.

Kastani gained wider fame because several scenes of the film Mamma Mia were shot on its sand. The beach takes its name from the Greek word for chestnut, kastano. It lies beside the better-known Milia beach, with views toward the islet of Dasia and the island of Skiathos.

The beach is accessible via an unpaved track from the main road, with parking available near the shore. A beach bar provides drinks and food without any hassle.

The mix of open sunny sand and natural shade from pine trees creates distinct zones for different times of day and preferences. Visitors can easily move between sunlit areas and cooler spots depending on the season and time.
