Mamma Mía


The producers of the film needed a place that resembled 1980 since the action takes place at that time. It was only consequent to choose Damouchari which had conserved the charm of earlier years without traffic and high-rise buildings.


In September of 2008, all inhabitants of Damouchari became extras in the film. The resting shots were taken in the neighbouring island of Skopelos.


There is a  part of film where you see Merril Streep dancing trough the village down to the harbour of Damouchari. Klick on the picture above!

 


For the film a new landing stage was constructed. Against the protest of the inhabitants is has been demolished later for security reasons.
