Agios Ioannis Kastri Chapel (Skopelos)
39° 10.5′ N · 23° 39.1′ E
The chapel perched on a sea rock above a tiny beach on Skopelos' north coast — the Mamma Mia! wedding church, reached by about 105 steps.
Practical
Anchoring is difficult off the rock because of the rocky bottom and waves; about 5 m has enough sand to anchor (yachting.com). MarinaTips (39.1722, 23.6514): exposed, only safe for a short stay in calm weather; very clear water, many jellyfish. Best early morning or evening (noforeignland).
