Greece’s ‘hollywood haven’

A relatively unknown Greek Island is attracting the attention of star-struck property investors…

Skopelos is a lesser-known Greek island that has suddenly become popular with the Hollywood set.  Tom Hanks has played his part in making the island famous as he’s a producer behind one of the biggest and most hotly anticipated summer 2008 movie releases, namely ‘MAMMA MIA!’ starring Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, Julie Walters and Pierce Brosnan, who all had the pleasurable task of filming the movie on Skopelos. 

A spokesperson for Greek property company Aegean-Blue commented: “Once the film hits the big screen this July and moviegoers all over the world see for themselves how stunningly beautiful and perfect the island is with its pristine beaches, pretty white washed houses, ancient cobbled streets, blue waters and blue, blue skies, Skopelos can expect an invasion of holidaymakers and holiday-home buyers too.
