Agios Ioannis Chapel at Dawn, Before the Crowds

Climb the 100 stone steps to the cliffside chapel made famous by Mamma Mia's wedding scene while it's still empty and the light is soft.

What to expect

A short scenic drive along the coast road brings you to the base of the rock at Agios Ioannis sto Kastri. You climb the narrow stone steps carved into the cliff face to the tiny chapel perched above the Aegean. At this hour it's just you, the bell, and open water in every direction, with time to sit quietly inside the one-room chapel.

Good to know

Go right at sunrise or by 8am at the latest; the site has zero shade and gets very hot midday. Sturdy shoes recommended for the steps.
