Ryanair to fly to Mamma Mia! island from Budapest

Ryanair has just unveiled an exciting addition to its routes – a direct flight from Budapest Airport to a magnificent Greek island well-known among Mamma Mia! fans.

According to turizmus.com, the Irish low-cost airline’s first flight will depart from Budapest in early June, whisking passengers away to this idyllic destination until the end of September. The planes will commute twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, between the Hungarian capital and the captivating Skiathos, nestled in the northwest Aegean Sea. Fun fact: Skiathos and its neighbour Skopelos played starring roles as the filming locations for the beloved 2008 film Mamma Mia! The iconic Dancing Queen dance scene was, in fact, filmed on the picturesque beach of Skiathos town.

Take a trip down memory lane and re-watch this famous scene:

Skiathos is one of the most popular Greek islands among foreign tourists. It has a vibrant nightlife, and accommodations span from 2-stars to 5-stars hotels.

With over 60 sandy beaches to its name, Skiathos boasts gems like the breathtaking Koukounaries Beach, cocooned by pine trees. Additionally, the island is home to the ancient Panaghia Ekonistria cloister, the 19th-century Panaghia Limnia church and the Kastro Medieval ruin fortress, boasting a panoramic view that will leave you in awe.

The airport is very close to the beach. Therefore, many spotters deem Skiathos the European St. Maarten, Airportal wrote.
