A Mamma Mia-themed family holiday on Greece's most gorgeous island

For The Sunday Times, Tracey took her twin daughters to Corfu on the trail of ITV's Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream — from Kassiopi's harbour tavernas to Kalami's Durrell villa and the abandoned mountain village of Old Perithia.

For The Sunday Times, Tracey and her twin daughters Nancy and Lola hopped between the filming locations of ITV's Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream on Corfu's quiet northeastern coast — infinity pools at the Bella Mare, moussaka on the beach at Cavo Barbaro, and a late-night disco at the Harbour Bar in Kassiopi (where Alan Carr and Amber Riley reportedly wowed the locals with their karaoke). Ended with a dramatic detour to Old Perithia, the abandoned 14th-century village on the slopes of Mount Pantokrator. Verdict: "Corfu, my, my, how can I resist you?" Simpsons Travel do a week at the Bella Mare from £619pp.
