Skiathos Island – Mamma Mia's idyllic getaway
If you have not watched the sequel Mamma Mia, you have probably never heard about these Greek islands – Skiathos and Skopelos. They are definitely not part of the usual TOP 10, offered for summer holidays in Greece, but regardless are booming with tourists, thanks to the romantic Hollywood movie based on ABBA songs. I was quite sceptical, about if I should give it a try after exploring the most…

My My, I Could Never Let You Go
Summary: Sasha Zoe just wants her dad to walk her down the aisle. There is only one problem: she doesn't know who her dad is! Sasha invites 3 men in hopes of finding out which one is her father. What could possibly go wrong?
Pairings: Levi x Hange, Sasha x Niccolo, and other background relationships
Disclaimer: This is a Levihan Mamma Mia au. This fanfic is inspired by Mamma Mia which is directed by Phyllida Loyd, written by Catherine Johnson, and uses music from the pop group ABBA. Attack on Titan is a manga/anime series written by Hajime Isayama and published by Kondasha
Author’s Note 1: Hello! This is the Levihan Mamma Mia au that I came up with one day after watching the movie. I mentioned this idea @fanmoose12 blog as an anon, and it received a lot of good feedback so here I am! 🥳 This is my first fanfic and I hope it makes sense and you enjoy it. I will do my best to give this idea justice. Don’t expect it to be an exact replica of the movie. The movie inspired the fic, so there will be some changes. Expect possibly weekly updates, but it may change because I’m in university. For example, this would have been out earlier, but I took a nap because I was exhausted from school. Please understand and enjoy! 😁
EDIT: changed the amount of days Mike was with Hange to 6. Reason? Refer to A/N in ch 15

Prologue
Greece
3 months before the wedding
It was a quiet night on the Greek island of Kalokairi. All of the residents were sound asleep except for one: Sasha Zoe. 
Sasha was rowing her boat towards the nearby island of Skiathos with a mission. She felt many emotions go through her as she got closer to the island. 
She felt excited and very nervous at the same time. Sasha began to hum a song her mom sang to her as a child to help calm herself down.
She finally makes it to the port and docks her boat before locating the mailbox. Sasha quietly hums to herself again as she makes her way to the yellow mailbox. The mailbox is the key to the answer to her ongoing question. 
She takes a deep breath when she reaches the mailbox, gives herself a short pep talk, opens it, and looks over the letters one last time.
“Mike Zacharias” drop 
“Erwin Smith” drop 
“Levi Ackerman” drop 
Sasha closes the mailbox and makes her way back to the dock and leaves Skiathos before anyone on the Kalokairi notices her absence. She sends a quick prayer for each letter to make it to its respectful destination on time and heads back to Kalokairi.
Together with their families 
Sasha Zoe & Niccolo Bottura
Invite you to share in their happiness as they join hands in marriage

Timeskip
Frankfurt, Germany
3 days before the wedding 
Levi Ackerman rushed out of Cafe Kuchel when his shift ended and put his best employee, Eld, in charge while he was away. He met his butler/personal driver, Gunther, standing outside of his car before hastily throwing his things to the car and heading to Frankfurt Airport for his flight. 
Now Levi is typically a well kept and organized guy, but now was not the time to think about his appearance when his mind is full of Hange Zoe. 
Yes, Hange Zoe. The woman he consciously met when Levi booked a random flight to Greece to escape responsibilities back home. It was a bit selfish of him to do, but Levi was tired of everyone constantly breathing down his neck when he wanted some peace. 
He knew of Kalokairi thanks to his cousin, Furlan, who took his wife, Isabel, there on vacation a few years ago. 
Levi met Hange while he was in Skiathos. She introduced herself first and Levi only gave her his first name. He didn’t want to reveal his last name to her yet. Hange told Levi how she wanted to go to Kalokairi because her cousin often visited the island. Levi. not wanting to give too much away, told Hange how he was on vacation to have some peace. 
Hange suggested they explore the island together. Levi was surprised that she practically invited a total stranger to hang out with her. 
‘Her vision must be really shitty’ he thought but agreed after seeing the cute look on her face.
They both got to know more about each other on the ferry, and they clicked really well. Hange would go on and on about her dreams, and Levi was there to listen. 
Levi didn't show it, but he was interested in hearing Hange talk. He could listen to her for hours.
It was then when Levi knew he didn’t regret saying yes to her offer. He decided to take her to a few spots Furlan mentioned. One spot was a private beach on the island Furlan and Isabel accidentally found one day. 
Hange and Levi spent 12 days together exploring the island and getting to know more about each other. Soon enough they both started to fall in love with one another.  
Levi cannot forget the special night he spent with Hange. To him, it felt like a dream, and he never wanted to wake up. 
Of course, he had no choice but to when he saw Hange’s heartbroken face that day. Levi was ready to beg on his knees and ask for her forgiveness, but Hange practically kicked him out of the island. She threw his stuff out of her house and yelled about how she never wanted to see him again before slamming the door on his face. Hange left him no choice but to return home with his broken heart. 
As Levi looked out the window, he couldn’t stop thinking about the letter and why it took Hange so many years to finally reach out. Did she forgive him? Is she planning on humiliating him when they meet again? He felt like he deserved it anyway.
Levi started thinking about the mysterious Sasha Zoe. It’s obvious she is Hange’s kid, but who is the father? More importantly, where is he, so he can beat him up. 
Gunther glanced up at the rearview mirror to find Levi glaring at everything passing by. What he didn’t see was Levi's determination to get his answer from Hange one way or another. First, he needs Gunther to drive faster.
“Speed up,” Levi says before going back to thinking about Hange again.
His mom once told him to live his life with no regrets. The thing is, Levi only has one regret, and it was letting Hange Zoe walk out of his life that day.
New York City (NYC), USA
2 before the wedding
Erwin Smith held his suitcase in hand as he navigated his way through the JFK airport to get to his flight to Skiathos in Greece. He thought about Hange as he made it to the gate and sat down. They met when he visited Kalokairi after the suggestion made by his colleague, Dot Pixis. Apparently, Pixis bought him a 5-day pass to Kalokairi so Erwin can take a vacation from college and go to Greece. 
Erwin had a feeling Pixis had an unsaid plan for him to see the beautiful women there.
Erwin quietly laughed to himself at the thought. Pixis wasn’t technically wrong when he said there were beautiful women in Kalokairi. It was where he met Hange while on his vacation. Erwin reminisces on how lost he was on the island and knew no Greek at all. It was then when Hange approached him with her yellow crop top and high waisted forest green palazzo pants. She asked if he was lost and offered to be his guide and translator. 
Soon enough, Erwin fell in love with her free-spirited personality and how her smile can attract anyone to look at her. He even got to spend the night with her on the fourth day.
Sadly, all good things had to go to an end, and Erwin had to return back to NYC. Erwin would never forget how devastated Hange looked when he announced his departure. He gives Hange his great grandfather’s emerald bolo tie on his last day in Kalokairi.
“Take this, Hange. I kept this bolo tie with me for luck. I hope this gives you luck and you can look at it to remember me.” Erwin kissed Hange one last time before heading to the ferry. 
It wasn’t until he spent one whole day in his penthouse in NYC that Erwin realized he needed to see Hange again. 
Erwin booked tickets to Skiathos that morning and was back on Skiathos the next morning. Erwin makes it to the port to find Hange on the island too. However, she was on a yacht with another guy and didn’t notice Erwin at all. He noticed her hug him, kiss his cheek, and give the mystery guy the same smile she used with him. It broke Erwin's heart and he thought she already forgot about him.
(Little did he know that Hange kept the bolo tie in the pocket of the dress she was wearing for luck)
Erwin thought he was lucky when she didn’t notice him. She didn't have to see his broken heart as he left the port to go back to NYC. 
Erwin sometimes wondered what would have happened had he left for Greece earlier. He was shocked when received the letter after so many years. The biggest mystery was being invited to a wedding, especially when he didn't personally know the bride. 
He had a feeling the bride was Hange’s daughter. The unanswered question was who is Sasha’s father? Was it the mystery guy he saw Hange with or another man?
Erwin sighed at the thought as he made his way through the gates and into the plane. He knows he may not get Hange’s heart again, but he hopes to at least see Hange’s smile one more time.  
Gothenburg, Sweden
2 days before the wedding
Mike Zacharias was texting his friend Gelgar before his flight to Skiathos. He planned on visiting his grandmother’s grave in Kalokairi after the mystery wedding he was invited to.
He found it strange that Hange invited him to a wedding when he doesn’t know the couple getting married. However, Mike noticed how Sasha had the same last name as Hange, so he decided to attend to investigate.
“I hope Hange has the answer.” Mike thought to himself 
Mike started to reminisce about Hange and how close she was to his grandma. It was almost 21 years ago when he visited his Kalokairi, and he remembered how his grandma couldn’t stop talking about a woman named Hange every time he called her. Mike decided to search for her the next time he visited Kalokairi.
Mike was at Skiathos heading to his yacht while also thinking about Hange. He was too caught up thinking about her that he accidentally bumped into a woman and caused her to fall and drop a few things from the impact. He picked her up from the ground while the other women that were with her picked up the items she dropped. 
Mike apologized and introduced himself after they cleaned up their mess. Hange introduced herself and her friends Nanaba and Rico. 
“You're the one helping Alexandra Zacharias, right?” Mike asked
“That’s me!” Hange replied happily “You must be her grandson Mike. Mrs. Sasha talks about you often!”
Mike realized that his grandmother must trust Hange a lot to reveal her nickname from when she lived in Russia. If his grandma can trust Hange, then he should too. 
“Let me help you carry everything to my yacht, and bring you back to Kalokairi as an apology for earlier” Mike insisted
“That’s perfect!” the three girls exclaim happily before following Mike to his yacht.
(Mike also noted how Hange smelled like white musk and vanilla. Nanaba had a fruity smell, and Rico had a woody oriental smell). 
Mike couldn’t forget Hange's smile before she hugged him and kissed his cheek after they left the port. 
Once they reached Kalokairi, Mike accompanied the girls to his grandma’s villa to help drop off her stuff. They ate dinner at the villa and the girls listened to his grandma tell embarrassing stories of Mike as a child.
After dinner, Mike took the girls to a bar he used to frequent after giving his grandma’s caretaker instructions while they were out. The group spent most of the night at the bar while getting to know more about each other, sharing stories, and having fun. 
At the end of the night, Mike walked the girls back to Hange’s house as they were exhausted for the day. Hange, who didn't look tired, didn't want to sleep just yet, so Mike invited Hange to his yacht to explore more of Kalokairi. They learned more about each other like why Hange was in Kalokairi and how she met his grandma. He also learned about her dreams of visiting other countries and discovering new flora and fauna. In turn, Mike told her about how his parents would visit the island every year for vacation, and his own stories about visiting other countries.
“Just do it.” Hange had told him “You look like a guy who would be free rather than staying indoors.” 
Hange’s words had deeply moved Mike, and he started to fall for her.
Hange and Mike took nightly yacht trips for 6 days and spent the night together on the final day before Mike had to go back to Gothenburg
Mike remembers seeing Hange cry before he left. He didn’t want to leave, but his parents needed him back in Sweden. 
Mike hugged his grandma one last time (little did he know that she would pass away a few months later) and kissed Hange’s forehead before wishing her farewell.
Mike visited Kalokairi once after his grandma died. He never saw Hange during the trip and didn't ask because everyone was busy grieving.
Mike was sitting in his home in Sweden when he remembered his grandmother’s last words to him. 
“Go out and explore the world, Mike. Write about your adventures and share them with everyone.” He also remembered Hange’s words the day they met and decided to become an adventurer/author. 
Mike smiled to himself after remembering how he wouldn’t be where he is today without Hange. He only hopes that she has an explanation for the mysterious letter he got a few months ago. 
Mike knew Sasha was Hange’s daughter the moment he saw her name. He thought it was sweet of Hange to name her after his late grandmother (he assumed she did). Although he may not be Hange’s husband, Mike wanted to at least meet Sasha. 
‘She might have a similar personality to grandma’ Mike thought before he heard the announcement to start boarding. 
‘First’ Mike thought as he stood up and grabbed his things to board 'I should thank Hange for everything’

Author Notes 2:
I decided to not use the music from Mamma Mia in case of copyright, and I'm not a fan of throwing in lyrics throughout a fic.
There are some characters that have not appeared in Season 4 anime, but will appear later on. There are no plot spoilers.
Niccolo does not have a surname, so I used the surname of the Italian chef Massimo Bottura (yes, I made Niccolo Italian)
For the sake of the fic (and me trying to be somewhat accurate to real life), I mention the island Skiathos which is the closest to Skopelos (the island the movie was filmed at) geographically. It's the fastest way to reach the island by ferry
The characters are probably OOC. Sorry about that
I decided on making Erwin as an American (because of Chris Evans lol), Levi as a German, and Mike Swedish. I chose their ethnicities based on looks and name origin.
I based Hange’s scent on her perfume. Apparently that exists and I didn’t know. It is canon Nanaba has a fruity smell, and I gave Rico the woody oriental smell because I don’t think fruity or floral would work for her. 
Fun fact: Sasha is a nickname for Alexandra!
I based the wedding invite on a random one I found on Google. It does come with an RSVP card, but I didn’t mention it in the fic. The formatting might look weird because idk how to set text in the middle here
I hc that Hange was at a check up in another island when Mike came back

5 reasons to choose Skiathos for the next Greek adventure
With over 200 islands to choose from, planning for a visit to Greece can appear like an intimidating task - each island offers different things and certainly exploring several within one trip is an excellent way of experiencing this variety. But if you’re brief promptly, Skiathos offers a persuasive selection of activities to match a diverse selection of people.  You can also find out more advice about Skiathos Wedding Tips
Situated in the northwest of the Aegean Sea in Greece, Skiathos is the area of the Sporades archipelago and it is also known as the get-together island of north Greece. It is almost 50 kilometers squared and has over sixty seashores, with island activities which range from drinking water sports, historical trips, shopping and partying. There is certainly something for everybody and we've highlighted our top five reasons to go to below:
1. Fabulous beaches
Tumblr media
Skiathos comes with a large number of wonderful seashores and a genuine mixture of from the beaten monitor calm coves (accessible only by vessel), to more lively options with bustling tavernas often accompanied by loud music and waters sports activities. 
Skiathos has a reputation as a celebration island and there may be enough to keep carefully the most avid music enthusiast pleased with nightclubs in Skiathos Town and beach celebrations a regular event in the high season. Little Banana Beach on the west of the island hosts a Weekend night ‘Beach Party’ with a DJ, a lot of cocktails, nibbles and a lot of fun to be enjoyed. Be warned it is a nudist beach by day and there will probably be some eager sunbathers there on the first evening.
Perhaps the most widely known of Skiathos’ beaches is Koukounaries which includes wonderful very soft, golden sand and a good amount of facilities available including water sports, several beach bars, and restaurants and a normal fifteen-minute water taxi to Skiathos Town which is by much the nicest way to visit. There is certainly music and a great, party vibe if you prefer something calmer and less busy one of the quieter seashores like Agia Eleni might be for you.
2. Easy to access
Tumblr media
Skiathos advantages from being easy to get at! It is well-linked within Greece itself via an air and ferry network but also from the united kingdom (Bristol, Manchester, and Gatwick international airports) and immediate plane tickets from over twenty Western cities in the summertime, making it ideal for a travel and flop vacation or a far more exciting tour of the Greek islands and mainland.
Thomas Make offer direct plane tickets and provide decent in-flight food service and civilized airline flight times, on arrival into Skiathos it is unlikely to become more when compared to a 25-minute taxi cab ride to what your location is staying as the island is small.
The arrival into Skiathos airport is something of the sight with one of the world's more dramatic landings, in fact, avid plane spotters often gather to view the planes land significantly close to the ocean onto its short runway.
You'll be able to arrive by ferry from the Greek mainland which takes approx two hours and daily sailings. Additionally, it is easy to island-hop around the Sporades islands such as Alonnisos, Skopelos, Skyros and undoubtedly, Skiathos.
3. Travel by sea
Tumblr media
Skiathos and even the Greek islands generally give a wonderful chance to explore by sea rather than land. Whilst in the maximum season there could be an array of luxurious superyachts hovering just offshore it's the simple little motorboats that provide adventure and independence without breaking the lender.
Vromolimnos Water sports activities are a fantastic, friendly outfit and also have various vessels for hire (a few of which might require a vessel license). If you like to relax (and be sure you reach to explore the secrets the local people find out about) then additionally there is the choice of guided motorboat tours for eight people using one of their beautiful sailing motorboats. Pods of dolphins are occasionally observed in the bay around Skiathos Town! The crystal-clear waters encircling Skiathos are ideal for diving from the fishing boat and discovering the underwater world or going swimming ashore to a secluded beach it's likely you'll have all to yourself (most are only accessible by sailboat)!
If you'd like something more adventurous numerous water sports activities outfits to provide banana boating, sailing, paddle boarding and scuba to mention a few. In relaxed weather, the underwater presence remains clear right down to 30m below the top making for ideal scuba conditions.
4. Charming tavernas
Tumblr media
If you wish to enjoy Greek food at its best, a simple Greek Taverna is just how forward. Some are just accessible by the vessel which increases their elegance and Diamanda Taverna is one particular jewel, it is accessible by land but involves a steep climb down and introduction by vessel is a much better option. Reservation is preferred and there are also parasols and sunlight loungers if you’d prefer to rest off your lunchtime before going home.
Another wonderful option is family-run, Arkos Taverna which is situated on the small, uninhabited island of Arkos just from the eastern end of Skiathos in support of accessible by motorboat. It provides a little but fantastic menu with some amazing seafood in a tranquil and beautiful environment. A snorkel before lunchtime is crucial in the crystal-clear waters.
There's also a lot more accessible tavernas dotted across the coastline which may be accessed via car, so a boat is not essential but certainly adds variety (and lots of fun!).
5. Skiathos port and town
Tumblr media
If you'd like some hype then go to Skiathos Town and Slot, lately famed because of its starring role in the Mama Mia film. There is a large choice of restaurants and pubs, including Lo&La which includes an enviable position perched up high about the slot where you can enjoy significant views across to Bourtzi and the Old Harbour. Lo&La provides an Italian menu and they have a well-deserved reputation for providing fresh and delicious flavors in a happy, inviting environment with great people viewing in the interface below.
You'll find so many tourist shops selling the most common tourist gifts of varying quality but nestled among they are some wonderful boutique shops selling anything from beautiful fine art and olive wood gifts (Olive Tree Skiathos will probably be worth a glance) to stylish clothes, try Kalokairi on the old port for Greek, Italian and French fashion.

Moment Wizz Air plane makes ‘lowest ever landing’ and skims over people’s heads
Moment Wizz Air plane makes ‘lowest ever landing’ and skims over people’s heads
A very close shave for people gathering by Skiathos Alexandros Papadiamantis Airport (Picture: Twitter/@ErinGC2002) This is the moment an Airbus 320 skims just yards over people’s heads as it comes in to land on Greece’s Skiathos island. Plane spotters were staggered by the close shave with the Wizz Air plane, which barely cleared the perimeter fence. The island’s layout means the runway at…

Skiathos, a Greek island in the northwest Aegean Sea, is part of the Sporades archipelago.
Tumblr media
It’s best known for its beaches and buzzing, youth-driven nightlife scene. The action centres around Skiathos Town, where bars and restaurants spill onto sidewalks along the old harbour and Papadiamanti street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare.
Between town and the airport are many open-air waterfront clubs.

Whether it’s to take the perfect photograph, or merely to feel a plane’s raw power, many avgeeks love getting as close to aircraft as possible. St Maarten in the Caribbean is famous among both planespotters and the general public for its low approaches and powerful jet blast departures. However, did you know that a certain Greek island features similarly extreme spectacles? Let’s take a look at Skiathos Airport.
