Damouchari fishing cove
— the cove the mountain folds down to meet the sea.
Not only on a wall.
Damouchari fishing cove, on ceramic.
Each tile is finished by hand in our Knoxville studio. Artwork is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, and rests beneath a thin glossy finish. The colour lives in the surface, not on top of it.

“A pebble cove below the village of Mouresi, reached by a stone mule path down through olive and plane trees. Two small jetties, a clutch of fishing boats, water that turns deep green where the rock drops away. The Mamma Mia crew filmed a week here in 2007. Nobody else has needed it to be famous since. from the studio
The place, in three passes.
Damouchari is the historical port of Mouresi, on the eastern coast of the Pelion peninsula in Magnesia, central Greece. The cove sits about 60 kilometres south-east of Volos, at the foot of Mount Pelion, which rises to 1,624 metres above the Aegean. A cobbled kalderimi, part of the old mule-path network that linked Pelion's mountain villages to the sea, descends from Mouresi to two small harbours separated by a rocky headland. The settlement keeps a handful of stone houses, a Byzantine-era ruin above the southern cove, and a working fishing fleet.
The cove faces the open Aegean but stays sheltered from the meltemi winds that scour the Cyclades through August. The seabed is white pebble and flat rock; depth drops within a few metres of shore, which is why local boats moor close in. Clarity holds through October because no river silt enters the bay. Swimmers reach the small offshore islet in about five minutes. The southern harbour, behind the headland, is the one Universal used for the harbour-arrival sequence in the 2008 film Mamma Mia!.
Damouchari is reached by car from Volos along the EO38 to Tsagarada, then a four-kilometre descent past Mouresi. The final stretch is narrow; village parking sits a ten-minute walk above the cove. There is no admission fee. Two waterfront tavernas, Karagatsia and Barba Stergios, open from May through October and serve fresh-caught fish with Pelion mountain dishes. The 2008 film Mamma Mia! used the southern bay as the harbour location; the cove has stayed quiet since. Water shoes help with the pebble entry.
