It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but I am planning a trip to Greece soon, and a lot of the pictures I see of Santorini seem to remind me of the beginning scenes of this movie, where the lead characters are children. Someone throws a coin in the water, and the two boys dive in after it off of a pier. The scenery looks very much like the village of Oia. Can anybody confirm that?
shareThese are the two Greek locations, from the filming locations link on the main page:
Egia Anna, Amorgos, Small Cyclades, Greece
Kalotaritissa bay, Amorgos, Cyclades, Greece
