My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 plot

The Portokalos family is dealing with grief and loss in the third instalment of the My Big Fat Greek Wedding film series. Toula (Nia Vardalos) and Ian (John Corbett) are happily married, but facing the challenges of parenthood as their daughter Paris (Elena Kampouris) struggles with the responsibilities of college. Nick (Louis Mandylor), now separated, returns home and displays immature behaviour. Athena and Yiannis are caring for Maria (Lainie Kazan), who is battling dementia.

The family travels to Greece for a reunion in the hometown of the late Gus Portokalos, Toula's father. They are invited by Victory (Melina Kotselou), the mayor of Gus' hometown, Vrisi. On the flight, Aunt Voula (Andrea Martin) introduces her assistant Aristotle (Elias Kacavas), who is also Paris' college-mate, and Toula reveals she is bringing Gus' journal, containing his life story, to give to his three childhood friends.

Upon arriving in Athens, the family goes sightseeing and finds Gus' childhood home in the nearly abandoned Vrisi. There, they meet Alexandra (Anthi Andreopoulou), Gus's old flame. Victory confesses that there is no reunion, and she had hoped the Portokalos family would help revive the village. The next day, the family goes to a nearby town, where Toula searches for Gus's friends without success and gets drunk on ouzo.

Meanwhile, Ian befriends a monk who has information about everyone's activities in the village. At dinner, the family meets Peter (Alexis Georgoulis), Alexandra's son and Gus' unknown son, and his son Christos (Giannis Vasilottos). Christos is in a secret relationship with a Syrian refugee named Qamar (Stephanie Nur), and they plan to get engaged despite fearing their families' disapproval.

The family helps plan Christos and Qamar's wedding, which combines Greek and Syrian wedding traditions. Paris and Aristotle decide to explore their relationship further. Toula, Peter, and Nick scatter Gus' ashes at the oldest olive tree in the village. The family returns to Chicago with Peter, where Maria is looking forward to meeting her late husband's long-lost son.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 filming locations

The third instalment of the My Big Fat Greek Wedding film series sees the Portokalos family travel to Greece for a family reunion in the hometown of their late patriarch. The film was shot entirely in Greece, with filming locations in Athens and Corfu, as well as some coastline shots of Santorini, Paros, Crete, and Hydra.

Athens

The majority of the filming in Athens took place in the Plaka neighbourhood, specifically around the Plaka salt pan. The historic neighbourhood is known for its neoclassical architecture, narrow streets, and quaint village feel. The Athens airport was also transformed to resemble Chicago's O'Hare airport, and a house in a wealthy suburb of Athens was used as the interior of the Portokalos family home.

Corfu

The cast and crew spent almost a month filming in the island of Corfu, specifically in the neoclassical village of Varipatades, located at the top of a mountain. The island's stunning castles and ancient olive groves, such as The Governor's Olive Mill, are featured in the film. The tourist attraction Danilia Village was also used to depict the ancestral village of the Portokalos family.

Other Locations

In addition to Athens and Corfu, the film includes some coastline shots of the islands of Santorini, Paros, Crete, and Hydra. A night wedding scene was filmed in Santorini, which was particularly challenging due to the island town's location on the side of a mountain.
