How to Get to Skiathos Island

Highspeed Greek Ferries

You can get to the Island by Ferry, there are regular scheduled departures from the mainland, and there are a few ports in the way at the closest Islands.

The closest Airport is located in Skiathos, that is part of the Sporades Islands, and it is between the ports in the mainland like Volos and Agios Constantinos.

There is an International Airport in Volos, besides that, the closest is located at Athens, the Venizelou International Airport.

Perhaps more challenging to get to than other, more well-known or “popular” Greek islands is Skiathos.

A daily boat service connects the harbors of Volos, Thessalonica, and Skiathos throughout the summer. Hydrofoil flying dolphin shuttles are additionally available.

A passenger bus service leaves from the center of Athens to make your journey to and from the port of Volos more convenient.

Please be informed that the summer catamarans and ferry schedules are typically announced and finalized around April.

A taxi or minivan can also be arranged to transport you from Eleftherios Venizelos Airport in Athens to the harbors of Agios Konstantinos or Volos.

Many tours depart from Volos every day and stop in Skiathos.

Five to six hours is about how long it takes to travel by ferry, four hours by catamaran, and one hour by flying dolphin.
