The Sporades Islands can be reached from the UK, most major European cities, and the US, in several different ways, depending on which Greek airport is best serviced by your departure point. Below, we have listed the ways and means to reach Skopelos from each of the four airports which have convenient and direct services to these islands:
Skiathos
The easiest way to get to Skopelos is by charter flight directly to Skiathos. Many European countries have charter flights directly to Skiathos airport with a limited number of “Flight only” seats. Charter flights can usually only be booked for one, two, or three full weeks (i.e. Friday-Friday). From Skiathos there are several ferry and hydrofoil crossings every day to Skopelos (about ¾ hour). Skiathos port is approximately five minutes from the airport.
Thessaloniki
It is also possible and convenient to travel via the second largest city in Greece, Thessaloniki. There is now direct airline service from Thessaloniki to Skiathos on Wed and Sat which takes ¾ hour and costs about 85 Euro one way (including taxes).
From Skiathos there are several ferry and hydrofoil crossings every day to Skopelos (about ¾ hour). Skiathos port is about five minutes from the airport.
There is also a direct, return Flying Catamaran service from Thessaloniki to Skopelos daily (about 3 hours and about 35 Euro one way). This service usually runs from mid-June to mid-September. There is also conventional ferry service (about 6¾ hours /30 €uros one way). We can assist with arranging a taxi transfer from the Thessaloniki airport to the port (about ¾ hour/40 €uros).
Timetables need to be checked as times of ferry departures vary from season to season, and a useful web site for up-to-date times and prices is www.gtpnet.gr
From some European countries you can also fly directly into the small airport of New Acheallos near the port city of Volos. By taxi from the airport, you may reach Volos port in about twenty minutes. There are several crossings a day from Volos to the Skopelos by hydrofoil and high speed ferry which take between two and three hours, depending on the type of ferry and costs about 32 €uro one way.
Another possibility is to travel via Athens to Skopelos. From Athens there are three ways of getting to the islands:
1. Domestic flight with Olympic Airways to Skiathos (about ½ hour/65 €uro) and hydrofoil from Skiathos to Skopelos (about ¾ hour /10 €uro) www.olympic-airways.com
2. Bus from Athens Centre to Agios Konstantinos (about 2¼ hours/13 €uro) and then hydrofoil to Skopelos (about 2¼ hours/35 €uro).
3. Private transfer from Athens airport/city centre - Ag. Konstantinos. You may choose between a taxi or mini-bus transfer depending on the size of your party. The pick-up can be from the airport or city center and takes you directly to the boat departure port of Agios Konstantinos (taxi: about two hours/150 €uro for four people) (mini-bus: about two hours/available for 10-17 persons). Another advantage to these private transfers is that your boat tickets can be pre-reserved to Skopelos (about 2¼ hours/35 €uro).
The prices above are approximate, and per person for adults.
