Travel to Skiathos
Getting to Skiathos
Planes from Athens fly daily to Skiathos and they are inexpensive at about 14,500 DRS. You can also get there by Ferry from Volos or Agios Constantinos or by Charter Flight from many cities around Europe. There are numerous hydrafoils from Volos and Agios Constantinos on the mainland and several a week to and from Thessaloniki, as well as daily connectiuons to other nearby islands in the Sporades chain.
Check out Skopelos and Allonisos. These are easy to reach by Ferry but be aware that, because of the timings, you may not be able to return the same day so take an over night bag. There is also a ferry during the summer months that goes once a week to the Cyclades and Crete, returns and goes to Thessaloniki.
Transport in Skiathos
Getting around is very easy. The bus runs the length of the main road every 20 minutes in the summer and the 1998 cost for the full journey from Skiathos Town to Koukounaries was 260 DRS.
Moped and Scooters are easy to hire from the town at about 3000 DRS a day (make sure you get Full Insurance). Car Hire is also available.
There are excursion boats leaving from the old harbor to Lalaria (photo) and the caves of Galatzia, Halikini, and Skotini which can only be reached by boat.
