The Skiathos to Skopelos ferry is one of the most straightforward island hops in the Sporades. These two neighbours sit close together in the northern Aegean, and depending on the vessel the crossing takes anywhere from about 30 minutes on the fastest high-speed craft up to around an hour and a half. Skopelos itself has two ferry ports: most sailings call at Skopelos Town, the harbour below the island’s whitewashed capital, while others dock instead at Glossa in the north of the island — a separate port serving a different village, so it’s worth checking which one your ticket takes you to. Our Skopelos Town port guide has more on the harbour and getting up to Chora.
Sailings run daily throughout the months covered by the current timetable, with SeaJets and Aegean Flying Dolphins both operating high-speed services on the route. Frequency varies a good deal with the season: fewer crossings link the two islands either side of summer, building up to several a day at the height of the season.
