Agios Konstantinos from Patras

The Question:


Halo,
Thank you very much for your valuable reply. I have a doubt, can i take a KTEL Busfrom Patras to Agios Konstantinos and then take a ferry to Skiathos. Is this better or your previous option of going to Volos From Patras is better. By seeing the Map it seemed that Agios Konstantinos is closer to Patras.The second question is i have checked cheap Air fares from SKIATHOS TO ATHENS is about 50 Euros, Do you suggest me to take a Flight from Skiathos to Athens by Air OR whether i should take a Land and Ferry route, Ie, Skiathos to Agios Konstantinos by Ferry and KTEL Bus from Ag Konstantinos to Athens.
Thank you and awaiting for your reply.
Regards
Chittinani


The Answer:

Hello Chittinani,

Thank you for your kind words!

Agios Konstantinos is indeed closer to Patras that is Volos. But the thing is that there is not bus connection to Agios Konstantinos from Patras. You can only travel to Lamia, a town close to Agios Konstantinos.
As far as your second question is concerned, I cannot advice you, as the ferry pricetables have not been announced yet, so that to compare the costs. They are expected by the mid of March in http://www.fantasticgreece.com/.

I wish you a pleasant trip to Greece :)

How to reach Skiathos from Athens

The Question:

Hi there,
What is the cheapest way to travel from Athens to Skiathos in the first week of May? Flights are coming up at about 120 Euro return, but is there a ferry, bus or train option?
Many thanks.


The Answer:

Hey,

there is a bus departing from Athens going to Agios Konstantinos port in Central Greece. From there you simply take the ferry to Skiathos. There are both flying dolphins and regular ferries and the trip varies between 1 and 1,5 hour. You can check the seaplane schedules and prices in a few days that they are expected to be online from www.fantasticgreece.com or www.hellenicseaways.gr/.
The public transport K.T.E.L. bus from Athens LIOSION intercity station to Agios Konstantinos departs a quarter past, every hour and the trip is 2 hours and 15 minutes. Ticket costs 14 euros.
I suggest you to wait a few days to get the ferry prices and see wheather the flight connection is better for you.

Happy to have helped you!

Hello again George,

you can plan your own route from ViaMichelin site. It is rather detailed and you will get all the useful information. A good idea to stopover is Katerini. It is a beautiful city and you will have the chance to have a great walk there before you get to Ptolemaida!
