The Answer:

Hello Alexandre!
To reach Agios Ioannis in Pelion, you need to first take the KTEL bus from Kalampaka to Volos and from there change bus with direction to Agios Ioannis. Buses from Kalampaka to Volos depart at 07.42, 08.53, 11.53, 17.36 and 21.00 and the route lasts 1 hour and 10 minutes. As said before, bus timetables are subject to change at anytime, so it is better always to confirm schedules with the bus station. Bus timetables from Volos to Agios Ioannis are not announced yet, but are quite frequent. In case you wish to call them, the call center from the bus station KTEL in Volos is +30 24210 33254.
Hope I helped!

From Skiathos to Agios Ioannis in Pelion

The Question:

Hi Stavros,
Please advise - how can we get from Skiathos to Agios Ioannis Pelion on 10 September 2008
Jay

The Answer:

Hey Jay!
There is a flying dolphin service from Skiathos to Agios Ioannis in Pelion, but there is no fixed timetable on departures. This means that depending on the traffic and day of the week the itineraries are subject to change. As a result the ideal solution would be to ask the port authorities of Skiathos islands about the scheduled departures. The phone number of the port authorities of Skiathos is 0030 24270 22017.
Hope the people there will be able to give you the right information!

Taxi or Car from Volos airport to Agios Ioannis?

The Question:

Dear Stavros
If we arrive by air at Volos airport on a Friday evening, how much would a taxi to Agios Ioannis cost, do you think?Or should we just hire a little car for thejourney?
Thank you!
John Mullaly

The Answer:

Hello John!
Since you arrive at a small, local airport, such as the airport of Volos, there is no official information on the taxi transfer cost to Agios Ioannis. The majority of taxis waiting at the airport will be owned by individuals who will charge differently. It would be a good idea if you could make a little research on the web to check prices if renting a car and by arriving at the Volos airport comparing those prices with the prices that you will be told by the taxi drivers.
