Best way to get from Skopelos to Athens airport

The Question:

Hi Stavros - would you be able to advise us the best way to get from Skopelos to Athens airport in mid May this year? A (non-Greek!) friend has suggested we take the ferry from Skopelos to Ag.Konstantinos, then bus to Athens, then Metro to airport. Just wondered if this was good advice or if you know of a better idea?
Many thanks.
Lynda


The Answer:

Hello Lynda,

I find correct the idea of your friend. From Skopelos you take the ferry towards Agios Konstantinos. There are regular routes Skopelos-Agios Konstantinos and will be announced online at www.fantasticgreece.com. Most of them make a first stop at Skiathos island and then arrive to Agios Konstantinos. The trip lasts 2-3 hours depending on what type of ferry you will take.
From Agios Konstantinos there are KTEL buses to Athens and you should call at 0030 22310 51346 to find out more. As soon as you arrive to Athens you can take the express bus X95 from Syntagma square (Athens city centre) to the Airport. The metro line going to the airport is out of order until summer due to extension reasons.

Hope I helped you!
