Ferry from Platanias to Skopelos

The Question:

Hello, we need to know if it,s possible to go by ferry from Platanias to Skopelos (direct)in july. We are a family with 2 children and a lot of luggage!!!
Thanks for your answer.


The Answer:

Hi!

From June in Platanias you can catch the hydrofoil to Skiathos and Skopelos islands (most of them stop first at Skiathos and then go on to Skopelos). The point is that these small boats departing from Platanias have no fixed schedules. They are being organised upon turisitc demand. In addition, it is not the best solution if you have a lot of luggage as their space is limited. In that case and in order to travel more comfortable, I would recommend you the route from Volos port or Agios Konstantinos heading to Skopelos. They last longer (4 hours) but have fixed timetable and they are bigger ships. Check out the site www.fantasticgreece.com for tickets. They will be online in a couple of months.

Yassis Stavros!!
This site is awesome...you are awesome!! I have a question for you. Can I get a boat from Kastellorizo to Cas?? And another question, can I get a boat from Platania to Skiathos? I realize that these would be private boats not ferries....any idea of the cost??

P.s. keep up the good work!!

The Answer:

Hey Jayne and thank you for all your kind words!
There is a ferry connection between Kastellorizo and Kas in Turkey and more specifically caiques are travelling to and from Kas daily. Since it is a local business, prices change and there is online booking option or a fixed pricelist. There is also a ferry connection between Platanias and Skiathos, but once again the ferry company is local.
Hope I have helped!

From Skiathos to Platanias

The Question:

hi stavros!
Can you please tell me if there will be a ferry, flying dolphin or boat departing from Skiathos town to Platanias at the end of May 2009 and if so have you any idea of the timetable or what was the timetable for this year?
Many thanks,
Roger

The Answer:

Unfortunately, it is too soon for the greek ferry companies to have decided and announced their schedule for 2009. But you can call them at 0030 24210 39786, which is the central offices of the flying dolphins, and ask them for more information regarding this itinerary.
Thanks for your time!

Ferry from Platanias to Skiathos

The Question:

Is there a ferry from Mikro, Platanias or Kastri to Skiathos and if yes do you know their schedules and prices?
Thanks

The Answer:

Hello there!
There is a ferry leaving from Platanias and going to Skiathos. The journey is almost 60 to 80 minutes. Ferry itineraries change depending the traffic so there is no final schedule. Tickets cost less than 10 euros per person.
