Ferries to Skiathos

The Question:

what is the ferry between Volos and Athens called that goes to Skiathos


The Answer:

Hello,

there is not a specific name for the ferry. You can check the timetable from www.hellenicseaways.gr and www.fantasticgreece.com in a few days. From Volos the boat trip lasts three hours if you catch the ferry or one & a half by the hydrofoil.
The trip takes almost the half hour if you take the ferries from Aghios Konstantinos, the port on the mainland, between Athens & Volos (if you mean the name of the port).

Hope I have helped you!

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.

From Pelion to Volos and Skopelos

The Question:

Hello Stavros,
we want to go on 8th of September from Mourisi (Pelion) to Volos and from there to Skopelos on the same day. We booked a studio for this evening and the following on Skopelos, so we have to arrive this day.We have found only one connection from Hellenic Seaways from Volos to Skopelos on this day. The departure time is 9:00AM. With the first bus from Mouirisi we can\'t catch this ferry boat. Are there any other ferry boat connections on this day to Skopelos, which we could take? Else, do you have any other idea?
Thank you very much Stavros,
Jakob


The Answer:

Hello Jakob!
On the 8th of Septemeber there is also a ferry departing from the port of Volos at 14.30. So maybe this is more suitable for you. If you want to check ferry itineraries, just visit www.fantasticgreece.com.
I hope you will make it on time!

How to reach the port of Volos from the airport of Volos

The Question:

Hi Stavros,I am arriving Volos airport on 3 September at 11.50 and want to travel on to Allonisos by boat. I see there is a ferry/Flying cat at 13.00.How do we get to the Volos Port from the airport and how much time do we need to plan?
thanks
Paul

The Answer:

Hey Paul!
The only way to reach the Volos port from the airport of Volos is to take a taxi from there. It shouldn't take you long to reach the port since it is very close to the city of Volos, so you should estimate no more than 30 minutes.
Hope I helped!
