Igoumenitsa/Patra to Skiathos

The Question:

To Reach Skiathos from BRINDSI.

Do i have to arrive at Igoumenitsa or Patrasto reach Skiathos. I am traveling along with my family of FOUR.

FROM Igoumenitsa / Patras HOW SHOULD I REACH SKIATHOSPl suggest the convenient way to reach Skiathos.

Thank YouChittinani

The Answer:

Hello,

From Igoumenitsa it is a bit hard to travel until Volos and then take the ferry to Skiathos. You will have to take the KTEL bus until Ioannina and then change bus until Volos. Bus stations' telephones are 0030 26650 22309 and 0030 26510 26286 for each one if you want to know about the timetables.
From Patra it is easier. There is a KTEL bus on 15.30 leaving Patras towards Volos. The trip lasts 5 hours and the cost is 24 euros. You can call the bus station at 0030 2610 623887.
As soon as you get to Volos there are frequent ferry lines to Skiathos at the port, so it shouldn't be a problem. You can check the routes online at http://www.fantasticgreece.com/ and http://www.hellenicseaways.gr/ in a few days that will be announced.

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!

Scheduled Ferry Itineraries for September 2008

The Question:

We are will be spending our holidays on Skopelos from the 29th of August - 12th of September and would like to purchase roundtrip ferry tickets Volos - Skopelos. Apparently there are no return trips in September. How can we solve this problem and are there any ferry trips in September?
Please be so kind to reply soon
Sincerely,
Ivana

The Answer:

Hello Ivana,
The greek ferry companies usually announce their scheduled ferry itineraries up to some date in September. In this case scheduled ferry itineraries come up available for booking until the 8th of September. This doesn'e necessarily mean that the timetables will change from September 8th to the 12th but no one can be 100% certain. As a result, since neither the travel agencies know something more about this subject, I would recommend you to wait some more days in case the system is updated with the new timetables.
You will not face any availability problems during this time of the year, so you will be able to buy tickets even when arriving at the port!
