Cost of going to Skopelos by Car

The Question:

Hi, thanks for info so do you know how much it costs for us two withour car to go to Skopelos? Or is it not worth the trouble but just touse the bus over on the island?
Thanks
WSD


The Answer:

Hello there!
The route from Athens to Skopelos will cost you approximately 23 euros, from which 17 euros will be spent for fuel, and the rest for tolls. The whole distance is 171km. If you will be travelling during this period, which is off season, then the bus schedules are not that convinient, so it would be better to take your car with you to the island. Keep in mind that you also need to pay a fee for the boat which is around 95 euros, one-way.
Hope I have helped!

The Answer:

In order to reach Igoumenitsa by bus, you will first have to reach Ioannina and then change bus with direction to Igoumenitsa. Buses depart from Thessaloniki to Igoumenitsa at 07.30, 11.00, 13.30, 15.00, 18.00 and 21.30, but since bus timetables are subject to change very easily, it is always better to confirm the timetable with the call center of the main bus station in Thessaloniki (+30 2310 500111).
The exact location of the suburban bus station KTEL in Thessaloniki can be seen in a map at http://www.ktel-thes.gr/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=93&lang=el. Prices change and depend on the time of the year. The route from Thessaloniki to Igoumenitsa is approximately 5.5 hours.
Hope I helped!
