Routes to Skiathos and Alonissos islands

The Question:

Hello Stavros!
We plan for summer 09 (June27-July10)is to spend 10 days on Skiathos plus 4 more days on Alonissos and then take a ferry back to the mainland. Which port do you recommend we should choose for our departure? Can we take a ferry from Skiathos to Alonissos? If we go back from Alonissos, in which port shall we land? Do you have an idea about the cost of such journey for a couple and a Renault Megane?
Thanks a lot. We love Greece!


The Answer:

Heeeeeeello!!!!
Great that you love Greece :P
Seaplane airlines have announced their first schedules until March-April time. For late June and July that you are interested in the timetable is expected to be online in a month or so. You can check then at http://www.fantasticgreece.com/ and http://www.hellenicseaways.gr/.
For your departure I recommend you the port of Volos: there is regular route Volos-Skiathos and way back and the cost changes according the ferry type you will choose. It is not expensive.
Connections between Skiathos and Alonissos are being realized with local boats, so you won't have problems. Port names are "Volos port" for Volos town in mainland, for Skiathos either "Skiathos port" or "Glossa" depending the type of the boat you will choose and "Patitiri" for Alonissos.
You will find prices and booking forms in the above mentioned sites.

Hope this was helpful for you!

Skopelos to Athens ferry connection

The Question:

Hello Stavros,
5JUN Need to get from Istanbul to Skopelos.
12JUN need to leave Skopelos for Athens can fly Skiathos to Athens but cant find a ferry service. Could spend nights of 12/13JUN on JSI if this helps..
Would like ferry times / prices -for 2 ladies..many thks Dawn


The Answer:

Hello hello!
The reason why you can't find ferry service from Skopelos to Athens is because seaplane airlines have not announced yet their schedules. During summer that kind of routes are frequent and last about 2 hours depending on the type of ferry you will take (katamaran, flying dolphin).
I suggest you don't worry about availability and check http://www.fantasticgreece.com/ in 20 days from now that schedule is estimated to be online.
