Alonissos to Thessaloniki Route Map
Alonissos to Thessaloniki is the long northern run out of the Sporades, operated by Seajets on the fast craft Speedrunner Jet in a little over four hours. It heads up the Thermaic Gulf rather than back to the usual Thessaly ports, which makes it a useful link if you are flying out of northern Greece. Seating is indoors on this vessel.
Thessaloniki is Greece's second city, and the ferry arrives on the waterfront within reach of the centre rather than at an out-of-town terminal. The seafront promenade runs from the port past the White Tower, and the city's Roman and Byzantine remains, food markets and student nightlife are all within walking distance of the water. There are trains and long-distance buses onward to the rest of northern Greece, and the airport is south-east of the city.
The route runs a few times a week in season and does not operate year-round. Current departures, vessel and fares are listed in the table below, starting around €48. The alternative is the standard Sporades line to Volos and an onward bus or train, which is slower overall but runs far more often.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car on Alonissos?
Yes, several agencies operate in and around Patitiri, the small port town where ferries dock. A car is handy for reaching the Old Town, Chora, about 3.5km uphill, and the beaches scattered along the east coast, though scooters and taxis cover the same ground on this compact island. Book ahead in August when local supply is limited. Compare prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Alonissos to Thessaloniki ferry
- Wind on open deck is a reliable form of air conditioning in summer – many Greeks head straight to the deck rather than the air-conditioned saloon.
- Some operators allow seat upgrades at the port ticket desk if higher classes have not sold out – worth asking if you arrive early.
- If you want to avoid the worst of the meltemi, book morning departures from exposed Aegean ports in July and August – conditions are typically calmer before midday.
- Cable or combination luggage locks sold at airports offer minimal real security but do deter casual interference; a proper padlock is better.
- Two-berth cabins with a porthole cost more but are worth the premium for overnight crossings – a few hours of genuine sleep transforms how you arrive.
