Ferry from Glossa (Skopelos) to Mandoudi

Glossa sits above its own harbour on the northern tip of Skopelos, and it's this small port -- rather than the hillside village itself -- where the boats for Mantoudi come and go. Mantoudi, on the other side of the crossing, is a workaday landing on the Evia coast rather than a resort, so this is a route built for getting somewhere rather than for sightseeing along the way. The stretch of open sea in between means a stiff wind can add some chop to the crossing, though most sailings in settled weather are perfectly comfortable.

It suits islanders and regular travellers more than first-time holidaymakers: locals moving between Skopelos and the Evia mainland, or visitors linking the Sporades with onward road travel toward Athens. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed sailing times, since frequency shifts across the season -- busiest at the height of summer, with a slightly lighter timetable either side of it.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car at Glossa on Skopelos?

Yes, small local agencies operate right at Loutraki, Glossa's port, some barely 100 metres from the pier. Many online booking platforms, though, list pickup at Skopelos Town instead, about 28km and a 40-45 minute drive away, so check the exact pickup point before booking. If you're staying near Glossa, a local agency at the port is simplest; otherwise compare options at Discover Cars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Glossa to Mandoudi ferry

• A wide-brimmed hat provides better sun protection than a baseball cap on the open deck of a moving ferry, where the sun comes from multiple angles.
• The meltemi typically peaks in the afternoons and can create significant swell; afternoon departures from exposed ports are more likely to be rough.
• The safest route from a weather perspective in summer is one that runs in the lee of large islands – the north coast of Crete, or between closely spaced island chains.
• On high-speed catamarans, seating is assigned; on conventional ferries it is often open plan – boarding early gives you the best choice of seats.
• Check whether your booking confirmation requires you to collect a physical ticket from the operator's port office – some agents issue vouchers that need exchanging.
