Glossa to Volos Route Map
Glossa to Volos takes between about an hour and three quarters and three and a quarter hours, depending on whether you are on one of the fast craft or a conventional ferry calling at Skiathos on the way. Seajets, Aegean Flying Dolphins and Mantoudi Lines all work the route, with vessels including Eagle Jet 2, Erato, Speedrunner Jet 2 and Zefyros. Departures are from Loutraki, the port directly below the hilltop village of Glossa.
Volos is a working port city on the Pagasetic Gulf, with the ferry berth in the city centre and the seafront promenade and its tsipouradika a couple of minutes' walk away. It is the gateway to the Pelion peninsula and the main mainland hub for Sporades traffic, with buses and trains onward to Athens and Thessaloniki. Nobody comes to Volos for the sights, but it is an easy place to connect through.
There are sailings most days through the season, several a day at the height of summer, dropping back sharply in winter. Departures, vessels and current fares are shown in the table below, starting around €34. If nothing suits, Skopelos Town at the other end of the island has its own, generally denser, schedule to the mainland.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Volos?
Yes, with several agencies operating around the port, which sits in the centre of town rather than off on its own. Volos itself is easily walkable, but a car is worth having if you plan to explore the Pelion peninsula before or after catching a ferry to the Sporades. Compare options at Discover Cars.
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.

Tips for the Glossa to Volos ferry
- On a rough crossing, the best strategy is to fix your gaze on the horizon, breathe slowly, and avoid reading or looking at screens.
- In autumn, the combination of warm sea and cooling air can produce dramatic storms – watch the forecast carefully for trips in October and November.
- In Volos, the lively waterfront promenade lined with tsipouradika – traditional ouzo-and-meze bars – makes the city a rewarding stop in its own right. The city is also the gateway to the Pelion Peninsula, a region of chestnut-forested mountain villages, traditional stone architecture, and excellent beaches on the Pagasetic Gulf coast.
