Ferry from Mandoudi to Skopelos

This crossing links Mandoudi in northern Evia with Skopelos Town, the island's main port at the far end from Glossa. Seajets operates it with the Speedrunner Jet and Speedrunner Jet 2, and the journey takes between an hour and a half and a little over two hours, depending on whether the boat calls elsewhere in the Sporades on the way.

The quay sits directly below Skopelos Town, with its tiers of white houses and churches climbing the hillside above the harbour, so you are in the centre as soon as you step off. Skopelos is the greener, quieter neighbour to Skiathos, thick with pine forest, and best known abroad as a Mamma Mia! filming location. Most visitors head for the beaches at Kastani and Stafylos or the walking routes inland.

Expect roughly one sailing a day in season on this route, so it is worth booking rather than turning up. The current departures and fares are in the table below. If the timing does not suit, the more frequent Mandoudi services to Glossa put you on the same island at the northern end, with a road connection down to Skopelos Town.

Hiring a car

Can you rent a car in Skopelos?

Yes, several agencies operate within walking distance of Skopelos Town port, with free parking on the harbour front once you arrive. A car is genuinely useful here for reaching Mamma Mia filming locations like Kastani and Agios Ioannis beaches, which have good road links but sit some way from town; a compact or small SUV copes best with the terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Mandoudi to Skopelos ferry

• The meltemi wind, a strong north-north-westerly, blows across the central and southern Aegean from roughly July through to early September.
• The cost of short inter-island ferry tickets in the Cyclades is generally very affordable; island-hopping by short hop is one of the cheapest ways to travel in Greece.
• If your booking allows free cancellation up to a certain date, set a calendar reminder a few days before that deadline in case your plans change.
• If you are travelling with a pram or pushchair, store it in the designated vehicle area or a corridor space – it will not fit in the overhead racks.
• In Skopelos, the densely forested hillsides, cobblestone-paved Chora, and over 360 churches make this one of the greenest and most characterful islands in the Sporades. The clifftop chapel of Agios Ioannis – the iconic location used in the film Mamma Mia – is reached by a steep flight of steps and rewards climbers with extraordinary sea views.
