Ferry from Skiathos to Mandoudi

Skiathos's harbour sits right at the edge of the old town, so you step off the dock straight into the shaded lanes and cafés without needing a taxi. From there, boats head out across open water towards the coast that serves Mantoudi, on the northern side of Evia, arriving at a working port that sees far more locals, hauliers and travellers pressing on inland than holidaymakers island-hopping for the beaches. It's a practical link rather than a scenic day-trip run, and it suits anyone continuing overland into central Greece as much as it suits anyone coming the other way. Check the schedule box above for the current confirmed sailing dates.

Sailings keep up a solid pace for most of the season, with several crossings a day at the height of summer and a somewhat lighter timetable either side of it. The month-by-month table below shows how that frequency shifts across the year -- worth a glance if you're travelling outside the busiest weeks.

Hiring a car

Is it worth hiring a car on Skiathos?

Skiathos is small and hilly, with a public bus running a numbered route between the town and Koukounaries beach that covers most visitors' needs. A car or 4x4 is worth it if you want the quieter beaches reached by dirt roads, though free car parks at popular spots like Vromolimnos fill up by mid-morning in summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Skiathos to Mandoudi ferry

• In July and August the port gets very busy with car queues and day-trip crowds, so arrive at least an hour before departure – earlier still if you are travelling with a vehicle that needs loading time.
• Skiathos has no single ferry ticket office – each shipping company sells from its own booth near the corner of Papadiamantis Street, so check in advance which operator you are travelling with rather than queuing at the wrong window.
• Head for Skiathos's New Harbour, not the Old Port used for boat tours and water taxis, when catching the Skopelos ferry – it is a short walk from the town centre and about 15–20 minutes on foot from the airport.
• Travel insurance covering ferry cancellations due to weather is worth considering if your trip depends on reaching a specific island on a specific date.
• If you are flexible on timing, the first sailing of the day is often less crowded than mid-morning departures on popular routes.
