Ferry from Skopelos to Alonissos

The Skopelos to Alonissos ferry is one of the short island hops of the Sporades — a crossing that takes you from the forested slopes and stone-built lanes of Skopelos to the quietest and most unspoilt of the group. It is a route that runs year-round, though winter services are scaled back considerably.

On average you can expect around 3 ferries per day across the year. Summer (June–August) is the busiest period, with around 5 to 8 daily sailings making it easy to fit the crossing around your plans. In winter the timetable drops to around 1 sailing per day, so it pays to check schedules before you travel.

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.

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 Skopelos to Alonissos ferry

• Confirm your ticket says "Skopelos Town" and not "Glossa" or "Loutraki" – these are two separate ports on opposite sides of the island, roughly 25 kilometres apart by road, and boarding at the wrong one means an unplanned taxi ride across Skopelos.
• Arrive at Skopelos Town port at least 30 minutes before your sailing – ferry companies close boarding shortly before departure, and if you are travelling with a vehicle allow closer to an hour to load.
• Even if you have booked online, you will usually need to exchange your booking for a printed boarding pass at one of the ferry agency offices along the Skopelos Town waterfront before you can board.
• A compact headlamp or torch is worth packing; island paths and port areas are not always well lit, especially in the off season.
• In Alonissos, the quietest and most remote of the Sporades, you'll find lush forested hills, secluded beaches, and a wonderful sense of calm. The island is a gateway to the National Marine Park of Alonissos, one of Greece's most important protected areas.
