Skopelos to Glossa Route Map
This runs between Skopelos's two ferry ports, from the main harbour at Skopelos Town round to Glossa at the northern end of the island. Aegean Flying Dolphins and Seajets cover it in around twenty minutes on a direct fast-craft run, stretching to about an hour when the boat calls elsewhere first. Vessels include the Eagle Jet 2, Erato and the Speedrunner Jets, and fares start around €18.
The port serving Glossa is Loutraki, a small harbour below the hilltop village, and the two names are used more or less interchangeably on timetables. Glossa itself is the island's second town, traditional in character and noticeably quieter than Skopelos Town, with views out towards Skiathos and Alonissos. A short climb or a short drive takes you up from the quay to the village.
The link runs several times a day in season, with far less outside it. Current sailings and fares are listed in the table below. From Glossa there are onward connections to Skiathos and to the mainland at Volos and Platanias.

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.
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. Compare prices at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Skopelos to Glossa 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.
- Sea spray on the bow deck can be significant in choppy conditions; keep your phone and camera in a pocket or bag until conditions are calm.
- On frequent short routes, missing one sailing is rarely a disaster – the next ferry is usually not far behind.
