Ferry from Skopelos to Mandoudi

Skopelos to Mandoudi on Evia is a longer crossing, around an hour and a half to a little over two hours on the Seajets fast craft Speedrunner Jet and Speedrunner Jet 2. The boat leaves the Sporades and heads southwest towards the long island of Evia, so it is open water for most of the way. It is a seasonal service aimed at travellers wanting an alternative mainland-side route.

Mandoudi, also spelled Mantoudi, sits in northern Evia and is a working town rather than a resort. Most arrivals move on fairly quickly, using it as a way into the beaches and villages of the north Evia coastline. The port facilities are modest, so it is worth arranging onward transport before you arrive rather than expecting a rank of taxis.

The route runs roughly a couple of times a day at the height of the season and disappears outside it. Current departures, operators and fares are shown in the table below. From northern Evia the road runs south towards Chalkida and the bridge to the mainland, giving a route into Athens that avoids Volos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Skopelos to Mandoudi 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.
• Bring a portable power bank rated at least 10,000 mAh; charging sockets on ferries are not always reliable, and island power cuts are not unheard of.
• If you are island-hopping with heavy luggage, consider leaving the bulk of it in a locker or at your hotel on the main island and taking only a day bag on short hops.
