Skopelos to Mandoudi Route Map
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.

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.

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.
- A small padlock is useful not only for your luggage but also for hostel lockers if you are staying in mixed accommodation.
- A short crossing gives you a very limited window to buy food on board; eat before you board or bring your own snacks.
