When This Route Isn’t Running
Alternative: Mantoudi (Evia) to Skopelos
For most of the year, this Agios Konstantinos route does not operate. If you are traveling from the Athens area outside of August, the Mantoudi (Evia) to Skopelos ferry is the best alternative. Mantoudi operates more frequently, runs for a longer season, and the crossing is generally faster.
Another reliable year-round option is Volos to Skopelos, which has the most frequent service of any Sporades route.
