GENERAL INFORMATION

TIP 1 Please keep in mind: the earlier you will land in Skiathos the more options we will have to find an alternative in case of bad weather.

TIP Often there is no direct response between airplanes and ferries. So in the evening arrival, you will probably need an overnight stay. For this reason, checking your air tickets and the ferries is advisable.

TIP Ferry tickets are usually available. However, you must book your tickets for the Northern Sporades on time, especially during July and August.
