TRAVELING FROM THESSALONIKI TO SKOPELOS
The Port of Thessaloniki, in northern Greece, is considered one of the largest seaports in the Eastern Mediterranean. Thessaloniki is the capital of Macedonia and is also known as the bride of Thermaikos.
After a gap of a few years, the port of Thessaloniki has been reconnected with the Northern Sporades with direct routes.
The shipping company Seajets Company, from the summer of 2021 (up to now), has reintroduced ferry services from Thessaloniki to the ports of the Northern Sporades. (Skiathos, Skopelos, Alonissos).
Please be informed that the Superrunner Jet accepts both passengers and vehicles. The trip duration is approximately 3 hours and 55 minutes. Skopelos’ most used ports are Glossa and Skopelos. In cases of bad weather conditions, the boats may stop at Agnontas port.
