Getting from Agathonisi to Skopelos

If you are heading to Skopelos from Agathonisi you are making your way from the northern Dodecanese group to an island in the Sporades, in the northern Aegean. It has a densely forested coastline, a Chora of white houses and slate roofs climbing steeply above the port and over 120 churches.

Take the ferry

There is no direct ferry from Agathonisi to Skopelos. Getting there means taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then traveling to Mantoudi in northern Evia, around 2 hours from Athens, for the ferry to Skopelos taking around 1.5 hours. Volos is also an option, around 3.5 hours from Athens, with ferries to Skopelos taking around 3 to 4 hours. Note that as of 2026 there are no departures from Agios Konstantinos to Skopelos.

Getting there by air

Skopelos has no airport. The nearest airport is Skiathos, which has connections from Athens. Taking the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, flying to Athens and then Athens to Skiathos, followed by the short ferry from Skiathos to Skopelos taking around 1 hour, gives a total journey time of around 5 to 6 hours. In Greece, airlines do not operate direct inter island flights.

Your best option

Take the local ferry from Agathonisi to Leros or Samos, fly to Athens and then fly to Skiathos and take the ferry across to Skopelos. It is the most time efficient approach. If you are traveling with a car, fly to Athens, drive to Mantoudi and take the ferry to Skopelos from there.
