Getting from Agistri to Skopelos

If you are heading to Skopelos from Agistri you are making your way from a small pine-covered island in the Saronic Gulf 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 Agistri to Skopelos. Getting there means taking the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, which takes around 55 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes, and then traveling by road 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, with daily connections from Athens. Taking the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus, the metro to Athens Airport and flying 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.

Your best option

Take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus and fly to Skiathos, then take the ferry across to Skopelos. It is the most time efficient approach. If you are traveling with a car, take the Saronic ferry from Agistri to Piraeus and drive to Mantoudi or Volos for the ferry to Skopelos.
