Book a Charter Flight into Skiathos:
If you are visiting us during the summer time, (May through October), you may want to seriously consider arriving via Skiathos by airplane. Skiathos is our neighbouring island where many charter flights arrive throughout the summer. Once you arrive there, and after a brief taxi transfer to the port, you hop onto the next available boat/hydrofoil that connect Skiathos with Skopelos. Fly to Other Greek airports: There are both scheduled as well as Charter flight operating services to Athens and Thessaloniki, all year round. In addition one can fly into Volos (the nearest city from Skopelos), from the U.K or Germany during the summer season. Depending on which city you decide to fly into, there are a few different means of transport with which you can reach Skopelos. |
