Why travel by ferry from Skopelos to Skiathos?

Whether you're travelling alone, as a couple or with the family, a Skopelos to Skiathos ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option for getting to Skiathos. Here are 3 reasons why we think a ferry from Skopelos to Skiathos is an ideal way to travel.

Transporting your bike is not a problem
Travelling with your bike on a train, plane or bus is often a nightmare because it is so cumbersome to carry. However, on a ferry, you don't have this problem: your bike is loaded directly into the ship's huge garage. You leave it there for the duration of the Skopelos-Skiathos crossing in complete safety and without fear of it being damaged. You will find it when you disembark on your arrival in Skiathos.
Because it's the ideal way to travel with your family!
If you have children, there's no better way to travel from Skopelos to Skiathos as a family than by ferry. Everything is simpler. As soon as you leave Skopelos, imagine your children exploring the ship, spending long periods playing in the children's play areas or in the video games and arcades (for teenagers), watching the latest films in the cinema, sharing a family meal in the restaurant, or marvelling at a magic show or other countless activities. On board the ferry to Skiathos, time flies by faster than you think and this maritime experience between Skopelos and Skiathos will remain unforgettable for your children for a long time.
Not to be bored on board... unlike the plane
If you compare the speed, the plane is certainly the fastest way to get from Skopelos to Skiathos. But you are stuck in your seat, strapped in by your seatbelt, and there is almost no opportunity to travel. During the Skopelos Skiathos ferry journey with Magic Sea Ferries, Sea Jets, Anes Ferries, Hellenic Seaways or Aegean Flying Dolphins, there are countless opportunities to enjoy restaurants and bars, or to stroll and sunbathe on a promenade deck... A totally different experience to flying!
