Ferries to Skiathos
Seajets and Aegean Sea Lines, the largest operators in the western Cyclades, deliver over 100,000 annual passengers straight into the sheltered, high-cliffed port of Kamares. This three-hour high-speed voyage from Piraeus provides the perfect maritime link for travelers exploring the Aegean. Check the ferry map above to plan your onward journey south to Milos or north to Serifos. Bring your car along to easily access the famous pottery villages and stunning whitewashed churches scattered across the hilly interior.
Blue Star Ferries and Seajets are the largest operators navigating the Sporades, shuttling roughly 300,000 summer visitors from the mainland ports of Volos and Mantoudi. You will step off the ramp right into the bustling town harbor after a short two-hour crossing across the northwest Aegean. This lush, pine-covered gateway makes it incredibly easy to catch a quick connecting vessel east to Skopelos or to Alonissos. While a vehicle is helpful, the island’s excellent coastal bus route means you can comfortably leave your rental car on the mainland.
