Most hotels are open from April to October, with the most popular being July and August (when prices inevitably rise). To beat the crowds, we recommend May or September stays.
Getting there
Planes
Skiathos International Airport (JSI), also known as Alexandros Papadiamantis Airport, is to the east of the island, 30 minutes away by car.
Boats
Ferry routes from port towns in mainland Greece such as Agios Konstantinos (two hours from Athens), Thessaloniki and Volos connect with Skiathos and the neighbouring Northern Sporades islands.
Automobiles
You can organise car rental from the airport, which will be useful if you plan on spending lots of time in Skiathos town or striking out to explore some of the island’s more secluded beaches.
