• How can I get to my hotel from the port?

If you have arranged to stay in Skopelos Town, reaching your accommodation from the port on foot or by taxi should be fairly easy. By contrast, if your accommodation lies close to one of the popular beaches or in the villages of Glossa and Neo Klima, the best thing to do is take the bus or rent your own car. Bear in mind that high-end accommodations may offer shuttle service to/from the port at an additional cost.

• How can I get to Skopelos Town?

Skopelos Port is an integral part of Skopelos Town, so if your ferry sails to this port, the town center will be within walking distance. However, if you arrive at Agnontas or the port of Glossa, you can get to the main town by bus, taxi or rental car.

• How can I get to some of the finest beaches?

Buses starting from Skopelos Town stop at some of the island’s most popular beaches, such as Kastani, Stafilos, Milia, Agnontas, Panormos and Elios. From there, you can also walk to other nearby swimming spots. However, a car is necessary in order to access the rest of Skopelos’ beaches.

• Can I rely on public means of transport?

During the high season, the number of bus itineraries increases, which makes public transport a convenient way of moving around. However, it is important to take into account that buses may run irregularly. Moreover, secluded spots are not served by public transport at all.

• Are the distances between Skopelos Town and the touristy spots long?

Though distances between Skopelos Town and destinations in the southern parts of Skopelos tend to be relatively short, many of the island’s beaches and places of interest, especially those located in the north, are more remote.
