Glossa sits above its own harbour on the northern tip of Skopelos, and it's this small port -- rather than the hillside village itself -- where the boats for Mantoudi come and go. Mantoudi, on the other side of the crossing, is a workaday landing on the Evia coast rather than a resort, so this is a route built for getting somewhere rather than for sightseeing along the way. The stretch of open sea in between means a stiff wind can add some chop to the crossing, though most sailings in settled weather are perfectly comfortable.
It suits islanders and regular travellers more than first-time holidaymakers: locals moving between Skopelos and the Evia mainland, or visitors linking the Sporades with onward road travel toward Athens. Check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed sailing times, since frequency shifts across the season -- busiest at the height of summer, with a slightly lighter timetable either side of it.

Tips for the Glossa–Mantoudi Ferry
- Watch for swell forecasts as well as wind speed – residual swell from a previous day's storm can make a crossing rough even when current wind is light.
- Ticket prices on some routes include a mandatory port surcharge; on others it is separate – the checkout total will clarify this before you pay.
- The meltemi blows from the north-north-west; routes that run east–west are more exposed than those running north–south along a chain of islands.
- On high-speed catamarans, seating is assigned; on conventional ferries it is often open plan – boarding early gives you the best choice of seats.
- Holy Week and Easter are the busiest travel period of the Greek year – book ferry tickets months in advance if your trip includes Easter.
