Skiathos's harbour sits right at the edge of the old town, so you step off the quay straight into the shaded lanes and cafés without needing a taxi. From there, boats head out across open water towards the coast that serves Mantoudi, on the northern side of Evia, arriving at a working port that sees far more locals, hauliers and travellers pressing on inland than holidaymakers island-hopping for the beaches. It's a practical link rather than a scenic day-trip run, and it suits anyone continuing overland into central Greece as much as it suits anyone coming the other way. Check the schedule box above for the current confirmed sailing dates.
Sailings keep up a solid pace for most of the season, with several crossings a day at the height of summer and a somewhat lighter timetable either side of it. The month-by-month table below shows how that frequency shifts across the year -- worth a glance if you're travelling outside the busiest weeks.

Tips for the Skiathos–Mantoudi Ferry
- In July and August the port gets very busy with car queues and day-trip crowds, so arrive at least an hour before departure – earlier still if you are travelling with a vehicle that needs loading time.
- Skiathos has no single ferry ticket office – each shipping company sells from its own booth near the corner of Papadiamantis Street, so check in advance which operator you are travelling with rather than queuing at the wrong window.
- Head for Skiathos's New Harbour, not the Old Port used for boat tours and water taxis, when catching the Skopelos ferry – it is a short walk from the town centre and about 15–20 minutes on foot from the airport.
- Never put valuables (passport, wallet, phone, camera, medication) in your main luggage – keep them in your day bag on your person at all times.
- Check whether your booking confirmation requires you to collect a physical ticket from the operator's port office – some agents issue vouchers that need exchanging.
