The Skopelos to Alonissos ferry is one of the short island hops of the Sporades — a crossing that takes you from the forested slopes and stone-built lanes of Skopelos to the quietest and most unspoilt of the group. It is a route that runs year-round, though winter services are scaled back considerably.
On average you can expect around 3 ferries per day across the year. Summer (June–August) is the busiest period, with up to 5 daily sailings making it easy to fit the crossing around your plans. In winter the timetable drops to around 1 sailing per day, so it pays to check schedules before you travel.

Tips for the Skopelos–Alonissos Ferry
- Confirm your ticket says "Skopelos Town" and not "Glossa" or "Loutraki" – these are two separate ports on opposite sides of the island, roughly 25 kilometres apart by road, and boarding at the wrong one means an unplanned taxi ride across Skopelos.
- Arrive at Skopelos Town port at least 30 minutes before your sailing – ferry companies close boarding shortly before departure, and if you are travelling with a vehicle allow closer to an hour to load.
- Even if you have booked online, you will usually need to exchange your booking for a printed boarding pass at one of the ferry agency offices along the Skopelos Town waterfront before you can board.
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are both considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops; stock up on the mainland.
- In Alonissos, the quietest and most remote of the Sporades, you'll find lush forested hills, secluded beaches, and a wonderful sense of calm. The island is a gateway to the National Marine Park of Alonissos, one of Greece's most important protected areas.
