Arriving in Skiathos

Skiathos is the gateway to the Sporades, a small, green island whose reputation far outweighs its size. Ferries from the mainland ports of Volos and, in summer, Agios Konstantinos arrive right in Skiathos Town, where the little Bourtzi islet splits the waterfront in two. The island earned worldwide fame as a filming location for Mamma Mia, a claim it shares with neighbouring Skopelos, but its real stars are the beaches: dozens of them, crowned by Koukounaries with its protected pine forest and by Lalaria, a marble-pebble cove that can only be reached by boat. Add an international airport famous among plane-spotters for its dramatically close landings, and Skiathos becomes one of the easiest and most rewarding Greek islands to visit.

Ferries dock in the heart of Skiathos Town, so you step off the ship and straight into the island's cafes, shops and old-town lanes. Boats arrive from Volos year-round and from Agios Konstantinos in the summer season, and the harbourfront by the Bourtzi islet doubles as the departure point for excursion boats to Lalaria and the island's south-coast beaches.
