Ferry from Thessaloniki to Skopelos

Cabins & accommodation

Most ferry connections to Skopelos are quite short and as such no cabins are available on the ferries. Onboard seating is included in the ticket price.

Luggage

Ferry companies like Seajets, Hellenic Seaways and Alpha Flying Dolphins are usually quite flexible regarding luggage size and weight. You can keep your luggage next to you or store your bags and suitcases in the designated luggage area on the ferry to Skopelos.

Tip: each ferry company has its own baggage allowance policy. We recommend luggage up to 50 kg to avoid delays due to restricted space in the luggage area.
