Airport Transportation in Skiathos

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Skiathos International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Skiathos runs from Skiathos International Airport to hotels, apartments and villas in Skiathos Town and around its old port, along the south coast to Troulos and Koukounaries, and to the port for ferries to Skopelos and Alonissos.

Skiathos Airport Transfers

Our Skiathos airport transfers start in the arrivals area outside the terminal, where your driver waits with a sign showing your name. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, even on summer weekends when several charter flights land close together.

Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group, and each Skiathos airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa in Skiathos Town or along the south coast beaches. Taking a ferry on to Skopelos or Alonissos? We drive you to the port; give us your sailing time when you book.

Skiathos Airport Shuttle

Our Skiathos airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your hotel, villa or the port, with no stops at other hotels along the coast. There is room for suitcases, strollers and beach gear, so it suits families and groups staying on the south coast or heading on to Skopelos.

Landing at Skiathos Airport

Skiathos International Airport (JSI), officially Skiathos Alexandros Papadiamantis Airport, is the airport for the island of Skiathos in the Sporades, close to Skiathos Town. Its runway is short and narrow, with a public road close to its end, which makes it famous with plane spotters. Fraport Greece runs the airport: Terminal 1 handles domestic flights, and Terminal 2 handles international arrivals.

There are no jet bridges, so you leave the aircraft by steps and take a bus to the terminal. Flights from Athens and other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. If you come from outside the Schengen area, as many summer visitors do from the UK, you arrive through Terminal 2 and queue at passport control. On summer weekends, when several charter flights land close together, the small terminals can be crowded. Once you have your bags, head outside, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.

Most international routes run only in summer; in winter, flights are mainly to Athens. Greece is on Eastern European Time (UTC+2) and switches to UTC+3 for daylight saving time from late March to late October.
