Travel

Alonissos has kept its unspoilt charm because it does not have an airport. It remains a well-kept secret, off the beaten track.

You can fly to Skiathos, Athens or Thessaloniki and travel onwards to the luxury villa you have rented from there. Flight times are all approximately 3 ½ hours.

The following websites will help you find flights:

Onward journey from Skiathos

Flying to Skiathos is the most direct option. Transfers from Skiathos to Alonissos take 1 hour 20 minutes by Flying Cat (a high-speed catamaran service).

Onward journeys from Athens

Flying to Athens gives you several onward options.

You can take an internal flight to Skiathos, then take the Flying Cat trip as above. The flight time is around 30 minutes and the cost around €65.

A taxi from the airport to Agios Konstantinos takes around 2 hours and costs in the region of €150 – €180. A bus takes around 2 ½ hours and costs about €13. From Agios Konstantinos, a Flying Cat to Alonissos takes around 3 hours and costs around €42.

Onward journeys from Thessalonika

Flying to Thessalonika also offers several onward options.

There are Flying Cat services direct to Alonissos. This usually involves an overnight stay, which is an excellent opportunity to explore this lovely city. The Flying Cat takes around 3 hours and costs about €35.

Alternatively, take a taxi or coach to Volos and pick up the Flying Cat or high speed ferry there. The journey to Volos takes around 2 hours by car or 2 ½ hours by coach. The Flying Cat journey is around 2 ¾ hours and costs about €32.

Flying Cat timetables can be checked with Hellenic Seaways (although their website is not always up-to-date).
