Flights to Skiathos

A flight from London Heathrow, London Gatwick or London City airports to Skiathos Airport takes around three hours and 30 minutes.

Use our low fare finder to discover the cheapest time to fly to Skiathos. The most popular time to visit is during the spring and summer months, when the island fills up with sun-seekers. To save, consider booking flights just before spring to make the most of this destination with fewer crowds.

You can enjoy everything Skiathos has to offer on any budget. Explore the island by foot or use its efficient boat network, which offers affordable day passes. Cheap and authentic meals like gyros and souvlaki are easy to pick up from local tavernas. To escape the heat of the midday sun, try the museums and galleries, like Papadiamantis House Museum and Blue House Gallery. They’re both free to visit.

Once you touch down at Skiathos Airport, you’re a 12-minute drive from Skiathos Town, and taxis can easily be found outside Arrivals. The cheapest way to travel is by taking the bus that departs from outside the airport terminal.

The Monastery of Evangelistria, the tiny seaside village Troulos and Kastro, with its old stone structure and partially preserved drawbridge, are must-visit attractions. Don’t miss Mount Karafiltzanaka on the north-western side of the island, where you can explore walking trails that lead to the highest point of the island.
