Traveling with Petroula isn’t just about getting from point A to B — it’s part of the experience itself.
Why travelers love it:
More intimate and local compared to large ferries
Beautiful sea views and great photo opportunities
Easy boarding and a calmer atmosphere
Perfect for day trips or spontaneous island-hopping
It’s a wonderful way to see the Sporades from the sea, especially if you prefer a relaxed, personal experience over a speedboat or a large ferry. And Yes — and it’s called Petroula.
If you’re island-hopping in the Sporades and wondering whether there’s a small boat running daily between Skiathos and Skopelos, the answer is yes. One of the most charming and practical options is the small vessel Petroula, which operates daily round-trip journeys between Skiathos and Skopelos during the summer season.
🚤 The Small Daily Connection
Petroula is a small passenger boat (not a large ferry), making the trip relaxed, scenic, and personal. It’s especially popular with travelers who want an uncomplicated way to move between the islands or enjoy a short sea adventure without committing to a full cruise ship experience.
This route is ideal for:
Visitors staying in Skiathos who want a day trip to Skopelos
Travelers in Skopelos who want to go to Skiathos for shopping, flights, or nightlife
Mamma Mia! fans who want to combine filming locations on both islands
