Yes — Skopelos Island does have public transport, and it can be a useful way to get around during your visit, though many travelers still pair it with taxis, bikes, or rentals for the fullest experience.


🚌 Public Buses on Skopelos - https://skopelostransports.gr/en/routes/

Skopelos operates a public bus service that connects its main towns, beaches, and villages along the island’s main coastal road:

  • Regular buses run from Skopelos Town (Chora) to places like Stafylos, Agnontas, Panormos, Milia, Elios/Neo Klima, Ftelia, and all the way to Glossa and Loutraki Port.

  • The bus terminal is conveniently located near the main port in Skopelos Town.

  • During the summer high season, buses are more frequent, often running every 30–60 minutes and stopping at many beaches and population centres.

  • In the low season, services still operate but with fewer departures per day, so plan ahead.

  • Ticket prices are affordable and usually purchased directly on board.

In 2025 the island also introduced a new local bus fleet aimed at providing a more reliable year-round service for both residents and visitors, linking Slopelos Town, beaches and villages with multiple stops across the island.

🚕 Taxis & Other Transport -

If the bus doesn’t go exactly where you want — especially for remote beaches, monasteries or hiking spots and especially AgiOS IOANNIS (MAMMA MIA CHAPEL) — Amarantos Cave - you can also rely on:

  • Taxis, with stands in Skopelos Town, Neo Klima/Elios, and Glossa.

  • Boat taxis in summer to reach coves and beaches that aren’t served by road.

🚲 Alternative Ways to Get Around

Public buses are great for major stops, but many visitors choose car, scooter or bike rentals for flexibility — especially if you want to explore quieter inland roads or tiny beaches that buses don’t serve.
