Getting to and from Skyros Airport
The airport is in the pine-covered north, and Chora, the beach at Magazia and Molos, and the port at Linaria are all south of it on the one main road. Skyros has a handful of taxis and a bus that links Linaria, Chora and Molos around the ferry times, so arrivals by air rely on a booked taxi, a hotel car or a hire car delivered to the terminal.

A few taxis meet the flights; fares are fixed per destination and agreed before setting off, and the night tariff applies after midnight. Book by phone or through your accommodation for August arrivals and for the return to the airport.

Bus, hire cars and the ferry
No bus serves the airport. The island bus runs between Linaria, Chora and Molos, timed to the ferry rather than the flights. Skyros agencies deliver hire cars and scooters to the terminal by reservation, and a car is useful for the beaches of the north and the wild south. The ferry from Linaria crosses to Kymi on Evia in about an hour and three quarters, once or twice a day, with a KTEL connection from Kymi to Athens.
