Car rental in Skopelos

Skopelos hat keinen Flughafen -- Besucher fliegen nach Skiathos (JSI) und nehmen eine 1-stündige Fähre. Mietwagen sind in Skopelos-Stadt und Glossa erhältlich. Die Insel ist 96 km2 und stark bewaldet -- die Hauptstrasse verläuft nord-südlich von Skopelos-Stadt nach Glossa. Ein Auto erschliesst die Strände Panormos, Milia und Kastani an der Westküste und ermöglicht Ausflüge nach Glossa mit seinen Aussichtspunkten. Achtung: die Strasse nach Kastani (Mamma-Mia-Strand) ist schmal und steil.

Häufige Fragen

Do I need a car to explore Skopelos?
A car is recommended for Skopelos if you want to visit beaches beyond Skopelos Town. The main road north to Glossa and west to Panormos, Milia and Kastani passes through dense pine forest. Taxis exist but are expensive for the longer routes. The road to Kastani is narrow and steep -- drive carefully.
Can I bring a car to Skopelos by ferry?
Yes. Car ferries run between Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos operated by Hellenic Seaways. Alternatively, rent a car locally on Skopelos -- several agencies operate in Skopelos Town and Glossa. Local rental avoids the ferry cost and gives you a vehicle suited to the island roads.
When should I book a car in Skopelos?
Book 2-3 weeks ahead for July and August. Skopelos is less busy than Mykonos or Santorini but the rental fleet is very small. Local agencies in Skopelos Town have limited stock, especially for peak season. Shoulder season (May-June, September-October) sees much lower demand and prices.
What is the road to Kastani beach like?
The road to Kastani beach (the Mamma Mia filming location) descends steeply from the main road through pine forest on a narrow single-track road. It is manageable in a compact car but requires caution, especially when passing oncoming traffic. Allow extra time and avoid driving at night.
