Skiathos Airport (JSI) to Skiathos town

A bus runs between the airport and Skiathos town from the curbside south of the control tower building.

  • The stop is at the curbside south of the Control Tower building.
  • The service runs between the airport and Skiathos town.
  • Skiathos Transports runs the island bus network, along the south coast to Koukounaries.
  • The airport does not publish a fare.
  • The town is barely 2 km away, so this is one of the shortest airport journeys in Greece.
  • The runway ends at the sea wall by the road, which is why this airport is famous with plane spotters, and why the approach feels dramatic.

The bus

  • Curbside, south of the control tower. A short walk from the terminal.
  • Skiathos town is about 2 km away, at the eastern end of the island.
  • The island's single bus route runs along the south coast from the town to Koukounaries beach, stopping at every numbered beach on the way.

The island network

  • Skiathos Transports operates the route, and it is the backbone of the island for anyone without a scooter.
  • Buses are numbered by beach stop, which makes it easy to tell a driver where you are going.
  • Fares are not published on the airport's page, so carry cash.

The famous runway

  • Skiathos has one of the shortest runways serving jet aircraft in Europe, ending at a sea wall beside the road to the town.
  • The beach at the threshold is a well known spotting point. It is also a genuinely uncomfortable place to stand when a jet applies takeoff thrust.
