The journey time for the bus and hydrofoil is approximately 4 hours in total. The duration for a journey with one’s own car/bus and the ferry (hydrofoils do not take cars, thus resulting in a longer journey time) is approximately 6 hours. There is also a direct daily flight from Athens to Skiathos with Olympic Air (olympic-airways.com). The flight time is 35 minutes and it is strongly recommended that reservations are made in advance.
