About 2 km: 5 minutes and roughly €10 by taxi, or a flat 20-minute walk along the harbour road.

Not into the airport. The island bus between Skiathos Town and Koukounaries stops on the main road about 10 minutes’ walk away, every 15–30 minutes in summer, €2.20.

About €25 by day for the 20–25 minute drive along the south coast; Troulos is around €22. Fares are posted at the rank.

Taxi five minutes to the port (about €10), then a fast ferry or the conventional boat; several sailings a day in summer, about 20–60 minutes to Skopelos and 1–2 hours to Alonissos.

Yes, about 20 minutes on a flat road past the harbour. Easy with a backpack; with suitcases in the midday heat a €10 taxi is the better idea.

In the small car park beside the terminal, from about €3 an hour or €10 a day, first 10 minutes free. It is rarely full.

Not for the beaches along the south coast, which the bus serves every 15–30 minutes. A scooter or small car for a day or two reaches the north coast, Kastro and the monastery; many visitors never rent at all.

Avis, Budget, Hertz and Europcar alongside several island companies renting cars, scooters and quads, at the terminal or by delivery to your hotel.
