Agios Konstantinos Skiathos Ferry

Agios Konstantinos Guide

The town of Agios Konstantinos is located in Phthiotida in Greece. Following reforms in 2011 the town became part of the municipality of Molos-Agios Konstantinos and it is now ranked as a municipal unit. The town's port has ferry connection to the Northern Sporades islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos.

The mainly mountainous island is covered by cypress, plane, oak and pine trees. Visitors to the island will often see goats grazing beneath the island's trees. The forest of Radi, part of the Natura 2000 scheme, is considered to be the oldest in the Balkans. Low types of oak trees are its most numerous “residents”.

The town lies around 170 km to the north west of the Greek capital of Athens and is also a small coastal resort. Over the years the town has developed a tourist industry which has been helped by its harbour. Visitors to the town often enjoy taking a stroll along the beach or through the town, taking in its ancient architecture.

Skiathos Guide

The small Greek island of Skiathos lies in the Aegean Sea and measures approximately 12 km in length and 6 km wide, with a total land area of roughly 50 sq. km. It forms part of the Sporades group of islands and is that island chain's smallest inhabited island where most of the population is located around its south coast. In this part of the island the hills are generally much gentler than the more rugged northern part of the island. Much of the island's interior is covered by Pine forests and is a great deal Greener than most of the other Greek islands in the Mediterranean. The island's main towns are Skiathos and Koukounaries.

The island can trace its inhabited history back to ancient times when it was founded in the 7th or 7th centuries BC by the Ionians. Over subsequent centuries Skiathos has been ruled by a number of different civilisations including the Athenians, the Spartans, the Macedonians, the Romans, the Byzantine, the Venetians and the Ottomans.

Skiathos is connected by conventional ferry and high speed ferry to Thessaloniki, the other islands in the Sporades, the islands of the Cyclades and to Crete.
