around<\/strong> <strong>30\u00b0C<\/strong> and <strong>pleasant nights at around 20\u00b0C<\/strong>.

A ticket from the airport costs <strong>3 euros<\/strong>, and you can check the timetable on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/skiathostransports.gr\/en\/routes\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/skiathostransports.gr\/en\/routes\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">official website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TIP:<\/strong> The same bus can also take you to various beaches. Skiathos has essentially one main road with bus stops numbered <strong>1 to 26<\/strong>, starting from the main town and stopping at many beaches along the way. The <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Fare Bare - d\u011btsk\u00e9 barefoot\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/doporucujeme\/fare-bare-detske-barefoot\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">fare<\/a> is also <strong>3 euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a lot of luggage or miss the bus, you can opt for a <strong>taxi<\/strong> or <strong>car rental<\/strong>. <strong>Taxis are available right outside the terminal<\/strong>, and the trip to town will cost between <strong>7 and 10 euros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who want to explore the island with more freedom, <strong>I recommend renting a car or<\/strong> <strong>scooter<\/strong>\u2014assuming you have a confident driver among you (sadly, I\u2019m not one of them \ud83d\ude04). It\u2019s the best way to enjoy Skiathos at your own pace without relying on bus schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Hotels_in_Skiathos\"><\/span>Best Hotels in Skiathos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, <strong>Skiathos is a very small island<\/strong>, so no matter where you stay, you&#8217;ll find it easy to get around quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for accommodation <strong>near the airport<\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?aid=1607597&amp;dest_id=2151565&amp;dest_type=hotel&amp;label=v3.cm2bn0hbg32sp0806ghnahxi1\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.html?aid=1607597&amp;dest_id=2151565&amp;dest_type=hotel&amp;label=v3.cm2bn0hbg32sp0806ghnahxi1\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Skiathos Holiday Resort<\/a><\/strong> is a great option.
