For travel, we are recommending flying into Skiathos - we will be arranging a group transfer by water taxi across to us in Pelion.  It’s just a short hop from Skiathos to Katigiorgis, Pelion (25 mins by sea) and then 45 minutes drive in the minibus to us.  It really makes the journey fun and enjoyable.  Regarding flights, if you are travelling from London we are recommending flying out on Saturday and  spending the night in Skiathos (there are loads of excellent low cost hotels near the port and lots of tavernas and restaurants).  If you are flying from Bristol or Birmingham we  recommend the Sunday morning flights with either Jet2.com or Easyjet. 

For guests preferring to travel via Thessaloniki, we will be arranging a private minibus transfer departing Thessaloniki Airport at around 1pm on arrival day to bring guests directly to Dolphins Leap. For the return journey, we will be arranging a private minibus transfer from Dolphins Leap back to Thessaloniki on departure day arriving at the airport by 10.30am. Many guests like to spend a night or two in Thessaloniki before making the journey down to Dolphins Leap, we would be happy to recommend hotels.
