Leave your Santorini hotel at a time to suit your schedule, and travel inland by deluxe air-conditioned vehicle to your helicopter launch pad. Meet your pilot and then board your private helicopter to take to the skies above Santorini, a place widely thought of as the most beautiful Greek island. Gaze out of the window and watch the launch pad slip from your view as the breathtaking island landscape takes center stage. How much of Santorini you see depends on the duration chosen. All flights include a hotel drop-off after touch down.
20-Minute Flight:
Spend longer in the air, checking out the caldera and Nea Kameni, and see a selection of Santorini’s top beaches, too! The beaches flown over are decided on the day by your pilot, but typical examples include Perissa and Kamari. Ogle the beaches’ red-tinged volcanic sand lapped by the sea, and look out for hideaway coves and secluded bays.
30-Minute Flight:
See the caldera, volcano and a selection of beaches, plus the island of Thirasia and two of Santorini’s prettiest villages: Megalochori and Oia. Glide above the vineyards and historical mansions of Megalochori, a charming 17th-century village, and look out for Megalochori Square where handsome tavernas spill onto the pavements.
Loop around Thirasia, the large island adrift from Santorini’s northwestern coast. Forming part of the remains of ancient Thira, the island is sparsely populated with most of its people residing in its main village. Look out for the brightly colored houses that characterize Thirasia, and then soar back over the sea to Santorini, passing the ever-scenic village of Oia. Have your camera ready to capture spectacular sights of Oia’s iconic sugar-cube houses and blue-domed churches from the air, and then glide back to the start point.
