ATHENS HISTORIC CENTRE SIGHTSEEING TOUR
Departing from Athens Int. Airport, this scenic helicopter flight will take you over Central Athens.
After departure, you will witness the countryside to gradually build up and transform into the outskirts of one of the most historic cities in the world.
Flying over and passing Mount Hymettus you will witness the panoramic landscape of the attic basin. The city lies between mountains ending in the sea and one of the biggest ports in Europe: the port of Piraeus. Some of the famous landmarks you will have the opportunity to see from a bird’s-eye view are the Olympic Complex, the Acropolis and Parthenon, the Panathenaic Stadium and the Port of Piraeus.
The duration of the tour is approx. 35 minutes.
ATHENS CITY & SARONIC GULF SIGHTSEEING TOUR
This tour also starts from Athens Int. Airport following the same route as the Historic Centre Tour of Athens. However, as soon as you reach the port of Piraeus that is when the most beautiful part of the tour starts. Flying on a relatively lower altitude over the sea you will have the chance to view the charm of the Saronic Gulf islands and the famous ancient temple of Aphaia Athena located at Aegina island.
The duration of the tour is approx. 60 minutes.
ATHENS RIVIERA & CAPE SOUNIO SIGHTSEEING TOUR
Right after passing the Centre of the city, we are having the same checkpoint: the port of Piraeus, but this time the helicopter will head to the East part of Attica.
You will fly over the coast of the Athens Riviera viewing the beauty of the sandy and rocky beaches and experiencing the famous turquoise color of the waters Greece is famous for. Just before our flight ends landing at Athens Int. Airport, the most iconic sight of the tour will appear in front of you. The Ancient Temple of Poseidon dominates the southernmost tip of Attica, where the horizon meets the Aegean Sea. Perched on the craggy rocks of Cape Sounio, the temple is enveloped in myth and historic facts dated from antiquity until the present times.
The duration of the tour is approx. 60 minutes.
THE ABSOLUTE SIGHTSEEING TOUR
Combining all the above sights and landmarks this is the complete tour of Athens and Attica region. Departing from Athens Int. Airport the helicopter heads on a different direction this time, starting from Sounio and the Temple of Poseidon. Our route continues by flying over the Athens Riviera and just before reaching the port of Piraeus the helicopter will fly towards the sea and the Saronic Gulf. You will have the opportunity to view from above the islands of Spetses, Hydra, Poros and Aegina. On the way back our tour continues by flying over the port of Piraeus and the city of Athens just before landing at Athens Int. Airport.
The duration of the tour is approx. 90 minutes.
