Helicopter Charter Cost in Greece
Helicopter charter in Greece is priced by aircraft category, sector time between islands, positioning legs and landing permits. Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Antiparos, Crete and Corfu are the busiest hubs, with July–September carrying peak demand across the Cyclades.

How to estimate your mission cost
Uses the free Charter Budget & Cost Planner
- 1
Confirm route and passenger count
Open the planner, pick your origin (usually Athens LGAT or a yacht helipad) and each island stop. Passenger and luggage load decides whether a light twin is enough or a medium/heavy twin is required.
- 2
Pick the right aircraft class
Short Cycladic hops fit a light twin. Athens–Santorini and yacht groups of 6+ usually need a medium twin. Corporate groups of 8–10 with luggage typically move to a heavy twin.
- 3
Add landing and handling fees
Private helipads on Mykonos, Paros and yacht platforms carry landing and handling charges. The planner has a dedicated line so nothing is missed.
- 4
Send to SkyMatch for operator quotes
Submit the mission and receive comparable quotes from independent Greek-licensed operators. Availability, operational compliance and documentation are confirmed by the operator, not by SkyMatch.
Frequently asked questions — Greece
How much is Athens to Mykonos by helicopter?
Typical light-twin pricing is in season; medium twins with more baggage capacity run.
Can I land directly on a yacht in Greece?
Only on certified yacht helidecks. Otherwise the closest permitted helipad is used and a tender or car transfer is arranged. The planner accounts for handling both sides.
Are empty-leg discounts available in Greece?
Yes, primarily on Athens ↔ Mykonos / Santorini repositioning legs. Availability is subject to operator schedules and cannot be guaranteed.
