Activity description

Book a helicopter tour in Santorini and capture the best views from above the famous volcanic Greek island!

Santorini is a picturesque island located in the southern Aegean Sea in Greece. The island is the result of a volcanic caldera, formed by a massive volcanic eruption around 3,600 years ago. This has created beautiful scenery across the island, including dramatic cliffs and colourful sandy beaches. Flying over Santorini in a helicopter is the perfect way to sightsee away from the crowds!

You'll begin the helicopter tour at the flying base in Santorini. There, you'll be greeted by an experienced helicopter pilot and go through a quick safety briefing. This is a private tour for a maximum of 5 passengers, perfect for small groups of friends or family! You can choose from a flight lasting 20 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour. Once everyone has boarded the helicopter, the adventure begins!

The trip starts in the south of the island and the first thing you will see is Megalochori and the famous vineyards. Afterwards, you will enjoy the views of Nea Kameni, the volcano and the famous Caldera before going to Thirassia. Picturesque whitewashed houses with blue and yellow doors can be seen in this area. After Thirassia, you will fly towards Oia, the famous village of Santorini. In certain cases, it's possible to fly a bit closer so you can capture the perfect selfie over Santorini. At the end of your trip, you will return to the base in the south of the island.

A helicopter ride in Santorini is the perfect way to discover the mesmerising views of the island and its iconic landscapes!

A faire au moins une fois dans ça vie. Le tour de l'île était incroyable. Les personnes qui nous ont accueilli, étaient très humaines et gentilles, ils nous ont proposé que l'une de nos amis qui n'avait pas pu prendre de place avec nous, monte quand même dans l'hélicoptère pour que l'on soit tous ensemble. Nous avons bien sûr été très touchée par ce geste. Mais même sans ça, ce tour en hélicoptère au dessus de Santorin et un incontournable, si vous avez les finances bien sûr.

The views are great and the pilot explains the most important things you see on the trip. You see Oia getting closer and then you go over it. You can clearly see Fira. You also go over the volcano.
