Itinerary
Stop 1
Begin your journey by soaring above Oia, a picturesque village famed for its whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and iconic sunsets. From the helicopter, you’ll experience the dazzling beauty of this cliffside town as it sits perched over the caldera, offering panoramic views of the endless Aegean Sea and the striking volcanic landscape.
Stop 2
Next, fly over the volcanic isles of Palea and Nea Kameni. The dark, rugged landscape offers a fascinating contrast to Santorini’s bright villages. These islands, formed by volcanic activity, give you a chance to see the island’s geological history up close, including the craters and lava fields.
Stop 3
Passing over Akrotiri, you’ll catch a glimpse of the famous archaeological site, where one of the Aegean’s ancient civilizations once lived. The surrounding red cliffs and beaches make this area stand out, offering both historical significance and natural beauty.
Stop 4
As you glide over Fira, Santorini’s capital, you’ll see its whitewashed buildings spread across the cliffs, with bustling streets, cafes, and shops below. From the sky, the city’s position on the edge of the caldera gives you a true sense of its dramatic location.
Stop 5
Before returning back to Oia soar above Imerovigli, a peaceful village known for its stunning views. From above, you’ll appreciate the calm, luxury feel of the area, with Skaros Rock standing nearby as a reminder of the island’s history. The village offers some of the best vantage points for views across Santorini.

Helicopter tours in Santorini, Greece
Santorini's whitewashed villages perched on the caldera's edge are one of the most photographed views in Greece, and a helicopter tour takes in the full curve of the volcanic bay at once.
When's the best time to fly?
April to June and September to October bring mild weather and fewer crowds than peak summer. July to August can bring strong Meltemi winds that occasionally affect flight schedules.
What should I bring?
Light clothing and sunglasses, since the sun reflecting off the white buildings and water is bright even on a mild day.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Santorini have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
