Helicopter Flights: Things to Know
- Helicopter flights between Mykonos and Santorini are magical. Book early.
- Cost of helicopter flights: Not inexpensive. Prices begin at about €600/per person.
- The Mykonos to Santorini and Santorini to Mykonos ferries provide by far the most cost-effective option for traveling between the two islands.
- There is no real difference between flying from Mykonos to Santorini or Santorini to Mykonos. Though viewing Santorini’s caldera for the initial time from the sky is somewhat more remarkable.
- Exceptional helicopter sightseeing excursions of the islands of Santorini and Mykonos are also available for those interested. Some options include touring Santorini from above or a similarly thrilling experience over Mykonos if ground transportation between the islands is not required.
- If given the option to only participate in a helicopter excursion or a Santorini boat tour of the caldera, I would elect for the boat tour. Both experiences are worthwhile though the boat tours provide more time and closer access to the caldera cliffs.
How To Book Helicopter Flights between Mykonos and Santorini

A helicopter provides the fastest, simplest, and most thrilling way to travel between Mykonos and Santorini (or vice versa) while offering amazing views of both islands. Taking a tour by helicopter of Santorini or Mykonos is a highlight of visiting the Greek islands. If you take a helicopter between the two islands, you save yourself a ferry journey and enjoy an incredible helicopter expedition. It`s essentially obtaining two activities in one. The flight takes around 40 minutes onboard a deluxe twin-engine helicopter (the helicopter size varies depending on group size).
Plan helicopter transfers beforehand as capacity can fill from June through September. Helicopter transportation was available in both directions – first pick the number of people and then see two options to book the route: from Mykonos to Santorini or Santorini to Mykonos. (Initial helicopter pricing began around 600€ per individual for the Mykonos to Santorini trip. Not a small sum, but if budgeted it guarantees saving time, hassle while enjoying an unforgettable experience. Flights include airport pickups at hotels.)
