Helicopter Flight over Athens and its Riviera

Discover the Greek capital from above with a fun and comfortable helicopter flight over Athens and its Riviera! Athens is the capital of the Greece we know today, but it was also the heart of Ancient Greece and landmarks from as far as the 5th century BC still preside over the city and make it a fantastic destination for history and travel enthusiasts alike. The city also has its fair share of modern buildings and wonders, as well as some incredible natural marvels not to be missed. One of these is the Athenian Riviera, the coastal area in the southern suburbs of the city, which is lined by the Saronic Gulf's turquoise waters and stretches down to the southernmost point of Attica.

On the day of your helicopter flight over Athens, you'll need to arrive at the meeting point at the city's main airport at least 30 minutes before your departure time. There, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will welcome you warmly and check your ID for the flight (please bring a physical copy). While they check you in, they will plan for the weight distribution on the helicopter, since there needs to be a good balance for the helicopter to fly well. This means that you will not be able to choose your seat, but with 3 to 4 seats per helicopter, it shouldn't be a big deal. You'll also receive a safety briefing, so you know how the experience works and what to do to have a great time.

Following that, it's time to board the helicopter! You'll take off the ground and marvel at the world getting smaller beneath you. First, you'll head toward the historic Ellinko area, and its blossoming tower, which is poised to become Athens' tallest building. Next, it's time to head to central Athens for a panoramic view of the historic quarters and how they mix with modern life. You'll marvel at the Acropolis and the Parthenon in the distance wth a view that even the ancient Greeks never got. You'll then head to Lycabettus Hill, which is the highest natural point in the city with stunning green vegetation and the Church of Saint George at its peak. Finally, you will head south toward the Athens Riviera, and enjoy the contrast of the turquoise waters with the coastline and its marinas and coastal parks before returning to the airport for the end of the experience.
