Athens from Above: A Helicopter Journey

Lift off from the ordinary and experience Athens as few ever have—from the privileged vantage point of the sky. This one-day helicopter tour offers a breathtaking perspective on the city’s iconic landmarks, ancient history, and stunning coastline, all unfolding beneath you like a living map.

Soar above the heart of Athens, where the Acropolis rises in marble majesty, its temples and treasures visible in their entirety from this unparalleled height. Gaze down upon Lycabettus Hill, the highest point in the city, and circle the Kallimarmaron Stadium; the gleaming white marble venue where the first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896. From above, the city’s ancient grid and modern sprawl reveal themselves in fascinating harmony.

Your journey then carries you along the Athenian Riviera, where the sparkling Saronic Gulf meets the Attic coastline. Glide over Glyfada’s cosmopolitan charm, the turquoise waters of Vouliagmeni Lake, and the serene beaches of Varkiza. Continue south to Cape Sounion, where the Temple of Poseidon stands sentinel upon its cliff; a vision of ancient devotion framed by the endless sea.

Choose your adventure: a 30-minute tour offering the essential highlights, or a full hour that allows for deeper exploration and more time to capture these unforgettable sights. Each moment presents a photograph waiting to be taken, a memory waiting to be made.

Return to earth with a new understanding of Athens: its scale, its beauty, its timeless place where land meets sea and history meets sky
