Experience Santorini Sunset by Helicopter

Itinerary

Oia
Pass by

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.

Nea Kameni
Pass by

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.

Akrotiri
Pass by

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.

Fira
Pass by

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.

Imerovigli
Pass by

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.
