Private Helicopter Charter Athens to Serifos

Serifos is one of the few islands in the Cyclades that has resisted the polish of mass tourism. Its whitewashed hilltop Chora, iron-red cliffs, and secluded beaches like Livadi and Psili Ammos draw travellers who know exactly what they want — and prefer to avoid the crowds that follow well-worn paths. Getting there, however, has always been the trade-off: the ferry from Piraeus takes between two and four hours depending on the service.

A private helicopter charter with Fly G Aviation covers the same distance in around 35 minutes. You depart from our private helipad in Glyfada, Athens, on your own schedule, and arrive directly on the island — no connections, no waiting rooms, no concessions to anyone else's timeline.

Aircraft & Technical Specifications

Fly G Aviation is the exclusive Greek operator of two Airbus helicopter models, both well suited to Aegean charter flights. Depending on group size and preferences, you can choose between:

Both aircraft offer certified twin-engine reliability, full air conditioning, panoramic windows, and a VIP cabin configuration. The AS355 Twin Jet, in particular, is one of the most capable light twin helicopters in active service — a reassuring choice for extended overwater flying. For families or groups travelling with luggage, the H135's larger capacity and slightly higher cruise speed make it the natural pick.

What the Charter Includes

The experience begins well before take-off. Fly G Aviation handles every operational detail: flight plan filing, weather monitoring, coordination with local heliport authorities, and ground transfers to the departure helipad. There are no fixed schedules — departure times are arranged around you.

On board, the crew holds the highest Greek civil aviation certifications. Each flight is operated under EASA standards, with full safety briefings and equipment checks completed before every sector. For groups requiring a seamless door-to-door arrangement, the team can also coordinate ground transport on the Serifos side.

If your trip to Serifos is part of a wider itinerary — combining island visits with business meetings elsewhere in Europe, for instance — Fly G Aviation's private jet fleet (Falcon 7X, Embraer Legacy 600, Citation XLS+) handles domestic and international legs with equal ease. The company also operates aeromedical and air ambulance services across Greece for urgent medical transport.

Why Serifos

Part of what makes Serifos worth the journey is precisely what makes the ferry crossing tiresome: its relative inaccessibility. The island sees a fraction of the visitor numbers that Mykonos or Paros attract, and the difference shows. The Chora sits dramatically on a rocky summit above the port, its cubic houses and windmills unchanged in outline for centuries. The beaches — Psili Ammos, Agios Sostis, Vagia — remain uncrowded even at the height of summer.

Arriving by helicopter means bypassing the one thing that keeps Serifos quiet: the inconvenience of getting there. You arrive on the island's own terms, not the ferry company's.
