Two operators, two very different price points: hoper charges 290 € for a 1h flight over Athens and its Riviera, while Bellavia starts at 2,100 € for a 30 to 50 min tour departing from Koropi. The gap reflects route scope, aircraft type and exclusivity rather than duration alone. Hoper is the obvious entry point if you want a solid aerial perspective of the Attica coastline without a premium price tag. Bellavia targets private charters looking for a tailored, high-end experience. Both tours are open to all fitness levels, spoken in Greek and English. Start with hoper if budget is a factor. Go Bellavia if you want full exclusivity and a flexible flight window.

Equipment
Both tours welcome all fitness levels, so no specialist gear is needed. Wear close-fitting layers (the cabin can get cold at altitude), secure loose items like scarves and caps before boarding, and bring sunglasses for unobstructed views through the helicopter windows.
Getting there
The hoper tour meets at Athens International Airport, General Aviation Terminal in Spata, while the Bellavia tour departs from Bellavia Heliport in Koropi, both reachable in roughly 30 to 40 minutes by car or taxi from central Athens.
