How to choose

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.

Frequently asked questions

How high do helicopter tours fly over Athens?
Exact cruising altitude varies by route and air traffic control clearances over the Attic basin. Pilots typically adjust altitude to give the best views of landmarks like the Acropolis and the Saronic Gulf coastline. Ask your operator directly before booking for specifics.
What is the most intense moment of the flight?
Most passengers flag the low-altitude pass along the Athenian Riviera as the highest-adrenaline stretch, with the coastline rushing beneath you at speed. Takeoff and sharp banking turns over the city also generate a strong sensation of exposure.
What is the price difference between the two tours, and why?
The gap is significant: 290 € with hoper versus 2,100 € with Bellavia. The hoper tour is a 1h shared flight, while Bellavia operates as a private charter with a flexible 30 to 50 min window, which explains the premium.
Do I need prior experience or physical fitness to book a helicopter tour?
No prior experience is required. Both operators list their tours as open to everybody, regardless of fitness level. If you have motion sensitivity, opt for calmer weather days and mention it to the crew.
Where exactly do I meet for each tour?
The hoper tour departs from Athens International Airport, General Aviation Terminal, in Spata. The Bellavia tour departs from Bellavia Heliport in Koropi. Both locations are east of central Athens, roughly 30 to 40 minutes by car from the city center.
