The ferry from Athens takes between about two and a half and five hours. Helicopters land at Mykonos airport or at approved helipads on the island.
Estimates for the whole helicopter, one way, from the same calculator that prices a booking on this site. Return trips on the same day usually cost less than two singles, because the aircraft waits instead of flying home empty.
| Class | Typical aircraft | Seats | In the air | Indicative range, one way |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy single engine | Robinson R66, Bell 505 | Up to 3 | 41 min | $2,590 - $3,890 |
| Premium single engine | Airbus H125, Bell 407 | Up to 5 | 37 min | $3,550 - $5,320 |
| Luxury twin engine | Airbus H135/H145, Leonardo AW109 | Up to 7 | 33 min | $5,420 - $8,130 |
Each figure covers the flying time, an allowance for the helicopter to reach your departure point, and landing fees at both ends. It is shown as a range of plus or minus 20% because operators quote the same sector differently, mostly with how far the helicopter has to fly to reach you. Ground transfers are extra. The operator confirms the final price for your date.
About 37 min in the air in a single-engine helicopter and 33 min in a twin, over 136 km. Allow a few minutes more for boarding and taxi.
Our estimate for the whole helicopter, one way, is $2,590 to $3,890 in a small single-engine helicopter, $3,550 to $5,320 in a larger single-engine and $5,420 to $8,130 in a twin-engine. The operator confirms the final price for your date.
Up to 3 in the small single-engine class, up to 5 in the larger single-engine class and up to 7 in a twin. Weight and luggage matter as much as seats, so give us both when you ask.
Soft bags travel best. As a guide, two small bags each in the smallest class and four cabin-size bags in the larger ones. Hard suitcases and golf or ski bags need to be declared, because the operator balances the load before the flight.
Most charter helicopters fly by day in good visibility. Night flights need a suitably equipped twin and landing sites approved for night use, and weather can move a departure. The operator makes that call on the day.
Pick the date, time and number of passengers and the estimate updates. Reserve it, and licensed operators quote on the trip.
Estimates are generated from the straight-line distance between the landing points, the class's cruise speed and hourly rate, a positioning allowance and landing fees. They are estimates, not quotations; the operating carrier sets the final price. Road and ferry times are typical and vary with traffic and season. Last reviewed 9 October 2026.
