Private Helicopter Charter • Athens to Andros
Reach Andros in approximately 35 minutes aboard a twin-engine Airbus helicopter. Private charter flights from Athens start from €4,600 one way, inclusive of VAT.
The fastest way to travel from Athens to Andros is by private helicopter charter. A direct flight with Fly G Aviation takes approximately 35 minutes, compared with a minimum of two to three hours by ferry including travel to the port. Fly G Aviation brings more than 30 years of aviation experience and places the highest priority on operational safety and reliability on every flight.
Of all the Cyclades, Andros possesses a quiet confidence that sets it apart. Closest to the Attic mainland yet perpetually distinct in character, this is an island of neoclassical mansions, cool mountain springs, and a coastline that rewards the unhurried traveller with absolute seclusion. For generations, Athenian shipowning families have made Andros their summer retreat precisely because it resists the mass-market currents that have reshaped its southern neighbours. A private helicopter charter with Fly G Aviation honours that spirit — you arrive not as a passenger, but as a guest.
The ferry crossing from Rafina takes a minimum of two hours, and that assumes no delays, no morning queues, and no wasted hours reaching the port from central Athens. By private helicopter from our helipad, located just 15 minutes from Athens International Airport, you are over the Aegean within moments of departure and touching down on Andros in approximately 35 minutes. The efficiency is absolute; the experience, unrivalled.
Fly G Aviation provides private helicopter transfers to Andros using modern twin-engine Airbus helicopters designed for safe and comfortable over-water operations across the Aegean Sea. With more than 30 years of experience in aviation, and an unwavering commitment to safety on every flight, the company is the trusted choice for discerning travellers seeking fast, private, and reliable connections between Athens and the Greek islands.
