The travel landscape in Greece is set to experience a significant transformation this year, with the launch of an exciting new collaboration!
Since 2018, Ferryscanner has helped customers browse routes, compare companies, and book ferry tickets. Now, Ferryscanner is joining forces with hoper, a company offering scheduled trips to the Greek island via helicopter. This strategic partnership brings together the convenience of booking your travel online and the innovation of offering travelers an unparalleled way to explore Greece’s stunning islands.
hoper: A New Era in Greek Air Travel
hoper is the first scheduled helicopter airline in Greece, and it is already making waves in the travel industry. With a mission to make helicopter flights widely accessible, hoper aims to reclaim time for travelers, providing them with the freedom to explore Greece’s islands like never before. The company operates a fleet of five Robinson helicopters, known for their reliability, safety, and comfort, and offers both scheduled and chartered flights.
hoper’s scheduled flights connect 14 popular destinations like Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos with some of Greece’s more remote islands, including Antiparos, Folegandros, Patmos, and Sifnos. These ‘heli hops’ are designed to be quick and convenient, turning what would be hours-long journeys by sea into mere minutes in the air.
Also, what sets this company apart from those already on the market, is that hoper allows passengers to book flights and individual seats without having to charter an entire helicopter.
Elevating the Greek Travel Experience
The partnership between Ferryscanner.com and hoper represents a significant evolution in the way travelers can experience Greece. By integrating helicopter travel into the ferry booking process, the collaboration allows travelers to seamlessly combine ferry and helicopter journeys. This new offering is perfect for those looking to maximize their time on the islands and enrich their island hopping experience, offering a blend of speed, convenience, and the opportunity to enjoy Greece’s breathtaking scenery from above.
Travelers can now book their entire journey—whether by sea or air—through a single, unified platform. This partnership not only simplifies the booking process but also opens up new possibilities for exploring Greece’s harder-to-reach destinations. Imagine starting your journey in Athens, boarding a ferry to Mykonos for a few days of lively beaches and vibrant nightlife. Once you’re ready to venture further, a swift helicopter hop transports you from Mykonos to Patmos in just 29 minutes, bypassing hours of additional ferry time and multiple routes, this allowing you to reach this serene island more effortlessly than ever.
With this Athens-to-Patmos itinerary, you get the best of both worlds: a relaxed sea voyage to enjoy the scenery en route to Mykonos, followed by a seamless aerial connection to the remote island of Patmos.
Known for its user-friendly platform, Ferryscanner has been a go-to resource for travelers seeking to navigate the intricate network of ferry routes that connect Greece’s many islands. It’s well established that this platform provides easy access to a wide range of ferry operators, offering comprehensive information on schedules, routes, and prices to help travelers make informed decisions. With the new addition of hoper’s helicopter routes, this search and booking engine becomes even more valuable for planning the perfect trip.
According to hoper CEO Demitris Memos, “Our vision is to make vertical mobility solutions a habit for people who value their time. With hoper, we turn hours into minutes, while massively elevating the travel experience.”
The Next Chapter of Greek Tourism
The collaboration between Ferryscanner and hoper is poised to set a new standard for travel in Greece. By offering a unique combination of ferry and helicopter travel, this partnership not only enhances the convenience and flexibility of island-hopping but also ensures that travelers can make the most of their time in Greece.
As hoper prepares to expand its network to include more mainland destinations in November 2024 the possibilities for exploring Greece are becoming even more exciting. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, this new collaboration promises to deliver a truly unforgettable travel experience, making it easier than ever to travel to the Greek Islands.
