Mykonos to Antiparos
Helicopter Charter

About 10 to 20 minutes depending on the helicopter and the wind. The sector is 27 nautical miles south-west from the Mykonos airport pad, across the channel to Paros, over the island and down onto the Antiparos heliport or a villa pad on the far side of the strait.

Yes. Antiparos to Mykonos is the same fifteen-minute hop flown north-east, and it is how a villa week usually ends, with the helicopter collecting the party at the heliport or the villa pad and putting them on the Mykonos airport pad for the jet. The desk quotes the return with the outbound or on its own.

From the helicopter pad at Mykonos Airport if a jet has just dropped you, inside the forty minutes the aircraft has on the ground. From a beach club or hotel pad at Ornos, Kalo Livadi or Scorpios if you are already on Mykonos, once the venue has approved the lift, which the desk arranges with the booking.

At the municipal heliport, or at a villa pad with the owner's approval, which the desk secures before it quotes. If neither is available for the day, the fallback is Paros National across the strait, with the car to Pounta and the seven-minute boat to Antiparos. Tell the desk which villa and it confirms the landing.

No. The sea route is a catamaran from Mykonos to Parikia on Paros, about 35 minutes on the fastest and up to two and a half hours on the conventional ferries, then a taxi across Paros to Pounta and the seven-minute car ferry over the strait, which runs roughly every half hour through the summer. The helicopter does the whole thing in about fifteen minutes.

The helicopter lands you on the island; the cave is a short drive into the hills and Despotiko is a boat trip from Agios Georgios on the south coast. The aircraft can wait on the heliport for the day and bring you back to Mykonos before sunset, and the desk prices the day as the pair of legs.

A single-engine H130 or H125 class for a couple or a family of four with light luggage, the natural aircraft on a hop this short. A twin-engine H145, H135 or AW109 class for six to eight with a week's bags. For a larger group the desk can fly a King Air into Paros National and finish by car and the Pounta boat.

Yes, inside daylight. The helicopter waits on the municipal heliport or repositions across to Paros while you spend the day on the island, and the desk prices it as the pair of legs with the waiting time. It plans the return lift with a margin before sunset, because helicopters on the islands do not fly after dark.

The helicopter type, whether it is a one-way drop or a day trip with waiting, the landings and any villa pad or beach club fees at either end, and the dates against July and August when the villas are full and the pad approvals take longest. We tell you what the quote covers before you book.

No. Helicopters on the Greek islands operate sunrise to sunset. A late airline arrival into Mykonos can miss the last lift, so tell the desk your arrival time and it plans around it. On this sector the fallback is real: the Pounta boat to Antiparos runs late into the night in summer, so the desk can route a late passenger by ferry to Paros and across by road and water.

Light luggage for four on a single-engine helicopter, more for six to eight on a twin-engine. The allowance is by weight rather than by bag count, so give the desk passenger and bag weights with the booking. For a villa week with heavy bags the desk sometimes sends the luggage by car and boat from Paros and the passengers by helicopter.

Four to six weeks in July and August, when the helicopters out of Mykonos are spoken for, the villa pad approvals take longest and the Mykonos drop-off slot for the jet can only be requested 14 days out. A few days is comfortable in June and September, and the municipal heliport removes the approval wait when a villa pad is not needed.
