All private helicopter arrivals and departures are from the uninhabited, rocky islet called Kivotos, just off the Bay of Molos on the north-western coast of Hydra. Once landed, passengers can be collected by water taxi for the 5-minute taxi ride into Hydra harbour.
There is no airport nor landing strip on Hydra where a plane or helicopter can land. The ONLY exception to this is for the emergency services who do have permission to land in the playing field in Hydra town.
Flying over the sea and Hydra is a breath-taking way to start or end your holiday!
AirLift offers a number of helicopters to air transfer visitors to and from Hydra and Athens AIA.
