New planes for Island hoppers

Tired of overcrowded ferries and the scramble for the last spot of shade? From April 2014, Hellenic Seaplanes (www.hellenic-seaplanes.com) offer new island routes, cutting travel times from hours – even days, in some cases – to minutes.

Hellenic Seaplanes will operate its first ten routes in 19-seater Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft from mainland hubs in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and Volos – with further island hubs in Crete, Santorini, Kos, and Mylos. These are travel game-changers; bringing out-of-the-way islands such as Patmos and Skopelos within easy reach.

Suited to rugged coasts and islands, they operate safely in high winds when ferries links are often cancelled.
 
By the end of 2014, they plan to establish a hundred hydrodromes, or floating piers, around the coastlines of Greece.
