Hellenic Seaplanes has successfully completed its inaugural test flight to Ermioni, Argolida, marking a significant step forward in alternative modes of transportation in Greece. The seaplane flew over the Greek Riviera, passing iconic destinations such as Porto Heli, Kilada, Spetses, Hydra, and Poros, offering passengers breathtaking views of the coastal landscapes that define the region. The flight concluded with a smooth landing in the port of Ermioni, marking the first water landing in the area.

What Is the Strategic Goal Behind the Flight?

The flight is part of Hellenic Seaplanes’ broader strategy to revive seaplane operations in Greece. The company aims to connect Ermionida with major destinations like Athens, the Aegean and Ionian islands, and important Peloponnesian hubs such as Kalamata and Kyllini. This seaplane network is designed to bridge gaps between coastal areas, offering a faster and more convenient travel option.

How Did the First Passengers Experience the Flight?

A group of company executives were onboard for the test flight and were treated to a breathtaking aerial tour of the region’s natural landscapes. The scenic beaches, crystal-clear waters, and charming villages offered an unforgettable experience, highlighting the added value of seaplane travel as more than just transportation—it’s a visual feast.

What is the Future Vision for Hellenic Seaplanes?

Hellenic Seaplanes is moving forward with its ambitious plan to create a nationwide seaplane network that will transform transportation across Greece. This initiative will connect some of the country’s most beautiful and remote regions, making it easier for tourists and locals alike to explore the stunning landscapes that Greece is known for. The success of this first flight is a promising start to a bold new chapter in Greek transportation.

 

With the first test flight in the books, Hellenic Seaplanes has set the stage for a modern, eco-friendly travel solution that not only connects people but also provides a unique and scenic travel experience.
