hoper, Greece’s first commercial scheduled-helicopter service, has teamed up with travel agents, booking platforms, hotel and destination management companies as well as travel advisor networks to enhance accessibility and flexibility when getting around the Greek islands. The innovative company, which launched in 2024, is using advanced technology and systems to book scheduled daily helicopter tickets. Based out of Athens, Santorini and Mykonos, hoper is currently serving 15 destinations including Antiparos, Syros, Milos, Patmos, and off-the-beaten track, Anafi island.
Through a wide network of local and international partners and DMCs such as Eclectic Greece by Kyvernitis Travel and Embark Beyond, hoper is providing an added-value premium service and supports travel agents in elevating their offering, creating bespoke itineraries and personalised unique travel propositions for their clients. Additionally, hoper works directly with selected luxury hotels and resorts, such as Kalesma Mykonos and Verina Sifnos enhancing guest access to the islands and overall holiday experience.
“I am immensely proud to support hoper’s groundbreaking approach to transforming travel in Greece,” says George Kyvernitis, CEO of Kyvernitis Group. In a market where traditional destinations are often characterized by short distances and challenging accessibility, hoper’s innovative, scheduled-helicopter service is truly a game-changer. By harnessing cutting-edge technology and forging strategic partnerships across travel agencies, booking platforms, and destination management companies, hoper is not only simplifying the journey between our iconic islands but also elevating the overall travel experience”.
“Furthermore, Eclectic Greece, our DMC division, which has strong connections within mid-to-high end markets—especially in the United States—is keenly focused on enhancing traditional island hopping. We see the integration of hoper’s service as a vital evolution in creating bespoke itineraries and personalized travel propositions, reinforcing our commitment to quality and innovation. We believe that hoper is here to change the way we access our traditional destinations, setting a new benchmark for premium travel experiences in Greece.”
hoper has also joined forces with booking platforms such as Ferryscanner, offering convenience and simplifying the customer’s booking process, the same way a traveler would book a ferry. Additionally, the exclusive partnership between hoper and Liknoss –one of the leading and fastest growing Ferry Ticket Distribution Companies in Europe – further supports a smooth booking experience connecting hoper with even more operators and travel agents, whilst providing hotels with a back-end booking platform for their guests. hoper will soon be offering bookable tickets on Viator – the leading marketplace for travel experiences, reaching even more customers worldwide.
