Helicopter airline hoper expands helicopter routes and private charters in Greece, redefining domestic air travel with speed, flexibility, and access to iconic destinations. As Greece’s first helicopter airline, hoper is reshaping connectivity between the mainland and the islands through innovation and strategic partnerships.
After just one year of operations, the airline has significantly broadened its network, adding new destinations, launching on-demand private services, and partnering with key travel platforms. The result: faster access to luxury resorts, hidden islands, and personalized travel experiences across the country.

Costa Navarino is renowned for its environmentally conscious development and luxury hospitality, housing four five-star resorts including The Westin Resort and the Mandarin Oriental. The area is also home to award-winning golf courses, archaeological landmarks like Ancient Messini and the Palace of Nestor, and immersive cultural experiences set against pristine beaches.
