Hellenic Seaplanes has achieved a milestone in Greek aviation by successfully conducting its inaugural test flight to Ermioni, Argolida. This event marks a significant leap in diversifying transportation options in Greece. The seaplane’s journey took it across the breathtaking Greek Riviera, flying over iconic sites such as Porto Heli, Kilada, Spetses, Hydra, and Poros. Passengers were treated to awe-inspiring views of the coastal landscapes that characterize the region. The flight culminated in a smooth landing at the port of Ermioni, a first-ever water landing for the area.

This test flight is a crucial step in Hellenic Seaplanes’ grand vision of establishing a comprehensive seaplane network across Greece. The initiative promises to connect some of the country’s most scenic and remote locales, enhancing accessibility for tourists and residents alike eager to explore Greece’s famed natural beauty. The strategic goal behind the flight is part of a broader effort by Hellenic Seaplanes to revive and expand seaplane operations nationwide.
The company plans to link Ermionida with major hubs such as Athens, the Aegean and Ionian islands, and significant Peloponnesian cities like Kalamata and Kyllini. This burgeoning seaplane network aims to bridge divisions between coastal areas, providing seamless travel and fostering closer connections across the region.
