Are Domestic Flights or Helicopters Better Between Islands in Greece?

For distant hops (Athens–Crete, Athens–Rhodes), flights are fastest. Helicopters excel for short Aegean hops with sea views and time savings.

In peak season, helicopters bypass port queues and wind delays, but can be weather-dependent. Book well ahead and confirm landing permissions near villas or hotels.
