Wednesday, 12 February 20143 min read

Fed up with ferries crawling between Greek islands?

Hellenic Seaplanes will launch a network of seaplanes in 2014 to offer Greek island hopping.

Hellenic Seaplanes will operate its first 10 routes in 19-seater Canadian-made Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft, from mainland hubs in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras and Volos – with further island hubs in Crete, Santorini, Kos and Mylos.

By the end of 2014, Hellenic Seaplanes plans to establish dozens of hydrodromes, or floating piers, around the coastlines of Greece.
