Our goal is to bring Greek islands and coastal areas closer together with a modern, sustainable, and safe means of transport. The seaplane experience combines comfort and speed, offering passengers the opportunity to enjoy short and seamless connections. Ermionida, with its natural beauty and rich tourism character, is an ideal destination to showcase this unique experience.”
