Mayor Nikitas Tsampalakis stated:<\/span>
\n“Today, Patmos takes a historic step forward. I have the honor of being the first passenger on the first sea plane flight\u2026 Patmos deserves modern solutions and better connectivity with the rest of Greece.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Tsampalakis, who has served as mayor since 2024, welcomed the initiative as a catalyst for change on the island, injecting new energy into maritime transportation and tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe sea plane is currently the safest mode of air travel available. International statistics show a clear advantage in terms of safety, and this remains our absolute priority. We want every passenger to feel completely secure on every flight,\u201d emphasized Nicolas Charalambous, President and CEO of Hellenic Seaplanes.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPatmos is a strategic point in our network across the Southern Aegean. Our goal is to establish regular daily routes connecting the island with Athens, Leros, Samos, and other destinations, addressing a real transportation need that we are already observing in the market,\u201d he noted, underlining the future potential of the initiative.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding ticket pricing, Mr. Charalambous added:<\/span>
\n\u201cHellenic Seaplanes is introducing a new travel experience with a particularly affordable pricing policy. For instance, the Athens\u2013Patmos route is expected to cost approximately \u20ac150<\/strong>, while inter-island flights, such as to Samos or Leros, will range around \u20ac50\u201360<\/strong>. We want these flights to be accessible to more travelers\u2014not a luxury for the few.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
