Athens to Syros: 105 km, about 33 minutes – closer to Athens than any other island on this list. On a sector this short the helicopter, available on request, is a natural comparison with fixed wing. The fixed-wing choice is set by 1,080 m of asphalt on runway 18/36: a turboprop of the PC-12 or King Air class, with a jet only on an operator's confirmation. Written options inside 30 minutes; +357 95 119759, 24/7.
The nearest of these islands to Athens, reached in about 33 minutes by turboprop, or by helicopter on request.
REQUEST A QUOTEA 33-minute sector where the arrival runway, not the distance, does the choosing. Syros has 1,080 m of asphalt – five metres more than Milos and 320 m less than Paros.
Airport codes and runway lengths: OurAirports open data (airports and runways), retrieved 3 October 2026. Whether a particular aeroplane can be offered is confirmed against the specific type and the specific day rather than against a general rule, and we say so before a booking rather than after it.
One end that never decides anything on this route and one that decides everything.
| Field | Codes | Role on this route | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Athens Eleftherios Venizelos | ATH / LGAV | Departure | Full business-aviation handling and no limit on the aircraft. Nothing about the departure narrows the choice; the island end does all of that. |
| Syros | JSY / LGSO | Arrival | Runway 18/36, 1,080 m, asphalt. The normal answer is a turboprop of the PC-12 or King Air class; a jet is the exception, confirmed for a type and a day or not offered. |
| Mykonos | JMK / LGMK | Larger-cabin alternative | Runway 1,902 m, 136 km from Athens and about 35 minutes. The field for a party that needs a jet cabin, with the onward stretch to Syros by sea or by helicopter on request. Mykonos route page. |
On a 105 km sector off 1,080 m of asphalt, the list is short and practical: a turboprop, a helicopter on request, and a jet only where it is confirmed rather than hoped for.
The normal fixed-wing answer for a 1,080 m runway. Sized to small parties; tell us the luggage at the same time as the headcount.
The fleet ›The other honest answer on a 105 km sector, independent of runway length. Offered in writing against your date; no helicopter price is published here.
Helicopters ›A jet on 1,080 m is a question for the specific type and day, not a default. We put it to you as a question.
Ask about a jet ›Price on request. We do not print a starting figure for Athens to Syros, and we would rather explain that than fill the space.
The runway on Syros is 1,080 m, 320 m shorter than at Paros, where our printed floor is built on a light-jet rate. Here a jet is only a possibility to be confirmed, so that floor would not describe the aircraft you would actually fly. We have no published turboprop-class starting rate from a source we would reprint, and we do not invent figures.
Two things set the real figure: the class left by the runway (turboprop, or helicopter on request) and where that aircraft spends the night before. On a 33-minute sector, any empty positioning flight is a large part of the bill.
