The Regional Governor of the South Aegean, Georgios Chatzimarkos, inaugurated the flights of Cycladic, the first Greek inter-island airline that connects the islands of the Aegean, greekcitytimes.com reports.
Combining expertise with a love for the Greek islands and travel, the vision of the founding team of Cycladic has the principal goal of increasing the connections of the Greek islands easily and directly throughout the year for the convenience of permanent residents.
At the same time, the newly established air connection creates a special tourist product that redefines the concept of island-hopping in Greece.
Cycladic with its frequent, fast, and comfortable flights comes to provide a solution to the needs of the residents of the Aegean for easy travel between the islands twelve months a year.
At the same time, it introduces passengers to a new travel experience in the Aegean Sea, offering the possibility of charter flights for greater autonomy.
Cycladic’s original point-to-point network directly connects Santorini, Paros, Mykonos, Syros, Crete (Chania and Heraklion), and Rhodes with flights lasting from 20′ to 1 hour and 20′ ( depending on the destination), while from the summer Milos will be added to the destinations.
The flights will also take place in the winter months.
Its fleet consists of three new single-engine high-wing turboprop Cessna Grand Caravan 208BEX that provide an unforgettable flying experience. These new aircraft fly at lower altitudes than usual and have large windows that, along with abundant natural light, give the passengers unique images of the Aegean.
With respect for nature and sustainability as a priority, Cycladic’s aircraft are state-of-the-art, with high environmental standards, and are maintained according to the most important international standards, ensuring a lower carbon footprint for not burdening the planet.
