Psarou Beach Transfer 2026

The bay is small enough that everyone sees you come in. After 20 summers I've tried every method - including the 6:30 AM taxi with bouzouki and the helicopter that costs more than my first car. Here's the technical breakdown.

1. Helicopter – The Statement Arrival

The private Nammos helipad sits directly behind Nammos Village – coordinates 37.408°N, 25.350°E – approximately 50-70 metres from the sand. Flight time from Athens: 35 minutes. From Santorini: 20-25 minutes at €2,800 one way.

Aircraft typically used: Bell 429 / AW109 (6 passengers). Peak season (July-August) pricing: €3,800-5,200. Shoulder season (May-June / September): €3,200-4,200.

The protocol:

The helipad is private – owned and controlled by Nammos. You do not land without a pre-arranged reservation through Nammos directly or a vetted operator (Mykonos Helicopters / Magna Aviation / Aegean VIP). Call first. Always. Showing up unannounced is not a power move – it's a rejection.

Sequence: Land – 30-second walk – champagne bed. From wheels-down to horizontal: under 3 minutes. It looks exactly like a film. It costs like a small car. Both things are true simultaneously.

2. Private Yacht – The Real Psarou Arrival

Anchor in the bay. Run tenders to Nammos or Cavo. Wake up to the horseshoe. This is the arrival that requires no airport, no taxi queue, no transfer - just the sound of your anchor chain and 25-30 neighbouring superyachts doing the same thing.

Anchorage technical data:

• Depth: 8-25 m
• Max practical LOA: 110-120 m
• Scope: 5-7:1 recommended
• Minimum distance from shore: 50-70 m (Port Police enforced)
• Peak capacity: 25-35 yachts simultaneously
• Tender service: 50+ daily shuttles at peak season

3. Private Transfer – The Intelligent Default

Airport (JMK) → Psarou: €70-110 (V-Class / Mercedes, 4-7 pax)

For most people arriving by air, this is the correct answer. Pre-booked, door-to-door, no taxi queue, luggage handled.
