Signature Aviation Spring 2025

ATHENS FROM ABOVE ATHENS, GREECE Sitting prettily on the Athens Riviera, the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens looks out over the glittering Aegean Sea and is around a half-hour away from the buzzing city center — and the Acropolis is just a short drive away. Or, you could take the scenic route and take to the skies in a helicopter. The resort o ff ers two heli-tours, one soaring over some of the city’s famous landmarks including the 2,300-year-old Panathenaic Stadium, the aforementioned Acropolis and the Temple of Poseidon that has stood on Cape Sounion since the 5th century BC. The other o ff ering takes guests over the Unesco World Heritage site of Meteora, which translates to ‘suspended in air.’ Meteora’s sandstone pillars and rock formations reach up to 1,300 ft high. Crowning these towering cli ff s are centuries-old monasteries that date back to the 11th century and were once only accessible by rope ladders. From $7,624 per person.
