About The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort
The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, anchors one of Greece's most celebrated coastal estates at Costa Navarino in Messinia, a region of ancient olive groves, unspoiled beaches, and championship golf. A private flight from Athens takes roughly 62 minutes, placing guests above the Peloponnesian coastline before descending directly onto the resort's own helipad — no port transfers, no winding mountain roads. For travellers arriving from the Cyclades, the aerial perspective shifts from Aegean blue to Ionian green across a 90-to-95-minute charter flight from Mykonos or Santorini. With 321 rooms and suites spread across a landscape resort of rare scale, The Romanos rewards the kind of unhurried arrival that a helicopter transfer naturally provides. HeliGreece coordinates the full booking — aircraft, timing, and ground liaison with the property — so the journey from wheels-up to resort check-in is as considered as the stay itself.
Why choose The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort
Costa Navarino sits at the southwestern tip of the Peloponnese, well beyond the reach of Greece's island ferry network and several hours by road from Athens. A helicopter rental removes that distance entirely, converting a tiring overland journey into a scenic private flight above the Ionian coast. For guests with limited time — or those combining a Peloponnese stay with an island itinerary — aerial travel is the only practical way to reach The Romanos without sacrificing a full day of holiday.
Helicopter transfer
Upon arrival at The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, guests land directly on the property's dedicated helipad, stepping onto the estate without intermediary transfers or public roads. The resort's scale — 321 rooms and suites set within a sweeping coastal landscape — means the helipad sits within the wider grounds, and the transition from aircraft to reception is handled entirely within the property's own environment. It is a genuinely seamless introduction to one of the Peloponnese's most refined addresses.
Why fly private instead of the ferry
The road journey from Athens to Costa Navarino runs to roughly three and a half hours under ideal conditions — longer with summer traffic through the Peloponnese. A charter flight from Athens covers the same distance in approximately 62 minutes, and from Mykonos or Santorini the flight time sits around 90 to 95 minutes, far shorter than any surface alternative involving ferries and connecting drives. Beyond pure time savings, the approach by private aviation delivers an unobstructed view of the Navarino Bay coastline — a fitting first impression of a resort built around landscape and light.
Best time to visit
Messinia enjoys one of Greece's longest warm seasons, with reliable sunshine from April through October. May and June offer mild temperatures and uncrowded beaches before peak summer, while September and October bring settled flying conditions and a quieter resort atmosphere. July and August are ideal for guests combining a Costa Navarino stay with island hopping, as flight connections to Mykonos or Santorini remain straightforward. Winter months are calm and green, though some resort facilities operate on reduced schedules.
