The helicopter had departed at 12.30 from Aspropyrgos.

He landed at the helicopter in Marina to pick up four people to browse them over the islet of Patroclus and Sounio. Mykonos would be the final destination for the tourist flight.

Seconds after taking off the helicopter, for an unknown reason so far, began to lose height and sank.

According to the first indications and, according to experts, the helicopter’s decline may be due to overload, and the possibility of human error is also being investigated, and reportedly could carry three passengers plus the operator.

It immediately sounded an alarm in a port, fire brigade and EKAB.

Ambulances arrived at the point.

The 4 occupants and the pilot escaped with small scratches.

It is worth noting that the helicopter was not certified to be in a marina landing field, but had to take travelers from a hotel heliport in the area.
