New Routes
New routes = more ways to make your holidays suit who you are.
The team at Everymatic towers has been travelling back and forth from the UK to Greece for 40 years now. It used to be London to Athens and anything more adventurous required very early morning dashes to Piraeus and long ferry rides. There is something special about the early morning sun as you hit the Aegean but we’re all used to things happening quicker and easier these days. This summer the airline industry has given Greece a seal of approval by expanding its network and options for budgets big and small. Chania airport in Crete seems to be the new hot favourite with both Ryanair choosing it as one of its main hubs and Easyjet adding it to its existing Heraklion route. That’s not all though:
- BA now flies direct to Mykonos and Santorini.
- Ryanair finally offers direct flights from airports across the UK (from Bournemouth and Bristol to Glasgow and Edinburgh) to islands in the Aegean and Ionian, as well as Athens and Thessaloniki.
- Easyjet has added even more Greek destinations, including Kalamata, a great way to experience the South West of the Peloponnese.
- The national Greek carrier, Aegean, is now flying out of London, Birmingham and Manchester and connects via Athens to a whole list of destinations across Greece.
This current list doesn’t even include package tour operators who fly to amazing islands like Lesvos and whose flights you can buy tickets on, whether you choose your own accommodation or not.
Things are looking up all around as the same route expansion is taking place in most European countries towards Greece. Furthermore, what is really exciting is the new Hellenic Sea Planes venture, a company with a plan to allow easier access to many harder to reach destinations. This is something we will follow closely as it will appeal to many Everymatic customers as a really unique way to experience the Greek coastline.
