With endless stretches of golden sands lapped by crystal-clear waters, picturesque streets filled with ancient historic sites and a local cuisine that’s guaranteed to make anyone’s mouth water, it’s no wonder flights to Greece are so popular. The birthplace of democracy, Greece is rich in history and culture, with its world-famous landmarks attracting visitors from all over the world. But there’s more to the country than just that. From its picture-perfect islands to its quaint sleepy villages and modern, cosmopolitan cities, here’s why you should book tickets to Greece.
As a popular tourist destination, it’s easy to find flights to Greece from all over the world. You can fly to Greece from many cities including London and New York.

Flights to Thessaloniki are also popular, for its rich history, pretty promenade and abundance of shops, bars and restaurants. Then, there’s the islands. Home to over 200 inhabited islands, many tourists book flights to Greece to experience the likes of Mykonos, Santorini, Corfu, Zante, Crete and Rhodes…the list goes on.
