Aegean Airlines has launched new direct routes from Heraklion (Crete) to five Aegean island destinations, expanding its domestic network with a focus on island hopping connections. The routes operate from Heraklion International Airport (HER) and link Crete directly to islands that previously required a connection through Athens.
For visitors based in Crete, this means easier multi-destination travel within Greece without backtracking to the mainland. Travelers looking to combine a Crete stay with a visit to islands such as Mykonos, Santorini, or other Aegean destinations can now book direct flights, reducing both travel time and cost. Tickets are available through the Aegean Airlines website. This expansion reflects growing demand for flexible, island-to-island itineraries and is particularly relevant for tourists planning extended trips across the Greek islands this summer season.
