Back to newsAccording to data from travel search engine Skyscanner, German tourists are returning to package holidays in large numbers, with Crete emerging as one of the top destinations alongside Rhodes and Corfu. The trend signals strong demand from the German market for Greek island holidays, making Crete one of the most searched destinations among German travelers this season. For visitors planning a trip, this increased demand means earlier booking is advisable, particularly for package deals combining flights and accommodation. Popular areas such as Heraklion, Chania, and Rethymno are likely to see higher occupancy rates during peak summer months. Travelers are encouraged to secure reservations well in advance to access better pricing and availability, especially for July and August, when German tourist arrivals traditionally peak.
