Alexandroupoli Airport Opens Direct Summer Flights to Crete

Friday, 19 June 2026/SourceGoogle News/1 min read
Alexandroupoli's Democritus Airport has launched its summer flight schedule, with new seasonal routes now including direct connections to Crete. The premiere of these summer flights marks increased domestic air connectivity between northeastern Greece and Crete for the 2026 season, alongside a new route to Mytilene on Lesbos. Travelers from the Thrace and Evros regions can now reach Crete more directly without routing through Athens. This added capacity is part of a broader expansion of domestic summer routes across Greek regional airports. Visitors planning to combine a Crete trip with other Greek destinations may find it easier to island-hop or connect regionally this summer. Check current schedules with your airline or travel agent, as specific frequencies and dates for these routes may vary throughout the season.
