Back to newsFollowing Germany's exit from the FIFA World Cup, German travelers are booking last-minute summer holidays at a higher rate than usual, with Greece ranking among the top destinations alongside Mallorca. Eurowings has reported strong demand for flights to Greek islands, including Crete, for the coming weeks.
Tourists planning a trip to Crete can expect increased competition for accommodation and flights departing from German airports through July and August. Travelers who have not yet booked should act quickly, as availability in popular areas such as Heraklion, Chania, and Elounda may tighten. Booking flights and hotels several weeks in advance is advisable. Those already on the island may notice a higher proportion of German visitors at beaches and resort areas during peak summer season.
