Back to newsA new direct flight route between Heraklion, Crete and Ioannina, the capital of the Epirus region in northwestern Greece, is being launched in November. The initiative aims to improve air connectivity between two of Greece's most visited destinations, eliminating the need for a stopover in Athens. For travelers, this opens a practical new option to combine a Cretan holiday with a visit to Epirus, known for its dramatic Zagori villages, the Vikos Gorge, and Lake Pamvotis. The route is expected to benefit both tourism and business travel between the two regions. Visitors planning a multi-destination trip to Greece in autumn can watch for ticket availability from Heraklion International Airport. Exact airline and scheduling details had not been fully confirmed at the time of publication.
