Back to newsTUI has ranked Crete among its top 5 destinations for summer 2026, alongside Rhodes, Kos, and Antalya. Heraklion remains a key gateway, with TUI expanding its flight schedule to the city through November, offering travelers a longer window to visit the island beyond the peak summer months. The extended service reflects strong demand and gives visitors more flexibility when planning autumn trips, when crowds are smaller and temperatures remain pleasant. Antalya has taken the top spot overall in TUI bookings this year, but Crete holds firm as one of the most consistently popular Greek island destinations in the operator's portfolio. Travelers flying with TUI should check updated schedules directly, as additional frequencies to Heraklion International Airport may open up booking options previously unavailable in shoulder season.
