Back to newsAir France has expanded its flight operations between France and Greece, reinforcing the Athens-Paris route as part of broader European travel growth. While this route connects Athens rather than Crete directly, the development benefits visitors traveling to Crete from France, as more frequent or better-connected services through Athens can reduce overall travel time and improve booking flexibility. Tourists flying from Paris can connect onward to Heraklion (HER) or Chania (CHQ) airports via Athens. The expansion reflects growing demand for Greek destinations among European travelers, which may translate into increased flight availability and potentially more competitive fares for the summer season. Visitors planning trips from France to Crete are encouraged to check Air France schedules and consider Athens as a convenient hub for island connections.
