Back to newsTUI has named Crete among its top five destinations for the 2026 summer season, alongside Rhodes and Kos, reflecting strong demand from European travelers for Greek island holidays. As part of this recognition, the tour operator is adding more flights to Heraklion International Airport, extending increased capacity through November. This means greater availability and potentially more competitive prices for travelers planning late-season trips to Crete beyond the peak summer months. Visitors flying with TUI from major European hubs can expect more departure options and seat availability through autumn, making Crete accessible for shoulder-season travel when crowds are thinner and temperatures remain warm. Travelers planning a November trip to Crete should check TUI's updated flight schedules for their departure city, as new routes or increased frequencies may open up itinerary options that were previously limited.
