A direct flight from Paris to Skiathos island on Holy Saturday inaugurated the new tourism period for the Sporades group island, as 137 passengers of Transavia Airlines were welcomed with traditional sweets, ANA reports.
The flight left the Charles De Gaulle airport and is the culmination of efforts by the Skiathos authorities, in cooperation with the National Tourism Organization of Greece offices in Athens and Paris, the Ministry of Tourism, and the airline, a low-cost carrier that is part of the Air France KLM Group.
For the time being there will be only one flight per week; a second will be added in June, July, and August.
The travelers were welcomed by Skiathos Mayor Thodoris Tzoumas and President of the island’s Hoteliers Association Alexandros Efstathiou, and the island’s women’s association who offered information brochures and traditional sweets.
