Europe’s leading tour operator, TUI, has scheduled more than 120 flights to Greece up to the end of May, greekcitytimes.com reports.
These flights concern departures from Germany and then from the United Kingdom to the airports of Heraklion, Rhodes, Corfu, Zakynthos, and Kos. Up next will be Araxos, in the Peloponnese, and other destinations, as arrivals are set to soar as the season proceeds.
In spite of Greece not being included on the UK’s travel ‘green list’, TUI is still selling holiday packages from Britain.

Specifically, he will meet with UK Minister for Asia at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Nigel Adams.
The two officials are expected to discuss the terms that will permit unobstructed movement between Greece and the UK in the immediate future.
Theocharis will also have meetings with top executives of the three biggest UK airlines – British Airways, EasyJet and Jet2, the Tourism Ministry said.
