Athens Airways

Aegean Airlines is strengthening its routes as of 2025, offering two new destinations abroad and seven new direct domestic flights from regional hubs.

On Monday it announced it will connect Athens with Iraq with direct flights to Erbil, starting on February 23 and operating twice a week, every Wednesday and Sunday.

AirBaltic, Latvia's state-owned low-cost carrier, will for the first time connect Athens with Riga almost all year round, that is, from March 4 to January 11, with three flights per week.

Brussels Airlines will operate flights to Greece throughout the year. Until recently, the Belgian airline offered seasonal flights during the summer. However, due to increased demand for travel between Greece and Brussels year-round, the airline has decided to expand its schedule.

Before we rush to think that summer is over and returning to our routines marks a shift in season and mood, let’s pause and consider how fortunate we are to live in a country where the climate offers us a rare extension of summer, something unique compared to other countries. Let’s make the most of it.
