Aegean Airlines

Aegean Airlines is a real European success story - one of the few regional airlines which retains an individual identity and co-operates closely with bigger airlines (in Aegean’s case it has code shares with Lufthansa and Air One of Italy). Aegeanis a great way to get between Athens and the wonderful Greek islands. But beware you won’t be the only one trying to avoid the interminable ferry journeys and at peak dates and days the flights are often fully booked. With this in mind we suggest that you book early to ensure you get the flights you want and at the prices you want.
