Jet2 is expanding their summer holiday routes to include three lesser-known Greek islands – Poros, Aegina, and Leros. These islands offer a more tranquil and less crowded alternative to popular destinations such as Santorini and Mykonos. Passengers will be able to travel to these islands from Manchester, Birmingham, and Stansted airports, with free transfers and ferry services included in package holidays.
Poros, located just an hour away from Athens by hydrofoil, is known for its Old Town, Temple of Poseidon, and the unique lemon forest of Meonodasos. Aegina, the closest island to Athens, boasts historic sites like the Aphea Temple and offers 20 beaches to explore. Leros, with its Italian influences and deep natural harbor, is popular among hikers and divers. These new destinations offer a different experience for travelers looking to explore Greece beyond the usual tourist spots.
National sales manager Simon Marshall stated that the demand for Jet2 holidays continues to grow year-round, leading to the introduction of new destinations like Poros, Aegina, Leros, Palermo, and Tallinn in 2026. The addition of these new routes provides more choice for independent travel agents and customers seeking award-winning holidays in Greece and Italy. The launch of these new destinations reflects Jet2’s commitment to providing diverse and exciting travel options for their passengers.
Poros, Aegina, and Leros offer a unique blend of history, nature, and relaxation for travelers looking to escape the crowds and explore hidden gems in Greece. From historic temples and museums to sandy beaches and lush landscapes, these islands have something to offer every type of traveler. With convenient flight options from multiple UK airports and free transfers included in package holidays, planning a trip to these lesser-known destinations has never been easier.
For those looking to explore other Greek islands, Paros is expected to be a popular destination next year. Jet2’s expansion into these lesser-known islands provides travelers with more opportunities to discover hidden gems and experience the beauty and culture of Greece beyond the typical tourist attractions. Whether you’re a history buff, nature enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Poros, Aegina, and Leros offer a unique and memorable vacation experience for all types of travelers.
