As the gloomy weather persists in the UK, many people are dreaming of a sunny getaway, and now is the ideal time to learn that Wizz Air has expanded its flight options to the iconic Greek island of Santorini. Known for its stunning white and blue villages perched on cliffs, Santorini has long been a popular choice for travelers seeking a serene vacation.
The new Wizz Air route from London Gatwick to Santorini will commence on 1 July 2026, enhancing the airline’s connections to Greece in preparation for the busy summer travel season. This new service will operate twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays, providing British travelers with more flexibility for their summer holiday plans.
With one-way direct flights starting at just £45.99, it is now easier and more affordable than ever to book a peaceful summer escape to Santorini. The island offers a variety of attractions, including stunning cliffside views, volcanic sand beaches, and unforgettable sunsets.
Visitors can wander through charming cobblestone pathways lined with whitewashed buildings adorned with colorful flowers, creating picturesque moments reminiscent of scenes from movies like Mamma Mia! Additionally, Santorini’s unique volcanic cliffs offer hiking trails like the renowned Fira-Oia path for travelers to explore.
Apart from scenic beauty, tourists can explore ancient ruins at Akrotiri, take boat trips on the turquoise waters, relax in hot springs, taste local wines at vineyards, and indulge in Greek cuisine at authentic restaurants, bars, and cafes offering dishes like Gyros and Horiatiki salad.
The addition of the new Wizz Air route to Santorini is part of the airline’s efforts to expand its connections between the UK and Greece. The airline has also announced additional flights to popular Greek destinations such as Chania, Corfu, Mykonos, Rhodes, and Zakynthos starting this summer.
