New summer destinations announced from Hungary!

Wizz Air has just announced a new destination in Greece, extending its list to 10 airports.

Summer is not some weeks away; it is here, and it will be much easier and more open than the last one. The vaccination process helped countries to reopen as fast as possible. Some of them are welcoming tourists earlier than others, mainly the most popular holiday destinations that suffered greatly from last year’s lockdown. Greece is one of them, who is ready to use the Covid pass before July in order to save this summer.

In accordance with Greece’s motivation to welcome tourists, Wizz Air is extending its list of destinations in the country.

Starting from the middle of this summer, the island of Kos will be directly available from Budapest.

Back in March, the airline announced that it would include the city of Chania, situated on the island of Crete. The island of Kos will join nine other Greek destinations, such as Athens or Santorini, the company  revealed to airpotal.hu.

The first flight to the city of Kos from Budapest will leave on July 16.

After that day, there will be regular flights twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays. Tickets are extremely affordable: they start at 8,990 forints (25 euros) for a one-way flight.

As the official announcement of the flight company also points out, the island of Kos is not only a breathtaking scene to spend a perfect holiday at but also full of history. From the tree of Hippocrates, through the Temple of Aphrodite, to the locals’ favourite taverns offering many unforgettable experiences, it is the best location to spend either a shorter trip or a much longer, relaxing vacation. In the case you are planning to stay longer than a couple of days, it is absolutely worth taking a short detour to the island of Rhodos, another Wizz Air destination.

Here are all the cities available from Budapest with a Wizz Air flight: Athens, Chania, Corfu, Heraklion, Kos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini, Thessaloniki, Zakynthos.

Apart from Wizz Air, Ryanair also offers many flights directly from Budapest to several Greek cities. Athens, Chania, Corfu, Mykonos, Preveza – Aktion, Rhodes, Thessaloniki, and Zakynthos are all directly available from Budapest.

Greece introduced a vaccination certificate system for travellers on Tuesday, weeks ahead of the July 1 rollout of the program across the European Union. 

The certificates are being issued to people who are fully vaccinated, as well as to those who have already contracted the virus and developed antibodies. In every case, you need to fill in a Passenger Locator Form, preferably before boarding the plane.

Here is all the information you need to know about travelling to Greece.
