EasyJet’s decision to retain four routes to the Greek islands following its purchase of GB Airways has come as a relief to specialist operators and dynamic packaging companies. Dave Richardson looks at what five of the top islands have to offer:
Skiathos Where: It’s one of the Sporades islands in the northern Aegean, in eastern Greece.
Flights: Charters only, from main UK airports between May and October.
Accommodation: Mainly three-star, with a choice of hotels, apartments and a few villas. A few boutique hotels have opened recently.
Typical visitors: Skiathos is almost exclusively for couples and families, attracted by the many sandy beaches.
