All the above mentioned Greek routes are seasonal.

Now, passengers holding vaccination certificates issued by health authorities can travel between the nations without having to quarantine on arrival.
Etihad Airways and flydubai both have taken advantage of this travel corridor by announcing flights to the Greek Islands.
