Today’s expansion has seen the leading leisure airline and UK’s largest tour operator reveal two brand-new Greek destinations for Summer 26 in the Olympus Riviera and Meganisi, in response to demand for holidays to Greece.
The stunning Olympus Riviera can be reached via flights to Thessaloniki Airport with weekly Tuesday services on sale from Bristol Airport from 5th May to 6th October 2026, with hotel transfers included in a Jet2holidays booking.
Providing a unique combination of mountain and coast, as well as the perfect blend of natural beauty, history and culture, holidays to the Olympus Riviera provide a laid-back and relaxed atmosphere. With Mount Olympus and the Aegean coastline side by side, the region in Northern Greece is ideal for holidaymakers seeking cultural exploration and outdoor activities.
Five resorts are on sale with Jet2holidays for Summer 26 in the Olympus Riviera including Litochoro Plaka, Platamonas, Katerini Paralia, Neoi Poroi and Olympiaki Akti, and the tour operator has a range of 3 to 5-star hotels available to book now, offering a mixture of board basis from bed and breakfast to all-inclusive. Jet2Villas also has a selection of properties on sale in the resorts of Panteleimonas and Leptokarya.
Meanwhile, Meganisi is accessible via Preveza Airport with weekly Sunday services (increasing to two Thursday and Sunday flights from 21st May 2026) from Bristol Airport with Jet2.com in Summer 26 between 3rd May and 11th October 2026. Customers booking with Jet2holidays to Meganisi have ferry and shuttle transfers included.
A hidden gem, the tiny Ionian Island is located off the coast of Lefkas and is one of Greece’s best kept secrets. Known for its natural beauty and character, Meganisi offers a tranquil feel, and an authentic Greek experience, making it ideal for holidaymakers who want peace, charm and unspoiled scenery.
Customers travelling to Meganisi will be able to choose from a selection of 3 and 4-star hotels located in the resort of Vathy, a picturesque town which stretches around its port and has a cosmopolitan feel. For holidaymakers who want the freedom of a villa holiday alongside all the benefits of a package holiday, Jet2Villas has a range of properties on sale in Spartochori, another one of the main villages on the island.
