By the end of the month, more than 15,000 tourists will travel to the island for the Catholic Easter
The first mass charter flights of the season take place today, March 23, at Heraklion airport, where 17 aircraft from Germany and Switzerland will land, carrying around 3,000 tourists.
“The planes are traveling full,” he told the patris.gr the airport master Giorgos Pliakas noting that the next “wave” of mass charter arrivals will be next Saturday, March 30. The “massiveness” certainly refers to the specific time period of the start of the season, since at its peak in the summer the number of charters reaches 200 planes in one day.
By the end of the month, more than 15,000 foreign visitors will travel to Crete for the Catholic Easter.
