Jet2 adds 3 new destinations for 2026 including beautiful 'unspoilt Greek island'

Jet2 has added three new destinations for summer 2026 that also includes a gorgeous “unspoilt Greek island”. The popular airline company recently announced the holiday packages for three new destinations which will include ferry and transfers and it will operate from April 3 to October 30 next year

Meganisi is often called Greece’s “best kept secret,” even by locals, thanks to its untouched beauty and charm. Nestled in the Ionian Sea, this small island has remained largely off the tourist radar, preserving its traditional character and peaceful atmosphere.With quiet villages, scenic landscapes and a slower pace of life, Meganisi offers visitors a truly authentic Greek experience away from the crowds. Visitors can unwind on secluded beaches like Megalo Limonari and Fanari, which are often only reachable by boat or foot. The island’s traditional villages—Spartochori, Vathy, and Katomeri—offer narrow lanes, cozy tavernas, and a laid-back atmosphere.

With its green hills, olive groves, and fjord-like inlets, Meganisi also showcases stunning landscapes, while its fishing communities reflect a timeless way of life rooted in Greek tradition.

Meganisi doesn’t have its own airport, so travellers typically fly into Aktion Airport in Preveza, which is close to Lefkada. From there, it’s about an hour’s drive to the port town of Nidri, where you can catch a ferry to the island.

During the summer, several major airlines—including Jet2, British Airways, and Ryanair—offer direct flights from the UK, making the journey both convenient and accessible for holidaymakers.

Alongside Meganisi, Jet2 is also adding Olympus Riviera and Palermo to its lineup, offering more options for holidaymakers seeking scenic and culturally rich getaways

The Olympus Riviera is a beautiful coastal area in northern Greece, located between the Aegean Sea and Mount Olympus. Though less known than popular Greek islands, it offers a great mix of relaxing beaches, exciting mountain hikes, and interesting cultural experiences.

Palermo, the lively capital of Sicily, sits on the island’s northwest coast and is full of history, culture, and great food. The city features a mix of Arab-Norman buildings, busy street markets, and beautiful views of the Mediterranean.

You can visit historic sites like Palermo Cathedral and the Norman Palace, shop and eat at local markets such as Ballarò and Vucciria, and enjoy tasty treats like arancini and cannoli.

Palermo’s culture blends Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman influences, making it truly unique. For a beach escape, head to Mondello or explore Monreale’s famous cathedral nearby.

The city is easy to reach via Falcone-Borsellino Airport, with direct flights from many European cities in summer.
