Summer travel from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport just got more exciting with the announcement of two new easyJet routes to the Greek island paradise of Santorini and the Calabrian hotspot of Lamezia Terme, launching this June.
Starting 23rd June, easyJet will introduce twice-weekly flights to Lamezia Terme, a gateway to Calabria’s famously beautiful beaches and authentic southern Italian charm. Flights will operate on Mondays and Fridays. Then, on 25th June, the Greek island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea will join the network, with flights on Wednesdays and Sundays.
The new destinations are additions to the schedule announced by the airline in November 2024, which also included a seasonal route between Nice and Düsseldorf, set to launch on 24th June. The four-times-weekly service, running on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays, will make business and leisure travel links between the Côte d’Azur and western Germany easier—and quite affordable too—with tickets for this route available from €38 one-way.
SANTORINI DREAMING
Admired for its dramatic landscapes and stunning sea views, Santorini is a top choice for travellers heading to Greece. Visitors can explore the charming cliffside villages of Oia and Fira, known for their iconic whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches, before stopping off at a local taverna for authentic fresh cuisine.
The island’s volcanic origins have also created stunning beaches, such as the striking Red Beach and Perissa’s black sand shores. Wine lovers will enjoy sampling the island’s distinctive Assyrtiko wines at one of its many wineries, while history buffs can visit the ancient ruins of Akrotiri, a well-preserved Minoan city. Fares to this captivating Greek isle start at €38 one-way.
LAMEZIA TERME: A LESSER-KNOWN GEM
Lamezia Terme offers a blend of history and nature, as well as easy access to pristine coastlines, making it an ideal destination for those looking to explore southern Italy’s lesser-known regions.
The city itself boasts several historical sites, including the 11th-century Norman-Swabian Castle, the Bastion of the Knights of Malta and the Lamentino Archaeological Museum, while nature lovers will appreciate the nearby Sila National Park, home to lush forests, mountain lakes and abundant wildlife. Prices for this route begin at €40.
With 4.6 million passengers choosing to fly with easyJet from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport in 2023, the airline has become the leading operator at the airport. Over the winter 2024/25 season, easyJet introduced new routes to Madrid, Strasbourg and Lanzarote, further increasing year-round connectivity for travellers.
