From the Riviera to the Aegean: EasyJet Unveils Direct Flights from Nice to Santorini

Travel just got sunnier for French Riviera jetsetters. A new direct route from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport to the dreamlike island of Santorini has officially taken flight, making one of Greece’s most iconic destinations just hours away. EasyJet’s latest addition to its summer lineup means cliffside sunsets, blue-domed chapels, and endless Aegean charm are now closer than ever.

The inaugural journey touched down on 25 June, launching a twice-weekly service that will run throughout the summer season. Whether it’s a spontaneous long weekend or an extended Greek getaway, this new route provides a seamless bridge from the Côte d’Azur to the heart of the Cyclades.

A New Gateway to Greek Island Magic

Santorini, famous for its caldera views, whitewashed villages, and romantic allure, has long been a bucket-list favourite. With EasyJet’s new direct service, Riviera-based travellers no longer need to navigate layovers or complex itineraries—just a quick hop from Nice and you’re sipping ouzo under the Mediterranean sun.

The flights, operating twice weekly, are designed to meet growing demand from leisure travellers looking for beauty, culture, and island escapism. For Monaco’s elite and Côte d’Azur vacationers alike, Santorini is now a fast and fabulous option.

Nice Airport Welcomes the Cyclades Connection

The mood was celebratory at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport as EasyJet’s first flight arrived, greeted with enthusiasm from airport staff, EasyJet crew, and excited passengers. The festive launch highlighted the Riviera’s growing status as a key departure point for glamorous global destinations.

Monaco’s Stylish Crowd, Now Aegean-Bound

For those based in the Principality, this new connection is a game-changer. With just a short drive to Nice Airport, Monaco’s residents can now effortlessly trade their sea-view terraces for Santorini’s volcanic cliffs. Quick, direct, and scenic, this new route is destined to become a summer favourite.

Sun, style, and ease—this summer, say hello to Santorini.
