Greece remains one of the most coveted destinations to keep an eye on when new flight deals appear, especially for those already considering a getaway that blends sea, archaeology, and Mediterranean cities. Among the fares shown by Volotea are several offers departing from Italy, with prices starting from 19 euros per leg on some selected routes.
As with low-cost carriers, the fares indicated are subject to availability and can change rapidly depending on the chosen date and the number of seats left. Volotea also notes that promotional prices refer to the single travel segment, taxes included, and that the cheapest fare seats are limited, while the promotion will last until October 31, for flights between November 1, 2026 and October 15, 2027. Here is therefore a selection of 3 destinations easily reachable from Italy considering a tight budget, including the coming spring.
From Palermo to Crete
Among the lowest fares shown by Volotea is the connection from Palermo to Heraklion, on the island of Crete, from 19 euros per leg. It is an attractive option especially for those seeking a destination that allows for days by the sea, archaeological sites, and traditional cuisine.
Heraklion is the main gateway to the central part of Crete. A few kilometers from the city lies the famous Palace of Knossos, linked to the Minoan civilization and the myth of the Minotaur. In the city center, the Archaeological Museum, the Venetian fortress of Koules, and the port are must-visits. Crete, however, shines best when you move around: beaches, gorges, small villages and tavernas make it easy to plan a longer trip than a typical weekend.
From Venice to Athens
Also starting from 19 euros is the Volotea flight from Venice to Athens, one of the most appealing routes for those who prefer a city break. The effective fares vary by dates: the airline’s calendar shows several price levels, and the cheapest seats are limited.
Athens remains a destination that works practically all year round. The itinerary can begin at the Acropolis and the Parthenon, then descend toward Plaka and Monastiraki. It is worth dedicating time to neighborhoods such as Psyrri and Koukaki, where the contemporary face of the city emerges amid locals, street art, and restaurants. For those with a few extra days, the Athenian Riviera and Cape Sounion can also become easy extensions of the trip.
From Naples to Santorini
Another option comes from Naples, from where Volotea offers direct flights to Santorini from 24 euros on its dedicated deals pages. It is probably the most symbolic destination of the three: the caldera landscape, born from the great volcanic eruption that shaped the island, is dominated by white-washed villages perched on the edge of cliffs.
Fira and Oia are the most famous locations, especially at sunset, while along the southern coast you encounter volcanic beaches like Perissa and Kamari. Santorini can be visited in a few days, but it’s worth going beyond the most photographed spots: villages like Pyrgos and Megalochori reveal a quieter face of the Cyclades.
