Sign Up × Jet2holidays has introduced four new destinations – with Symi, the Athens Coast in Greece, Porto in Portugal and Pula in Croatia all going on sale. The addition of the four new destinations comes in response to "continued demand from customers and independent travel agents", it said. Jet2holidays has added Symi and Athens Coast to its summer 2024 programme, in direct response to "enormous demand". The addition of Athens Coast gives holidaymakers access to eight resorts across the sun-soaked region – Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Lagonissi, Anavyssos, Sounio, Vravrona, Mati and Marathon. The resorts are perfect for those looking for a laid-back holiday experience and Jet2holidays has put a range of 3 to 4-star properties on sale across the region, including the Grecotel Cape Sounio, Vincci EverEden and Marathon Beach. Holidaymakers will be able to access the Athens Coast from three UK airports - Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted - with flights operating into Athens with Jet2.com between May 2 and October 31. From Athens Airport, Jet2holidays customers can enjoy a short transfer to reach the coast. Sitting to the south-east of Athens city, the Athens Coast peninsula hosts a multitude of sandy beaches, coves and smaller towns each with their own unique charm. Some of the resorts on sale boast up-market marinas with boutique shops, others are more rustic in character and offer a great selection of fresh seafood, while others have bustling nightlife scenes and plenty of places to go out and explore.
