Wizz Air Abu Dhabi flies to Greek tourist hotspot Santorini
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, the newest national airline of the United Arab Emirates, will fly two times per week from the UAE capital to one of Greece’s most stunning travel destinations: the island of Santorini. With Greece and the United Arab Emirates having opened a travel corridor earlier in May, vaccinated travellers can visit the alluring Aegean archipelago without needing to quarantine.
Wizz Air Abu Dhabi will fly to Santorini from 2nd July 2021 twice per week, every Monday and Friday.
UAE passengers can fly into Greece without needing to quarantine on arrival in the country.

The vaccination needs to have been completed at least 14 days before arrival to Greece. The certificate should include the full name of the passenger, the type of vaccine, the number of doses taken and the dates.
When returning to Abu Dhabi, UAE residents and citizens who have been vaccinated for at least 28 days, and have received a vaccine report on the Alhosn app, will be able to fly into the UAE from Greece without having to follow quarantine restrictions. Passengers will have to take a PCR test 72 hours before departure, alongside taking another PCR test on arrival into the UAE, and another on the sixth day after arriving. Children 12 years of age and younger are exempted.
Kees Van Schaick, Managing Director of Wizz Air Abu Dhabi, said, “With its iconic whitewashed villages and charming blue domed roofs, it’s no surprise that Santorini is an ever-popular destination for travellers the world over.
