According to research conducted by low-cost airline Easyjet, most Brits are eager to compensate for the trips they missed out on due to the pandemic over the past two years, by traveling more in 2022. As a result, as many as 55% of British nationals are expected to travel more than usual this year, while one third are planning to spend at least £1.000 (€1.198) more on their trips.

As far as destinations go, Greece is their fifth most popular destination for this summer, according to the ABTA travel association. 10.1% of British travelers will be heading to Greek destinations – both on the islands and on the mainland.
