Thessaloniki for Ryanair

Ryanair is to fly to Greece for the first time, instigating a three times per week Stansted to Thessaloniki route on 13 April.  Flight time for a Boeing 737-800 is around 3hrs 30mins.  As Greece's second major economic, industrial, commercial and political centre it is already served from London but strangely only from Gatwick, British Airways, easyJet and Olympic Air all competing on the route.

Thessaloniki, also called Salonika, is in many ways a Balkan city, and 500km north of Athens.  A city of great historical interest it has been since 1988 a UNESCO World Heritage site. www.ryanair.com
