Ryanair has dropped prices on its flights to and within Greece, claiming it is part of a campaign to ‘Keep Greece Flying’.
Fares on its international routes to and from Greece have been cut by 30% for travel from 13 July to the end of October.
Fares on its Athens flights to and from Chania, Rhodes and Thessaloniki are €4.99 from 13 July to Sunday 26 July.
Ryanair had offered to drop its Greek domestic fares to nothing for the next two weeks if the HCCA and Athens Airport dropped their development fees and airport fees to zero for this period, but the Greek Government declined the offer.
Ryanair’s chief commercial officer David O’Brien, said: "It’s disappointing that the Greek Government has declined Ryanair’s offer of free domestic flights for Greek citizens.
"But Greek consumers and visitors can rest assured that Ryanair remains committed to growing in Greece and we will continue to stimulate travel and tourism in Greece by working with our partners in the Greek airports and Greek Government at this time of economic crisis."
