A holiday company has added a Greek island destination to its summer programme with flights from Glasgow.
Jet2 is offering customers the chance to visit the island of Symi in Greece, via flights from Glasgow Airport to Rhodes which is just 24 miles away.
With flights every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during peak periods, holidaymakers can fly to Rhodes where they will receive accommodation for the first night before continuing to Symi via a 1.5-hour ferry ride.
After arriving in Symi, they will then be transported from the port to their chosen accommodation.
Part of the Dodecanese islands, Symi is known for its beaches, the pretty harbour at Symi Town and is surrounded by authentic Greek houses on the hillside.
The new destination can be accessed by visitors between April 12 and October 30.
Jet2 CEO Steve Heapy said: “As the UK’s largest tour operator, our Summer 24 programme is already jam-packed full of choice and flexibility.
"Given the strong demand we are seeing, we are delighted to be expanding our enormous programme even more and adding Symi to our Jet2holidays portfolio from Glasgow Airport.
“Greece is proving to be a popular choice of holiday destination for next summer, so we have no doubt that this new addition will be much sought-after by customers and independent travel agents in Scotland.
"As well as being able to access this island for the first time with Jet2holidays, holidaymakers will also be able to enjoy the many benefits of booking a package holiday with an award-winning airline and tour operator.
"It is for this reason, and our reputation of delivering a VIP customer service, that we are confident that our package holidays to Symi will be a huge success from Glasgow Airport.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
