With over 150,000 Greeks, Melbourne is the biggest Greek city in the world – outside of Greece (and even then it’s still the sixth largest Greek city in the world).
The image here shows Melburnians celebrating Greek Independence Day at the city’s Greko-style Shrine of Remembrance, which is modelled on the Tomb of Mausolus (Google it). Technically Jetstar’s 787 could fly all the way to Athens non-stop, serving the massive 260,000 demand identified in Skyscanner searches.
With 260,000 searches last year, a potential new route from Athens to Melbourne has been identified as this week’s Skyscanner for Business-anna.aero “Unserved Route of Week” – a powerful kind of analysis based on aspirational data captured from the Skyscanner.net flight comparison site used by +50 million unique visitors per month.
“Melbourne and Sydney have always been found among the top indirect routes out of Athens throughout the years, as a result of the high volumes of leisure demand and strong ethnic traffic from second and third-generation of Greeks living in Australia,” says Haris Filos, Developer, Airline Development, Athens Airport.
