TUI Airways is expanding its Greek island offering with the launch of new direct flights to Kos from Exeter, giving holidaymakers more choice and flexibility.

The brand-new Exeter route marks the first time TUI has connected Exeter directly with Kos. Customers can book seven or 14-night holidays to the popular Greek island, which boasts golden beaches, ancient ruins and relaxing harbour towns.

Kos combines everything that makes the Greek islands so special: pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, charming villages, and rich history including the ancient Asklepion healing temple. With excellent tavernas, water sports, and family-friendly resorts, Kos appeals to couples, families, and groups alike.

Neil Swanson, Managing Director at TUI UK&I said: “This new route to Kos follows a rise in demand for this picturesque Island, which is one of our customers’ favourite Greek destinations. By launching services from Exeter for the first time, we’re making it easier than ever for customers to enjoy an unforgettable Greek island holiday. The variety of durations available gives our customers real flexibility in planning their perfect getaway, whether that’s a quick 3-night escape or a full two-week break. And with pristine beaches, classic tavernas, crystal-clear waters, charming villages, and rich history, it’s easy for Brits to make the most of their holiday in Kos.”

Stephen Wiltshire, Managing Director of Exeter Airport, said: “We’re delighted with TUI’s announcement of new flights to Kos from Exeter Airport for summer 2026, and it’s the first time this beautiful Greek island will be directly served from here. This exciting addition expands the choice of sunshine destinations available to our passengers and reflects the continuing strength of demand for holidays from Exeter. We look forward to working closely with TUI to make the route a great success.”
