Etihad Airways said it will launch a seasonal twice-per-week service to Crete, the largest island in Greece, starting June 15 while announcing new destinations for summer, along with the return of popular seasonal routes to Europe and the Indian Ocean. The flights are set to be operated on an Airbus A320 aircraft and will connect Abu Dhabi to the main city of Heraklion. Lying in the Aegean Sea, Crete offers travellers a rich tapestry of spectacular landscapes, cuisine and culture, with traditional villages and historic sites dating back thousands of years, such as the 4,000-year-old Palace of Knossos. The airline will also return to Malaga, Santorini and Zanzibar this summer. All four destinations are set to be operated from mid-June.<br/>
