The surge coincides with the introduction of visa-on-arrival access for Turkish citizens to 12 Aegean islands, significantly easing travel between the two countries. Despite ranking 12th overall by booking volume, Turkey’s growth rate outpaced all other major markets by a wide margin. Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and the United States remain the five largest source markets by volume. Italy held the top spot with bookings up 13.8 percent, while France rose 6.9 percent and the U.S. climbed 5.4 percent. Milos remains a top choice for Australians, French, and American travelers, and Sifnos stands out in the British and French markets.
