British travellers looking to escape to Greece for some winter sunshine have been warned to expect potential disruption to flights.

Santorini and Mykonos airports are some of the busiest in Greece, according to latest data.

Mykonos Airport ranks among the top 10 busiest airports in the country and serves the popular island of the Cyclades.

It sees more than one million passengers per year, the majority of whom arrive in the summer.

The airport has only one terminal for Schengen and non-Schengen flights and during the winter traffic is very low with Aegean Airlines and Sky Express operating flights to Athens.

However, it gets busy during the summer as seasonal flights from over 30 airlines like Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa, and Ryanair are added to the regular flight schedule.

Santorini airport is the eighth busiest airport in Greece with nearly 2.5 million passengers.

It was opened in 1972 and is located just a 10-minute car ride from the centre of Fira.
