When the temperature starts to dip, many Italians begin scouting for the next warm escape. Volotea has answered that need with a limited-time promotion that lets travelers snag seats to the Mediterranean for a fraction of the usual price. The offer covers up to 500,000 seats and is open for bookings until 2 October 2026 with travel possible up to 30 June 2027. Regular fares start at €19, but members of the Megavolotea programme can find tickets for as little as €9.
How the Volotea promotion works
The deal is straightforward: choose a departing city in Italy, pick one of the highlighted destinations, and book before the October deadline. Prices are displayed per-person, inclusive of taxes, and the lowest tier (€9) applies only to those who have already enrolled in the Megavolotea loyalty scheme. All other travelers can still benefit from the base price of €19, which remains competitive for short-haul flights across the Adriatic and the Mediterranean.
Valencia, Spain – culture, cuisine and coast
For a mix of historic streets, modern architecture and a lively beach scene, fly from Florence to Valencia on 8 June 2027. Seats start at €21, giving you enough budget for a weekend of paella, horchata and strolling through the Barrio del Carmen. The quarter is a maze of narrow alleys, plazas and centuries-old palaces, perfect for an immersive cultural walk. Must-see sites include the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences a boat ride at sunset on the Albufera lagoon, and the family-friendly Malvarrosa beach, just a short tram ride from the city centre.
Lefkada, Greece – cliffs, crystal water and island charm
Departing from Bari on 29 June 2027 you can reach the Ionian island of Lefkada for €31. The island’s coastline is famed for dramatic cliffs that plunge into turquoise seas. Two standout beaches are Porto Katsiki perched on a sheer limestone wall, and Egremni accessible via a stairway of 347 steps that rewards visitors with a long stretch of white sand and transparent water. Beyond the shore, the town of Lefkada offers colourful houses, winding lanes and tavernas serving fresh seafood, making it an ideal blend of relaxation and active exploration.
Cephalonia, Greece – hidden bays and picture-perfect villages
From Naples you can board a flight to Cephalonia on 29 June 2027 also at €31. The island’s landscape alternates between emerald hills and secluded coves. Highlights include Assos a cliff-top village with stone houses overlooking a calm bay, and the iconic Myrtos beach, celebrated for its crescent shape and brilliant blue-green water. For a quieter pace, visit Fiskardo a fishing port dotted with pastel-coloured homes and a marina filled with yachts. Each spot offers a different slice of Greek island life, from leisurely beach days to leisurely strolls through historic lanes.
Practical tip: keep an eye on the airline’s status
While the Volotea promotion is attractive, the carrier has recently entered a pre-bankruptcy process to renegotiate its debt. Consumer organisations recommend retaining all booking documents—tickets, receipts, and email confirmations—until the flight is completed. In the unlikely event of a cancellation, the airline is obliged to refund the full amount paid. Travelers who are risk-averse may wish to monitor the airline’s financial updates before finalising their purchase.
