Such lovely people. I confused my booking and they had to make the journey to collect me twice- they were so kind and didn’t charge me extra. The van was very luxurious and spotlessly clean. Excellent English speakers too. I totally recommend this service. Thank you, Charis!!

The trip was great overall. Our driver was very helpful and friendly but not overbearing which was perfect. The Melissani Lake was quite a site to behold, truly beautiful place and we left with a lot of fun facts about it too. I would recommend timing your trip to get there just before midday. We also loved the Winery location with its amazing views.

We continue to the lovely village of Assos, one of the most beautiful villages of Kefalonia.

This is the second time we have booked accommodation through Avalon Travel. This time we came back to Cephalonia to get married and the gorgeous Nickolette, stamo and Mark took such good care of us and our family and friends whilst we were here. Nothing was to much trouble, they sorted out coach hire for us and our party to and from the airport and to the location of our wedding on the day. The apartments were clean and well kept, we cannot recommend Avalon travel highly enough. Thank you so much. Paul and Hilary.
