TRVL changes the rules of travel: strategic partnership with Klarna for three interest-free instalments

TRVL becomes the first Greek-owned OTA with a global footprint to integrate Klarna’s “Pay in 3”.

ATHENS, 11 January 2026 — TRVL, the platform that proved Greek enterprise can lead in the global travel market, today announces a landmark partnership with the international payments group Klarna.

Staying true to its values and its strong Greek DNA, TRVL becomes the first Greek-owned OTA with a global footprint to integrate the "Pay in 3" service. Travellers anywhere in the world can now book their holiday and settle the cost in three interest-free instalments, combining traditional Greek hospitality with the most current financial technology.

Statement from the Chief Executive

TRVL's Chief Executive, Panagiotis Athanasakopoulos, said:

"TRVL was born in Greece but grew up in the world. Our Greek DNA is what drives us to innovate with a human face. As the first Greek OTA to build a strong global footprint, we feel a responsibility to offer solutions that genuinely make things easier for the traveller. Our partnership with Klarna is not merely a technical addition — it is proof that a Greek company can set the standards of the global market, offering flexibility, three interest-free instalments and, above all, complete transparency."

Innovation, TRVL style

  • Three interest-free instalments (Pay in 3): No credit card, no interest, no hidden charges. Travel becomes affordable for everyone.
  • Greek strategy, global strength: TRVL combines deep knowledge of the travel market with leading-edge technology, competing on equal terms with the international giants.
  • Trust and transparency: Just as we established showing the final price from the first step, we now offer the clearest way to pay.

Strengthening our partners

This move benefits not only travellers but also the thousands of property owners who trust us. Paying in instalments raises demand and average length of stay, while TRVL guarantees the security and speed of payments to its providers, as it has consistently done over the years.

The service is now live for all bookings through trvl.gr and the TRVL Mobile App.
