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."
