Hello! It’s been a while since we have shown our faces on here and we have noticed that we have some new followers... welcome!⁣ 👋🏻
If you are new to our socials, we are Al & Cat and we run the Ionian Villas office in the UK with our small team.

We are 3rd generation travel experts who love Greece. Alex's grandfather, Eliot, was one of the first tour operators to Greece in the 1960's and founded the company ‘Greek Islands Club’.

David, Eliot's son, started as a Greek Islands Club Representative on Paxos and when Eliot passed away, David went on to be managing director for the next 30 years.

Then in 2011 David, his wife Vivienne (another Greek travel expert), their son Alex and his wife Catherine decided to set up Ionian Villas to give the more independent traveller a more flexible alternative to a package holiday.

Eliot and his wife Buz loved the Ionian islands and their people.

With Ionian Villas we are lucky we get to continue the family legacy and feel that Alex's grandfather would approve! 💙
