About Us

Les Hirondelles – “the swallows” – is the travel agency of the Leventis family, who grew up in a hotel in Pelion and have turned their love of hospitality into a complete travel service.

The Leventis family has been welcoming visitors to Pelion since 1937. In 1980 the family opened Les Hirondelles in Volos and turned its love of hospitality into a complete travel service – with offices over the years in Volos, Agios Ioannis, Milina and Platanias. In 2016 the third generation joined the business, bringing new ideas and new services. Today our offices in Volos (Ermou 264) and, in summer, in Agios Ioannis, Pelion, are open to help you plan every detail.

We work with partners in France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Serbia, Israel and the USA as the local destination management company for Pelion, and we serve the Arkia flights from Tel Aviv to Volos. For travellers from Greece, we book the trips of the country’s leading tour operators.
