Travelux has been putting clients ‘in the picture’ since they first opened in 1972.

Quality travel planning and reservations have been the hallmarks of this truly independent travel organisation.

The fully bonded and licensed operations of the company are seated in comfortable and spacious offices opposite the recreation grounds in Tenterden.

The Travel Agency itself has always prided itself on a truly professional holiday and travel reservation department. The consultants are well travelled and experienced, and their extensive product knowledge is enhanced by the latest technology. Associations with independent travel organisations ensure competitive quotations, and the ability to tailor make your holiday to suit your needs. A simple enough statement but sadly not always the creed of so many of the vertically integrated ‘holiday shops’ that have proliferated in today’s high streets or indeed many of the internet sites which are purely technology driven. Impartial advice and itineraries are distilled from a very large range of travel suppliers. They will ensure every effort is made to see that you benefit from the best options available to suit your individual criteria.

The company aims to ensure all their clients become regulars, by offering genuine service. It is a maxim best illustrated by the truism that “The quality of service is remembered a long time after the price is forgotten”.

Cruising has long been a specialised area of interest for Travelux, and 32 years of arranging cruises has seen an explosion of interest in ship-based vacations. Around a million passengers from the U.K. in the last year made cruising their holiday.

Cruise passengers are certainly not all alike, and cruise ships are becoming more diverse to suit all tastes, budgets, and styles. The variety of vessels has never been wider, from mega resort-style ships with every conceivable facility from an ice skating rink to thousand seat theatres, and glass lifts rising through multi-deck atriums, to small yacht-style ships with country house atmosphere and individual service. River boats, sailing vessels, cruise ships with onboard discovery programmes and guest speakers, themed cruises from golf to bridge, six star, to out and out value, casual to formal, and everywhere in between, U.K./U.K. or fly the World, there is a cruise experience to suit nearly everyone, whatever age they are, or whatever lifestyle they wish to experience.

So where do you start? Travelux are experienced cruise agents, members of the LCA (Leading Cruise Agents), and appointed by PSARA (Passenger Shipping Association of Retail Agents).

It is not a secret what great value cruises are, and the shipping companies make attractive offers to tempt you even further. Travelux keeps constant checks on cruise discounts, enhances these even further in most cases with extra agency rebates, and operates special departures, sometimes escorted and sometimes with door to door taxi transfers.

Last but not least, Travelux operate their own holiday programme. As a licensed tour operator, the tours department can offer everything from golfing groups in South America, South Africa, (or a destination of choice) through to their own Summer brochured programme to Greece. (See our Greek Tours.)

Lefkada, Meganissi, and Zagoria may not be areas of Greece as well known as Corfu, Crete or Rhodes, but for anyone who has felt the magic of a holiday in these areas, they will know what a pleasure it is to experience the delights of Greece away from the mass market.

Our villas with pools, and other accommodations are all hand picked, and in some cases even built to our own specification. Our overseas staff ensure the highest level of service.

It is possible to tailor make holidays to include an island retreat with your own car or boat (or both), and a visit to the mountain region of Zagoria.

The villas are of the highest standards available, and many are sited in areas of natural beauty. The level of customer satisfaction is so high that many clients return year after year. Some have even decided to return and build their own villas, and Travelux can even assist in this area as well, their offices being the home of Lefkada Estates Ltd.
