Beckys Travel Agency

Becky's travel has been founded in 1964 and it started as a hobby by the founder, Rebecca Savvides, hence the name Becky, which is short, distinctive and easy to pronounce. Rebecca liked very much to travel, and that is why she has decided to start the travel business. Despite the five children she already had, she could still find time to spend at the business. The beginning has been extremely difficult because at that time women who worked were not taken seriously and she had to face the hostility of the airlines. However, from the very beginning the founder has seen the need of organized tours out of Cyprus and was one of the very first people to organize tours at first to the neighboring countries, like Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Egypt and Jordan. It did help that she spoke five languages. Another need that she had seen was cheaper prices for relatives of the UK soldiers to visit Cyprus, so Charter Flights had been organized at only 60% of the cost of normal flights. Since the very beginning the motto of the company has been “good service” because it is a pleasure to see happy people who come back even after twenty years and tell you they remember what good times they had travelling through the agency.
