Orbito Travel

Orbito Travel is an online travel company founded in 2022 and based in Athens, Greece, that specializes in providing services for travelers with mobility disabilities or reduced mobility. The company was founded by Ilias Alexakis. Orbito Travel operates as a comprehensive, end-to-end booking platform, allowing users to plan and book their entire trip through a single online transaction.

The platform offers a range of verified, mobility-friendly travel components, including accessible transportation, accommodation, activities, and transfers. A key feature is the company's verification process, where its team personally visits and evaluates locations for wheelchair accessibility, including ramps and restrooms, to ensure they meet the necessary standards. To further aid in travel planning, Orbito Travel provides virtual tours of listed locations, allowing users to visually confirm the suitability of a place before booking. The business model includes both direct-to-consumer (B2C) solutions and business-to-business (B2B) services for Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) and other strategic partners.

In May 2024, the company successfully completed its first funding round, securing €125,000. The financing was coordinated by Investing for Purpose with participation from the Hellenic Business Angels Network (HeBAN), supporting the startup's mission to enhance accessibility in the tourism sector. Orbito Travel is an IATA-accredited travel agent and was part of the CapsuleT accelerator program, which is run by the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels.
