We believe words and names have power. They can destroy, create and sometimes a single word can change everything. Drawing inspiration from precious moments and memories of the past, this is the story of how the name “AVAL” came to be.
With a respected career in finance and construction, the owner decided to enter the world of hospitality, while looking for an opportunity to meet, service, and interact with people from all over the world. As his starting point in the hospitality industry, he chose the beautiful destination of Santorini.
At the same time, AVAL is the anagram of the word LAVA. Anagrams can be traced back to the time of the ancient Greeks, and were used to find the hidden and mystical meanings in names. By definition, lava is magma once it has been expelled from a volcano. It is a word directly related to Santorini, since the island was shaped thousands of years ago by one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history.
