Introducing Greece

Greece beckons virtually every type of traveler. From dynamic cities like Athens and Thessaloniki to quaint seaside villages on remote islands, you are certain to find something right for you. Experience the country like a local with the help of kimkim's local specialists, taking in the beauty of today and feeling the weight of past centuries.

When is the best time to visit?
Greece is incredible year-round, but since it is an internationally renowned destination, expect crowds in the premier tourist destinations from late spring through early fall and during holidays. If you have the flexibility, try and visit during the "shoulder seasons" from late April through May and late September through October. Winter is a great time to visit mainland Greece, but many islands virtually shut down during this period. Learn more

Where should I go in Greece?
Athens and Santorini are famous for a reason and shouldn't be missed. But Greece has a virtually endless list of islands and other regions that are lesser-known (and less crowded) but offer an authentic Greek experience, from Naxos to mainland highlights like Nafplio and Meteora. Your local specialist can help you find the perfect destinations for you. Learn more

How many days do I need?
A week is barely enough to scratch the surface of the highlights of Greece, but it is enough to visit Athens and an island or two. Two weeks or more is the ideal amount of time to experience Greece's history, scenic beauty, and culture. And no matter how long you stay, you'll undoubtedly want to return for your next visit. Learn more

Getting around Greece
Ferries are a great option for convenient (and scenic) island-hopping, though it's good to note that routes and schedules can shift throughout the year. Driving is a good bet on the mainland but can be challenging on the islands. If short on time, domestic flights connect Athens to many major points of interest in Greece. Learn more

A Truly Unforgettable Greece Experience — Thanks to Angela (Aggeliki)!

We just returned from an incredible 12-day journey through Greece, covering Athens, Naxos, Santorini, Paros, and back to Athens — and wow, what a trip! From the moment we started planning with Angela (Aggeliki), we knew we were in great hands.

She carefully crafted a beautiful, balanced itinerary that combined just the right mix of guided experiences and free time to explore. We absolutely loved the food tour in Naxos, the mythology tours, wine tasting in Naxos, the catamaran cruise in Santorini, and the cooking class in Paros. Each experience felt curated and authentic.

We did have to cancel our private rib boat cruise in Paros (sadly!), but based on everything else Angela put together, we know it would have been amazing. Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned — especially with travel — and that’s where Angela truly shined. When our flights were disrupted at the beginning of the trip (through no fault of KimKim), she stepped in immediately and helped us adjust everything so we could still make the most of our time. Her responsiveness, calm demeanor, and problem-solving were invaluable.

Every transfer, hotel, and activity went off without a hitch. The people, the food, the landscapes — it all exceeded our expectations. And behind it all was Angela, ensuring we had the trip of a lifetime.

Highly recommend using KimKim and especially working with Angela. We’re so grateful for the memories and already dreaming of our next adventure!

I can summarize our trip to Greece in one word, "outstanding". Angela (Aggeliki) worked with us for many weeks over an eight month period putting an itinerary together for our three week trip. We started with a preliminary outline and over time with Angela's guidance we refined our trip to accommodate our interest. As architects and builders our focus were on architectural sites, historical references, time on the water and embracing the Greek culture. We put our trust in Angela to help pick out daily tours to fulfill our interests. To summarize our itinerary we started in Athens-two nights, day trip to Hydra. Flew to Paros for four nights with day trips to Iso and Antiparos via private boat and captain. Ferry to Naxos for two nights, ferry to Santorini for three nights, ferry to Heraklion (Crete) for four nights, Chania for two nights and back to Athens for two nights. On each island Angela set us up with amazing tours with spectacular well educated local tour guides. We learned so much about the architecture, foods, history of Greece, culture, etc. Our guided tours took us to many small villages and ruins on each island that most tourist do not have the time to experience. Our guides had personal relationships with most of the restaurant owners in the small villages in the islands back country areas. The host's were so gracious, inundating us with massive amounts of local culinary treats. I think we actually ate our way through Greece. Over three weeks we had one or two bumps in the road based on our schedule and Angela was so easy to make contact with. Either through the Kimkim site or Whatsapp she always responded and solved any situation that arose. One of the best features was that Angela would send us all our ferry passes for each excursion and there was always an on time driver to pick us up at the airport, ferry or hotel to take us to our next destination. Not being familiar with the country, this was extremely comforting. All the drivers were very friendly and always made us feel comfortable. To top off our trip Angela really stepped up her game and was able to satisfy one desire while in Athens. She obtained tickets to the Roman amphiteater, Odeon of Herodes Atticus completed in 161 AD at the base of the Acropolis to see the Puccini-Turandot opera. What a way to end a trip. I highly recommend Angela, she was always so supportive and engaging. Our trip to Greece was absolutely fantastic.

Hotel Reviews
Ivis 4 Boutique Hotel
Athens

Mixed feelings on our stay at Ivis 4. Our room was wonderful and the location was easy walking distance to the Psyri area, market place and other locations of interest. The pictures in the marketing brochures show a roof deck with great views of the Acropolis. When we opened the curtains to our second floor room, our balcony view was of a two story abandoned building that was falling apart. When I inquired about our room location and asked about the views of the Acropolis I was told that room is a large suite on the top floor. The first night we arrived we were going to bed and there was loud music from the adjacent restaurants around the corner. I called down to the desk to inquire about when the noise would subside. I was told "around 2:00 am, because it was from the local bars". The desk person asked me if I wanted ear plugs. That was not a good sign. The second night was not as bad. Maybe our first night was just one of those nights. The breakfast was by menu only, not buffet like most hotels. The food was very good though. The hotel lobby and bar area is very comfortable and the front desk staff was very helpful with questions. To sum up our stay, I would say if you want a quiet place to sleep, this isn't the best location. The hotel was very nice, clean and in a good location, just not what we expected.

The hotel offers a beach bag with towels for your use for the beach. The manager George was so helpful with anything we needed. The roof top pool deck was so wonderful.

The hotel is top notch. Unfortunately it is a forty-five minute drive from Heracklion, the heart of Crete. The hotel buffet breakfast by the pool deck was beautiful with a full view of the ocean. The rooms are well designed and very comfortable. Since most of our excursions were to the east we would have preferred to stay on the east side of the island before going to our second destination of Chania on the farwest side of the island. Since the hotel is centrally located you need a car to go anywhere. We took a taxi down the hill to the seaside village for dinner two times. The hotel overall is a beautiful design, quiet and very relaxing. If you are use to going out at night to shop or just walk around like we did on the islands of Naxos and Paros, this location is not for you. There is nothing around but other hotels and houses.

This place was amazing. Our host explained that history behind our apartment style accommodations.

The apartment had a full kitchen and two bathrooms. The views from both the lower and upper roof decks were amazing. Full view of the Caldera. Our location was in the middle of the village of Imerovigli which was quite and relaxing. Most of the tourist venture to Fira to the east and Oia to the west. This location was in between so it was quiet and not the throngs of tourist walking by. Our host cooked us breakfast every morning based on our likes. The food was fantastic. The location was an easy fifteen minute walk to Fira and other points of interest. A number of grocery stores and restaurants were less than a five minute walk away.

We had a lower floor (pool level) room and on the last morning a floor drain in the hallway overflowed and water came into our room. Things happen so we didn't make to much of a deal about it. Luckily we were leaving that morning and had everything packed. We only stayed two nights, we were comfortable but we would have preferred to stay somewhere else.
