We had a wonderful experience with Marianna and the whole team! From figuring out what kind of trip we were looking to plan and shifting around our original itinerary to making sure every detail was handled flawlessly, Marianna was available to guide us every step of the way. She planned an amazing itinerary and all of the details (transfers/inner island flights/ferry tickets) were super organized. While we were in Greece the team was very responsive and the WhatsApp thread was super helpful in making sure we knew what was next and we never felt we needed to stress about anything! We did an amazing bike tour and cooking class on Naxos with Aurelia Bikes and it was our family’s favorite excursion but here were so many good ones to choose from. ATVs on Santorini and a boat tour allowed us to see much of the island. Excursions were all different and spaced so that we still had free time to explore on our own. The guided tours in Athens and Naxos were amazing as well. Overall we are so happy with the itinerary and the entire trip. Thank you so much for making our vacation so memorable and easy!

Like most of Santorini had a lot of steps! Most rooms have a private hot tub. AC wasn’t great but they fixed it. Close to all the action in Fira. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Staff was fantastic and responded quickly with any questions or requests. Would recommend rooms 1-5. They are up higher with better views.

Eirini planned an amazing trip to Greece. I have never used a travel agent before and will always use one again. She made everything so easy, no detail was overlooked--from the hotels, private drivers, to the tour guides and excursions she planned. We started in Athens and stayed in a lovely apartment right near the Acropolis. We had a private guided tour with Elena of the Acropolis and the agora. She really knew the history and the mythology and made it interesting for the entire family. We moved on to naxos and stayed at boutique hotel that was with an easy walking distance of several restaurants and the beach. We had another tour of the village of chilaki, and visited a small farm with a petting zoo that might kids loved. The following day we did a hiking tour of several villages and got to eat more of the local cuisine. Finally we did a full day catamaran tour that included diving off the sailboat and to the Aegean and snorkeling. Finally we visited Santorini with a tour of the island, visiting a monastery a museum about the lost city of Atlantis, and another sailboat excursion. I have already highly recommended Kim Kim and Eirini to several of my friends. I can't wait to visit Greece again. We plan to use Kim Kim again next year when we plan our next trip abroad.

Argo Boutique Hotel
Naxos

This place felt cramped including the breakfast area, the bedrooms for four people, the pool, etc. The staff was generally kind and welcoming. We did have an issue with my mom being locked out of the main building when we were trying to check out at 5:30am for our 7:15am flight. No one was at the desk and we had to leave cash to pay for water we had purchased since no one was there. Otherwise the hotel was clean, it was in a good location and the staff was generally friendly and helpful.

The boat should have life preservers for those who are not good swimmers (like myself) and would like to go into the water. I have never been on a boat that did not have them and was disappointed.

There are so many choices for them out there. that was a bit disappointing as well.

The driver arrived on time and took us around to the usual stops that tourists want to see in Santorini. I mentioned that I wanted to see the ruins and he at first was hesitant to take us there and I had to insist. He admitted he never went there and knew nothing about it. I am a history buff and taught Greek history in middle school. He finally said he would and it was so worth the trip. I would have preferred a driver who knew of some of the "off the beaten path" places to see rather than the view of Santorini from a bunch of different points of view.

The Kimkim app and chat/comment functions made planning the trip so much easier than the typical email back and forth, as I could see the detail in all of the hotels and tours we were considering. When I needed to speak in person to Gustavo, that was easy to schedule as well.

All of the guides on our trip were amazing and extremely knowledgeable. Two of our guides (in Mycenae and Monemvasia) were even trained archeologists! Our hiking guides in Meteora and Bali Canyon were experienced guides as was our river rafting guide in the North and our kayaking guide in Epidaurus. We loved our truffle hunting and pasta lunch in the forest as well as our Acropolis tasting tour (a great way to stay awake on our arrival day)! The positives are truly too numerous to mention.

The hotels we picked with assistance from Gustavo all met or exceeded expectations, and each of our car transfers were seamlessly executed, to our pleasant surprise. Communications while in country were easy and responsive when we inquired about making some adjustments for transfers during the course of the trip.

I would not hesitate to use Kimkim again for our next trip and recommend them without reservation!

Our 10-day journey through Greece was the perfect way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. From the moment we arrived until our final sunset in Santorini, every detail was thoughtfully planned by Marianna, who created an experience that balanced history, culture, adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Over the course of our trip, we visited Athens, Milos, and Santorini, accumulating an impressive 101,721 steps along the way. Somewhere between climbing the Acropolis, wandering the historic streets of Athens, exploring the breathtaking beaches of Milos, enjoying food tours through local neighborhoods, sailing through the Santorini caldera, and completing the famous caldera hike, I began to appreciate the wisdom of the Greek philosophers. Socrates encouraged us to examine life. Greece gave us 101,721 opportunities to do exactly that.

Athens was the perfect introduction to Greece. Standing atop the Acropolis and looking across a city that has shaped Western civilization for thousands of years was both humbling and inspiring. Our food tours introduced us to the flavors that define Greek culture, where every meal felt less like dining and more like participating in a tradition that has been passed down through generations.

Milos captured our hearts with its authentic charm and stunning natural beauty. We spent hours exploring picturesque villages, relaxing on extraordinary beaches, and discovering hidden corners of the island. One of the highlights was visiting the beautiful castle overlooking the island, where the panoramic views of the Aegean Sea created one of those rare moments that no photograph can fully capture.

Santorini provided a spectacular finale. Sailing through the caldera offered a unique perspective of the island’s dramatic volcanic landscape, while the caldera hike rewarded us with some of the most breathtaking views we have ever experienced. Every turn seemed to reveal another scene worthy of a postcard.

Beyond the scenery and historic sites, what impressed us most were the Greek people themselves. Everywhere we traveled, we met individuals who were deeply proud of their heritage and genuinely eager to share it. Whether speaking with local guides, restaurant owners, shopkeepers, or fellow travelers, we experienced a level of warmth and hospitality that made us feel welcomed rather than simply accommodated. Their love for their history was contagious, and their stories brought every destination to life.

Of course, no trip to Greece would be complete without experiencing its culinary staples. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, traditional pastries, olive oil, and dishes prepared from recipes perfected over generations became highlights of our daily adventures. Every meal was an opportunity to learn something new about the culture.

As Aristotle wrote, “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” That perfectly describes Marianna’s approach to planning this trip. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and thoughtful recommendations transformed a vacation into a once-in-a-lifetime anniversary celebration.

We returned home with incredible memories, a deeper appreciation for Greece’s remarkable history and culture, and 101,721 steps worth of stories. For anyone considering a journey to Greece, I cannot recommend Marianna and Kimkim highly enough.

Agali Houses
Firostefani 00

Agali Houses delivered a flawless experience from check-in to check-out. The hospitality was exceptional, with a team that was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every moment special. The rooms were stunning. Spacious, elegant, and beautifully designed, they perfectly captured the charm and aesthetics of Santorini while providing every modern comfort imaginable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and relaxing. The sunsets were simply unforgettable. Somehow, each evening’s view seemed even more breathtaking than the one before. Watching the sun melt into the Aegean Sea became the highlight of every day and a memory we will cherish for years. The room offered every creature comfort we could ask for, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the beauty surrounding us. Each morning, breakfast was a wonderful bonus, featuring fresh, delicious selections that started every day on the perfect note. Agali Houses is more than just a hotel. It is an experience defined by beauty, comfort, and world-class hospitality. If you’re visiting Santorini and looking for an unforgettable stay, this is the place.

My Daughter and I have just returned from the most amazing vacation to Greece that was booked through KimKim and was organised and taken care of 100% by Eirini.
We have loved Mamma Mia the movie and show since we saw it, my Daughters dream has been to go to Skiathos and Skopelos so Eirini made it happen. We explained what we wanted and Eirini came back with the most amazing trip that we have ever been on. Every step of the way was perfect starting off in Athens bring picked up from the airport and taken to The Foundry suites. We met the beautiful Elena who was our tour guide for the afternoon at the Acropolis and ending at one of the red that Eirini had recommended that we loved.
We were picked up and dropped off to every location along the way. In Skiathos we had a private boat tour around Skopelos and Skiathos stopping along the way to swim if we wished, take in the sights and having an amazing lunch cooked by the captain.
Then a ferry over to Skopelos for three nights staying at Minno and having again an amazing tour of all the Mamma Mia filming sites before enjoying the afternoon on Kastani beach. We had plenty of time to relax even though it was a full on trip. We’ve made the most amazing memories.
I will be booking a holiday again through Kimkim and will be reaching out to Eirini for our next adventure to Greece.

Thank you Eirini for all that you did for us

We recently returned from an amazing trip to Greece planned through Kimkim, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

First, the app was fantastic. I'll admit, I was hesitant about downloading "yet another app," but it ended up being one of the most valuable parts of the trip. Everything was incredibly well organized and easy to navigate. Having the itinerary broken down day by day took all the stress out of travel. There was no constant checking, verifying, or figuring out logistics. Each evening, I could simply open the app and immediately see what the next day held—activities, times, transportation details, and recommendations. It made traveling feel effortless.

The hotels selected for us were excellent throughout the trip. Our favorite hotel was in Naxos, which offered a wonderful combination of comfort, location, and hospitality. As for the islands themselves, Milos was our favorite destination. Its stunning scenery, unique beaches, and laid-back atmosphere made it unforgettable.

One thing that really stood out was how often fellow travelers asked about our itinerary and how organized everything seemed. I ended up telling several people about Kimkim and even showed them the app. Every one of them said they would definitely check it out for future travel planning.

Overall, Kimkim made our Greece trip smooth, stress-free, and memorable. I would absolutely use them again and 100% recommend them to anyone planning a trip.

The hotel is very nice. The lobby is a bit tired, but I think having everything white makes keeping it looking 100% nearly impossible. While the staff were all nice, the vibe was kind of "trying to be more cosmopolitan that we really are". While there were common areas for guests the gather, there were signs like "no eating or drinking here", which kind of makes you not want to hang out and talk to people!

Authenticity & Character
The hotel has kind of a "stuffy" or unwelcoming vibe. The lobby area is pretty, but a little tired. The breakfast area and seating is also very nice, but the overall feeling is "don't hang out here".
Location
The location is good, a little noisy as it's on a busy side road - we had a balcony on the street side, and I'm betting that the Garden side is much quieter. The garden is lovely - quiet, peaceful, clean, with tables and seating. There are nice beaches and many restaurants all very close by, as well as grocery stores, and it's a 10 minute walk to the port/ferry/bus area.

Baked goods, sweets, savory, cereals...literally SO much to choose from. The porch on our room overlooked the natural field next door and the sea below - stunning, peaceful, safe - perfect. The hot tub and heated pool that we could reserve for private use was fantastic after our long days of sight-seeing, walking, hiking and exploring.

The E-Bike Exploration of Milos Highlights and Beaches was one of our favorite activities in Greece. Our guide had a very relaxed, easygoing style that made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. He was knowledgeable about the island and shared plenty of information at each stop, but never overdid it or turned the experience into a lecture. What we especially appreciated was that he quickly recognized that our group of four were experienced cyclists. Rather than making us ride at a very slow pace, he allowed us to have some fun on the bikes while still keeping the group safe and together. It struck the perfect balance between sightseeing and actually enjoying the ride. We never felt rushed and were given plenty of time at each stop to take photos, explore, and enjoy the scenery. As an added bonus, he shared a local treat with us, which was a thoughtful touch and added to the authentic feel of the experience. If you're looking for a fun, active way to see Milos with a knowledgeable and adaptable guide, this tour is highly recommended.

Paros

We were disappointed with the Paros E-Bike Tour because it did not match the experience that was advertised. The tour was supposed to last approximately four hours, but our experience was under two hours. We also did not visit any of the sites listed in the tour description, which was a major reason we booked it in the first place. The description mentioned local food, but the only snack provided was a packaged power bar. We were also expecting water bottles, which were not provided, although the guide did offer us lemonade during one of our stops. We rode to Monastiri Beach and were directed toward the hike to the lighthouse, but were only given 30 minutes to complete it, which simply wasn't enough time to fully enjoy the walk and the views before needing to return. Our guide was very pleasant and friendly, but she seemed somewhat distracted throughout the tour. She took several phone calls and frequently discussed a cooking class she was hosting later that evening, emphasizing how important it was because it involved 15 guests and significant revenue. Unfortunately, this left us feeling as though our tour was not her primary focus. Overall, the e-bikes were fun and Paros is beautiful, but the experience fell well short of the advertised itinerary, duration, and inclusions.

We enjoyed our Private Hike to the Mountain of Zeus and found our guide to be friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. He shared interesting information about the history, landscape, and local culture throughout the hike. The only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that the pace was slower than we would have preferred. There were quite a few stops along the way and more time spent resting at the summit than we needed. Since we're from Colorado, the elevation wasn't a factor for us and we're both experienced, fit hikers who would have enjoyed moving at a faster pace. That said, the scenery was beautiful, the guide was excellent, and it was a memorable way to experience Naxos.

This was cancelled due to the change to a pickup time 2 hours earlier than we were informed. This would have meant no breakfast or coffee, and a very long drive each way. Not what we had anticipated.

Your review made me smile, thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful recap! It makes me so happy to hear that the app made everything feel effortless, that's exactly what we strive for. And I love that you were out there spreading the word to fellow travelers in Greece, that is the highest compliment! Milos and Naxos are two of my absolute favorites, so I am glad to know those destinations left such a lasting impression. Excited to have you back with us for your next trip!

Kudos to Kimkim for planning a fantastic trip to Greece!

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Greece. Both Siena and Lea were wonderful to work with, curating a fantastic trip according to our wish list, following up to ensure all of our questions were answered, and checking in during our vacation to confirm that all was well. We enjoyed each and every activity and location as they were all varied and enjoyable. Our absolute favorites were the Ancient Athens Acropolis Walk (the guide was very engaging and informative), the Naxos Old Town Food Walk (the guide was perfectly delightful), and the Sunset Caldera Catamaran Cruise (the crew was outstanding!). Having said that, I truly loved all of the other activities, too. The self-guided hike from Fira to Oia (in Santorini) was a great challenge with the best of views and the ultimate satisfaction upon completion. Thank you a million times for making our mother-son trip the absolute best it could be. I will recommend Kimkim to all of my family and friends, and will get in touch for another trip in the future.

Marsha, what a joy it was to plan this mother-son adventure for you and Carter — hearing that the Fira-to-Oia hike felt like a personal triumph (and that the catamaran sunset delivered!) makes every detail worth it! Lea and I loved curating this trip around your wish list, and the glowing words about each guide is so special. We can't wait to help plan the next one! 🌊✨

After 20 years, my husband and I decided to take a trip to Greece for my birthday. Erica helped make this dream to Athens and Santorini a reality. It was the best vacation that we have ever had. We didn't have to worry about transportation from the airport to the hotel, or on any of our excursions. She took care all of it. I had no stress planning this trip. She heard what we wanted, our budget, and she planned it out so we didn't feel overwhelmed.

The day before we were to fly out, Erica took the time to go over our itinerary and answered any questions that we needed. She prepared us for our first European trip. Without her I don't know what we would have done.

I have never been on a trip where I didn't feel stress. We were able to enjoy ourselves, with amazing views, food, and experiences without having to worry over what to do next. It was well balanaced.

We will be using these services again. Thank you so much for what you did for us, and made it the best birthday ever. Thank you Erica for everything.

Hotel Keti is located over 115 stair below the main walk way and shops. Be prepared to get your steps in. Beautifully located on the side of the cliff, they have amazing views. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff were the most wonderful people we had ever met. Friendly and knowledgeable. They were always happy to help us from restaurant recommendations , to how to get on the bus and go to Oia. We really appreciated their customer service and graciousness. They made us feel at home. We hope to return back .

Katerina was our tour guide and she is awesome. My husband and found how she told the stories of the tour to be amazing. She was so detailed and made you feel like as you walked that you were getting a once in a life time experience. She took us on a little hike that showed the Parthenon in the background, to tasting delicious ice cream and sorbet. Along the trip we stopped at a local cafe, where we tasted Greek coffee, which my husband loves, and I tried another type of coffee and love it as well. Out of the whole trip this was our favorite excursion. We hope to do the food tour with her when we go back.
