Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Ultra modern hotel in the Psyrri neighborhood, five minutes from Monastiraki Square and the Ancient Agora, but not in an area overrun by tourists. The neighborhood is "up-and coming", with some popular restaurants, and near the interesting Central Market. Some streets near the hotel were a little bit more grungy, but we never felt unsafe. The staff was extremely kind and the included breakfast delicious!

This hotel is located above Old Town but a short 5-10 minute walk gets you into the heart of Mykonos Town. The views from the hotel restaurant and pool are incredible as are the sunset views! The restaurant is pricey but delicious. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

Situated on the main road coming into the beach town of Agios Procopios, it is a charming hotel with rooms arranged like little villas, each with their own private balcony. Our room did have a view of the beach which was a 10 minute walk away. It was in easy walking distance into the little beach town with the numerous restaurants and tiny shops and the beachfront with abundant beach chairs. Since we were there during shoulder season, our beach chair rental was front row and paid for with one set of drinks from the adjacent bar. What a bargain! Incredible views of the sunset from the beach!

KimKim assisted us in our hotel selections for a number of the island's we were on in Greece. Our favorite was the Astro Palace in Santorini is all you can expect out of a luxury hotel. Situated right in the heart of Fira everything on the island was at our fingertips. Must point out their breakfast buffet is top-notch as well!

The Ippokompos Beachfront is a classic seaside bungalow just a short walk to the center of everything Naxos.

The Harmony is minutes from all Mykonos has to offer. Right on the port you find amazing restaurants and windmills. Would stay again when back in Mykonos.

This hotel was absolutely amazing. Beautiful doesn’t do it justice. The people were so helpful and went a step above to make sure every need was met and more. My whole family wished we had had more time to spend there.

This was a great way to understand modern day Athens. It was fun, different and interesting. And the food was delicious. It was at our own pace which was great- plenty of time to ask questions and take pictures.

The beaches of Milos are beautiful! Though the weather wasn’t ideal, we had a great time and still got to see and do a lot. To get up so close to the caves was exciting for all of us.

Despite the weather not being very good, we had a great time. Our guide was wonderful. He gave us options to keep going, or he could have arranged for transportation to take us where we would have ultimately hike to, but we all chose to continue to hike. We all had a wonderful experience.

Everyone who was involved with this experience or so wonderful. Our Driver, who took us there, gave us so much history on the way there. She was extremely personable and make sure we are on time there and for our next experience, and make sure we knew exactly where we were going. During our experience at the farm and making the lunch, the women were so delightful. You could tell they loved what they did and where they lived, and their enthusiasm was catching. Unfortunately, for us, we had just had a large breakfast and our experience within the morning, so we were not as hungry as we might have been when it was time for us to eat. But it was fun learning how to make some of the typical Greek food, and even more fun getting to taste it all.

It was such an interesting tour, as we had always heard of the acropolis, but had really no idea of what it was or why it came to be. It was fun to learn the history. Though it was obviously a lot of walking and up a very steep hill, it was done in such a way that it was very tolerable. We were glad that we were not doing it in the heat of the summer!

My kids had an absolute blast on this tour. They felt like the E bikes were more like motorcycles, and they enjoyed the ride. Our Guide was wonderful about explaining that there had been a bad storm the day before, so the ride was going to be a little bit different. He had offered to change days for the E bike tour, but due to our schedule, we were unable to change. However, he adapted the dinner reservation, so we were all able to attend, even though we did not choose to ride the bike bikes secondary to the weather. He was also flexible when my husband chose to not complete the ride after dinner! He provided great communication with myself, when I chose not to ride at the last minute, so I was able to meet up with the rest of the family. It was a great experience for all of us.

It was a beautiful drive and fun to try all the different restaurants. We were a little disappointed in the winery at the end. We felt like we were a little bit rushed, and the explanations of the wine was very brief. But it had also been a long day and we were tired. And we have been catered to so much on the rest of the trip, that maybe our expectations were a little too high for the winery.

First, this is a nice hotel, nothing is really "wrong" with it, but it is literally at the top of a hill, and only accessible by stairs that are fairly steep. If you're walking back from town you're going to be really winded by the time you get back to your room. As with most European hotels, the rooms are very small, and you cannot take a shower without soaking the entire bathroom.

The rooms are very clean and generously sized, but the absolute best part of this hotel is that they deliver breakfast to your room in the morning, which you can eat outside while looking at the ocean.

Something to be aware of is that this hotel is kind of spread out. So you might check in at the front desk, and then walk down the street and around the corner to the building where your room is actually located. That said, the rooms themselves are really lovely. On the the smaller side, which is to be expected, but they are very well decorated and clean. The highlight for me is that this hotel had a shower with actual doors that close all the way (if you've traveled in Europe at all, you know what I'm talking about!). I did not go to breakfast, but others in a group did and noted that it was just ok.

Rooftop bar with view of the Acropolis, amazing

A lot of stairs down to our room, but well worth it! Amazing breakfast delivered to our room.

Nice community outdoor seating area, great rooms, wonderful breakfast buffet. The two reception ladies were exceptional, always helping with whatever we needed.

Beautiful hotel with wonderful outer bar and restaurant. Excellent breakfast buffet, friendly staff. The private hot tub was very nice after our hiking and kayaking trips. The spa hot tub was nice also with our group of friends.

Simple, clean, quaint hotel. Wonderful location right in the middle of the sites. The sweet ladies working here made all the difference! So kind and helpful and welcoming! Bed was also soooo comfortable and the breakfast was delicious!

Beautiful! Our weather wasn’t great and it was still beautiful. They had a main jacuzzi and our room had a jacuzzi and neither were kept warm. This was rhe only negative to our stay. We even asked but no one followed up. We were told it would be about 90 during our tour, but it was always cold. For October we would have loved to sit outside in the hot water, but they never heated them. I did love leaving all our windows open. Very private with a wonderful view. The hotel was clean and the staff was kind and helpful.

Breath taking. Beautiful. The staff went more above and beyond than any place I have ever been. I felt like royalty here and the staff worked so hard, I almost wanted to jump in and help them! Truly a wonderful place!

We had a cold day but George and Yanis were wonderful!

Nice hotel, great balcony view, helpful staff, delicious breakfast, Location is perfect for walking to Kalambaka or Kastraki. The privacy lock on the door did not work, and showers are on the small side, soap the walls and spin!

Wonderful views, very helpful staff, breakfast served in the room. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Hotel balcony is great for lounging, views, soaking in the pool, and dining. Location convenient for walking to the beach and local restaurants/sites.

Very nice staff, comfortable room, nice view. Breakfast was delicious and evening bar options were amazing. Dinner is also available onsite.

Easy experience to do on our own. The Venetian castle was a short walk from our hotel.

Very nice walking tour with Katrina. It felt like we were spending the day with a friend who lived in Greece. She shared stories about the area and the history. Took us to a quaint coffee house for Greek Coffee. We also went to lunch and explored a wide range of Greek Cuisine. This is perfect for anyone who wants to get away from the crowded tourists sites and enjoy the local culture!

Our driver picked us up and we met our tour guide at the Mushroom Museum. Then we followed the guide to the truffle hunting area. We met the handler for Lara the Italian Water dog/truffle hunting dog, and the chef, Alexandria. Lara demonstrated her amazing skill at finding truffles. Alexandria had prepared three different types of mushrooms for appetizers. Alexandria cooked mushrooms and pasta over an open flame. We enjoyed a delicious lunch and wine on a beautiful sunny day. We also enjoyed some time at the Mushroom Museum and Natural History Museum.

Great day relaxing on the beach and walking the town.

Great adventure, food, coffee, and wonderful sites. Love the Olive Oil Mill tour. Our driver Yainis, was entertaining, informative, and a talented singer. The lunch views are beautiful.

Wonderful day climbing with Costas! It was great to try something new with someone so experienced and safety conscious! We loved this activity!

Great tour guide! Very informative! Wear good walking shoes and be prepared for uneven paths/stairs. It was a bit windy then day we toured Acropolis/Parthenon.

Small van tour. It was very nice being picked up and dropped off at our hotels. Very busy tourist site. Informative information about the area and history. Amazing views and sunset!

Our guide was outstanding! He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We loved visiting the old olive oil mill for a tour and tasting. Also had a great lunch and saw beautiful, small villages.

Dimitri was outstanding! He was so energetic and entertaining! The tour of Lefkes was so enjoyable. Dimitri also did a great job adapting when it rained heavily for a few hours during our tour. He took us to our now favorite restaurant in all of Greece for an amazing lunch!

Mario was wonderful! Extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. We really enjoyed visiting the small, less crowded parts of Santorini. The Akrotiri visit was also extremely interesting and enjoyable.

Unbelievable views, fabulous crew, great food! Really enjoyed swimming in the caldera and an amazing sunset!

Really enjoyable. Beautiful views and historic sight seeing.

Fun tour of a nice family vineyard. One of my wife’s favorite activities on our trip.

Hotel was average. Everyone was VERY nice and accommodating.

Walkable to town. Nice outdoor area. Wish we would have had our own balcony.

Depending on your room; it could be a hike! The staff were very nice. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice outdoor area.

The guide was good but not as thorough as some. The tour lacked luster in some areas. The winery was phenomenal But, all in all a good excursion and I would do it again.

Great experience and a must-do! Met great people and the food and wine were fabulous! We didn’t get to see much of the sunset because of clouds - but, seeing Santorini from the ocean was phenomenal.

This is a must do. I would have preferred to do at the beginning of the trip.

This tour was around 10 hours so be prepared. Our driver was wonderful. He explained the culture and history so well! I’m so glad we went

Such a great excursion to learn about the island of Mykonos. You do not want to drive in Mykonos and this tour will take you everywhere you need to go!

I can’t say enough good things about this cooking class! I learned so much! My husband even enjoyed it! We made spinach pie, stuffed tomatoes, tzatziki and had lots of wine!

We had a delightful driver for this day long trip. He was very knowledgeable, as was our guide at the temple of Apollo and museum. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Athena, was very knowledgeable. She had a good pace for our tour and managed to find shady spots for her discussions! She was delightful and we learned so much. Highly recommend her services.

Our guide, Christina, was very knowledgeable. She had took us all around southern part of Sifnos. The village of Kastro is not to be missed! The pottery studio tour was a nice stop too. She was delightful and we learned so much. Highly recommend her services.

Our guide, Fotis, was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories of growing up in Greece. The tour was small & well paced. We were able to try so many different Greek specialties that none of us needed dinner later! He was a delightful guide with an easy manner, we learned so much. Highly recommend his services.

Pro: easy walking distance to town. Friendly staff, spacious room. Cons: Located near elementary school, so you can hear the children playing in the play ground. Drop off and pick up is on top of the hill from the hotel, approximately 50 yards

Pros: AMAZING view Cons: air conditioner does not work well. no ventilation in the bathroom Note: stairs to climb from room to main street, so if you are out of shape this may not be the hotel for you

Pros: located in the heart of old town. easy access to restaurants, shops Cons: certain transport vans are not able to enter narrow street to pick you up in front of the hotel. No busboy which means you need to carry your own luggage.

GORGEOUS! Purchased by Venetian captain as his house, now transformed into a beautiful hotel. Passed on generation to generation. Hotel is run by 3rd generation granddaughter. In the heart of town. We loved it.

Private tour into the mountains of Crete. Lush, green, sheep and goat along the way. Grapes straight off the vine (soooo sweet). This island is very different from Santorini or Mykonos we've also visited.

I liked that our tour guide took us into a town where the locals live. He knew where all the good spots for photo were.

THIS was an awesome experience. We yachted around the island of Santorini. The best part?! The lunch. I was expecting a little bite, but NO! It was a spread. Salad, pasta, kabob, wine, dip, etc.

We love everything about this hotel, the location, the staff, the rooms and the restaurant. We had been to the Milos restaurants in three other locations, and this one definitely held his own and was much more intimate.

We generally like this hotel a lot. Our biggest drawback was location in that we were further from the town and then we would have liked to have been and there wasn’t much to do in the area of the hotel since it was not really beach weather. Our room overlooked a parking lot, which was less than ideal when we were sitting on our balcony and trying to use the hot tub.

This hotel was ideally situated a short walk from the village of Naousa. However, we did not love our room. The sink and bathroom area were really unusable with nowhere to put anything and shelves where everything fell through. We thought the staff was great and were helpful, including when arranging for a rental car.

We loved the location and character of this hotel. It was great to be outside of OIA and Fira. We also received an upgrade to a senior suite which had an amazing balcony and view of the Caldera. It was extremely private, and we rarely saw other people and our stay.

We really enjoyed our tour and our guide as mentioned above. We particularly thought the new museum was fantastic architecturally and content.

We enjoyed touring 2 contrasting villages which showed the modernization of the island. We got to linger over a beautiful coffee and cookies moment and visit a jeweler who had the exact thing we are searching for as a gift for our granddaughter.

For this day, we rented a car that was dropped off at our hotel and drove to take the short ferry ride to Antiparos. This was one of the highlights of our trip. We were able to explore and have a coffee in the little village, drive to the ancient caves and walk all the way down to explore. We also drove the rocky roads to some very secluded beaches and even were able to take a swim. We had a fantastic lunch at Captain Pipini’s

Another highlight of our trip. We enjoyed our private cruise with lovely staff. We were able to swim in the volcanic hot spring mixed with the sea. We were made a lovely lunch and got to relax and view the extraordinary landscapes of Santorini from the sea. A special shout out to the kimkim team. Because of predicted for voting whether we were able to rearrange the timing of this trip to a day earlier than scheduled. They were able to do this seamlessly on the fly and it worked out great.

This activity was good, not great. We were looking for more of a farm Table experience and this was more of a generic tour of a store and working farm that really didn’t have much going on.

Because we had to reschedule this by a day, our guide was unable to do the scheduled trip to Attie. Therefore, we had to do this trip on our own in the morning of that day. Because of this there was not that much to do on this tour and while we enjoyed it, we sort of ran out of things to do by the end of the tour.

We found both Oia and Fira very crowded with tourists and cruise ship passengers., Weil the views in Oiaare spectacular the crowds take away from the enjoyment to the experience. We walked from our hotel to Vera and back and it was quite a hike with a lot of steps. Worth the view, but exhausting.

The staff was really friendly and helpful, the location was great, and the room was lovely. I would go back if I were going back to Athens.

If only for the view out our window - and on the balcony, this hotel was really over the top. The room was very nice, and the breakfast was delicious.

One of our goals in Thessaloniki was to find a nice place to celebrate my husband's birthday. The restaurant (Mamalouka) that was recommended by the hotel was a perfect fit. In addition, since the city has a lot of 1 way streets, it was a little complicated to get to the entrance to the hotel. The staff was quite helpful, including coming with me in the car to the parking. Breakfast was very good.

We were happy to be upgraded to a king room with a balcony. It was easy to walk to shopping and restaurants/tavernas. There was street parking right beside the hotel. My only complaint was that the hotel felt a little more impersonal than the other places we stayed.

It was a do not miss, although, as a high light, was also quite crowded. We also went to the Acropolis museum which was a really nice complement to the temple.

Visiting the monasteries was so interesting. We had done our homework ahead of time and were able to visit several of the more highly recommended sites.

Visiting Delphi and the oracle was really nice. We also went to the museum which was very informative. It was well laid and enjoyable to visit

The rooftop restaurant has a fantastic view of the Acropolis with delicious food and drinks (the Greek orange pie was my favorite!). The breakfast buffet each morning was one of the best we've had in all our travels, and the staff are very helpful and accommodating.

Mr. and Mrs. White Santorini in Oia offers spectacular views right outside of our room and even included a relaxing pool to lounge by or jump in to start your day. The staff are exceptional, the included breakfast is delicious, and the drinks were amazing (I highly recommend the Mr. White's Garden - they're addictive!)

The Burdock Hotel in the Beyoglu neighborhood is truly incredible, with the one of the most comfortable beds we've slept (except of course, of our bed at home). With an onsite spa, delicious food available at the bar, their restaurant, or for room service, and a staff that consistently go above and beyond, it was a pleasure just being at this hotel. As for food, I highly recommend the chicken skewers, meatballs, San Sebastian cheesecake, and one of their pasta dishes with eggplant (I can't recall the name and their menu isn't listed online) delivered to your room. The bartenders and servers are prompt, accommodating, and friendly. Easily one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, without being the priciest.

The Diamond Caldera Sunset cruise was a blast, with a fun and interactive crew, who took us to a number of beautiful spots, allowing us to jump in at numerous locations. The included meal, which was cooked on the boat, was one of the best meals we had all trip.

We had an incredible tour guide, Emrecan, who effortlessly tailored the trip to our needs, kept the conversation going (we were pretty exhausted the first day), and had wonderful recommendations for food. We enjoyed the Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Grand Bazaar very much, and had a wonderful time sitting in the Sultanahmet Square, hearing of all the history that has transformed the area over the centuries.

The tour of the Acropolis was a great time, though I would definitely take the recommendation to go early before the cruise ships overflow the place. The views are amazing and the history was fun to learn about. The Acropolis Museum was very nice, full of interesting artifacts and historical information, but having just been to the Acropolis, it felt a little less exciting and a tad redundant. If I had to do it again, I might pick another museum.

The tour was filled with fantastic views from all over the island, interesting history about the many villages and Santorini as a whole, and included a wine tasting at a winery that has been on the island for generations. Our tour guide, Giannis, was funny and knowledgeable about all of the locations we visited and made an fantastic recommendation for dinner at an excellent restaurant (41) located on a black sand beach on the south of the island.

Included a large variety of great food, with an excellent tour guide (Lev) who was engaging, knowledgeable, and able to get the entire group to interact and participate. Easily one of the best food tours we've ever done.

Our day trip to Delphi was filled with great views and interesting histories from our guide. The ruins themselves gave you a true sense of the old temple, and the museum is filled with beautiful artifacts, interesting history, and plenty of stories. The stop in Arachova was the best part, with a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, amazing views, picturesque side streets, and shops with tasty treats.

We greatly enjoyed exploring the Beyoglu area, taking in the many sites, scenes, and overall vibes of the neighborhood. Our tour guide (Emrecan again) was exceptional and tailored the tour to our interests and needs wonderfully. The unique architecture and shifting cultures over the centuries make for a truly interesting and immersive experience, including a variety of locations, buildings, streets, and scenes. Seeing the panoramic views of the city from Galata Tower was possibly my favorite part, though it was a bit pricey (going up to the top wasn't originally part of the itinerary and our tour guide warned us it was a little expensive and mentioned some alternative views that were free, but considering our limited time, we opted to anyway - which she pivoted to easily, showing us numerous highlights and nuances we likely wouldn't have noticed without her).

Room and STAFF were fantastic!!! Only stayed one night but room was Awesome.. Had a huge balconey that overlooked downtown ATHENS.. Looking forward to going back soon!!
