Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Unfortunately we were only at this hotel for one short night and had to leave early in the morning for our flight. We stayed in a penthouse room with plenty of space for our family of five (but would have been nice as a couple to get to experience some of the romantic aspects like the tub in the bedroom). The location was an easy walk to the acropolis and plenty of restaurants.

This was such a unique place to stay - in an old monastery in Old Town Chania. While we were there we were the only ones staying so it was quiet. Irene met us there early, provided amazing breakfasts each day, and was a source of information for restaurant recommendations and helping us find a dentist in an emergency. The room we had worked well for our family of 5. And the location was a very easy walk into Old Town with countless restaurants, shops, and views of the ocean.

I cannot say enough about the Greek breakfast that was provided each day. So much food and all of it delicious. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious. I would not recommend having a car here as the hotel is in old town with narrow roads. We did have to walk down the street for one of our tours as it was difficult for a larger van to approach the hotel but that is the only and minimal downside. You are right in the heart of the town with a very cool area just outside the door to explore shops and restaurants.

Fabulous time ! Highly recommend!

Spacious quarters, located a short walk from the Plaka, the Acropolis, and Arch of Hadrian.

The immersion of this experience on Delos was peak Ancient Greece and our guide Kristos brought it to life!

Two-hour tour was perfect amount of walking up the slopes of the Acropolis. Our guide Calliope was wonderful.

This hotel was very basic, but our room was HUGE, which was very helpful for our family of 4. Excellent location, right near the Acropolis and Acropolis Museum. Walkable to tons of restaurants and cafes. One thing to note: the hotel has no lobby and has only a very tiny elevator. As there is no common space, overseas travelers will need to find someplace to rest while waiting for an afternoon check in.

A thousand stars for Katerina and Maria!! This was such an incredibly special experience for our family. We made a DELICIOUS Greek meal, swapped stories, and feasted with these wonderful women. It was a way to truly connect with some local people and we loved every second of it. We will treasure the memories and recipes for a lifetime!

Delos was incredibly interesting— it’s an active archeological site. However, I wouldn’t recommend this for small children or for anyone who can’t be in the sun for several hours. It was super enjoyable but exhausting and very hot. Our guide Christos knew SO much and so loved listening to his explanations and especially loved sitting at the Greek theater! Mykonos felt short— just enough time to grab lunch and do some shopping. Perfect for someone who wants to just get a sampling of the island but not enough to really experience it.

Loved our private walk through this adorable village! It was beyond quaint and we were the only people walking around. Our guide Christos was super knowledgeable and interesting and we loved spending the day with him! The olive oil press was so cool and everything was delicious! Would highly recommend!

We LOVED this tour! Kaliope was a fabulous guide and gave us so much interesting information about the temples, the theaters, the history, and the myths. This is exactly the right way to experience the ancient ruins!

I was not satisfied with the Azure Villa Santorini. While it was spacious, it had issues like cockroaches in the kitchen, mildew and mold in the bathrooms, and a water leak. For the cost, it was not a pleasant stay. It also didn't serve breakfast, which was something we missed.

The Athenian Riviera was a wonderful stay. Although we only had one night there, it was a beautiful place with friendly staff and a nice restaurant area.

Athens Manor Houses were great. The accommodations were lovely, making our stay in Athens very enjoyable.

We were super happy with the Vanoro Hotel. The stay was comfortable and met all our expectations.

The Majo Suites Hotel in Naxos was definitely our favorite during the trip. The experience there was just perfect, and we loved everything about it.

The Sunset Caldera Catamaran Cruise was wonderful. We had a great crew and pilot. It definitely made the experience amazing.

We did a tour in Naxos that we really liked. It was a great experience exploring the Old Town with the museum, castle, and Portara. Really enjoyable.

The Private Classic Sightseeing Tour of Thessaloniki with Hello, Thessaloniki and Maria was fantastic. We had the greatest time ever learning and touring with them, and could have easily spent more days doing so.

Complimentary breakfast and wonderful accommodations.

The guy was friendly and knowledgeable.

The staff were absolutely wonderful. The pool and poolside bar were beautiful, with excellent service throughout. While it’s a short walk to the community beach, reserving loungers with umbrellas in town was incredibly easy and very reasonably priced. We loved the beach—plus, the views were simply outstanding.

The location was absolutely beautiful—and thanks to the KimKim team, we were truly beachfront! We stepped right out onto the patio and there was the beach, just steps away. Securing beach lounges was easy, and the staff were incredibly hospitable and responsive to every request. We felt like royalty the entire stay. Ask ChatGPT

The hotel pool was a bit smaller than expected—especially since we ended up using it more often due to the heatwave—but the service and hospitality from the staff more than made up for it. They were absolutely amazing!

This was definitely a family favorite. Our tour guide, Vesolli (apologies if I’m misspelling his name), was outstanding. He made the drive to the beach both entertaining and educational, while still allowing us some downtime to simply enjoy the ride. We’re so grateful for the front-row reserved umbrellas and chairs—they were a premium experience and an absolute must. As soon as we arrived at the beach, our chairs were waiting for us! The drive to the private restaurant in the small local village—featured in National Geographic for its unique historical architecture and preservation—was incredible. It quickly became one of our family’s favorite stops. The small tour group allowed for personal attention while also giving us the chance to meet another family and share the day. The guide even happily accommodated a small last-minute request to stop at a honey farm, which was another highlight. The tour guide from Chania Adventures was absolutely key to making this day such a memorable success.

Our family always includes a cooking experience in our vacations, and the KimKim team absolutely nailed it with this one. The family farm, the kitchen setup, the delicious food, and the take-home recipes were all incredible. What really set this apart was that we actually got to do the cooking ourselves—something many tours don’t allow. It felt like a truly authentic Greek culinary experience, and one we’ll never forget.

Our guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable and engaging. From start to finish, we were treated like royalty. Transportation was seamless: we were dropped off right at the entrance, met by someone who personally escorted us to our guide, and after the tour, walked back to our driver. KimKim removed all the typical travel hassles—we never once had to search or wonder where to go. Everything was perfectly coordinated.

Staff and Crew hospitality outstanding. Food on the boat was terrific. The size with the other families was great, not too crowded. Everything we were promised was provided!

Very good tour guide, and she provided us a full VIP experience. The fact it was just our family made it superior to anything else we saw. We were so grateful, we spent a small amount more to provide this one/one experience.

Not the best hotel - had to pay 30 euros for additional city taxes which I wasn't expecting. It also wasn't in close proximity to any restaurants.

Family run hotel - very friendly. Great breakfast. They accommodated all our needs - we checked in early and checked out late our final day there. Would love to stay there again.

They upgraded our junior suite to a junior suite with a pool. Oh my, amazing. Ask for room 18….. it was hard to leave. Everyone that worked there was so welcoming and helpful. I would return a 100 times.

Great location. Minutes from shops and the beach. Bus stop super close that you can take into Choros, though the hotel does also offer shuttle service. Breakfast every morning was varied and delicious. Staff was incredibly helpful. The pool is a little small but lovely. Our room was perfect, with a balconey that provided views of the ocean. I would happily stay here again.

Great location, just a few blocks away from the Acropolis and Agora. Roof top area is lovely and the breakfast was delicious. Our rooms were nice. Probably would make more sense for people looking to stay lonegr than we did (2 nights) as our rooms had a kitchenette that we did not need.

It was nice to travel to other islands and we learned a lot while in Delos but there is (as we were told) no shade at all and during the summer, it is sunny and hot. The tour of Mykonos itself was very short, though we did spend about 2.5 hours there in total. VERY touristy.

100% must do if you are in Naxos. The tour, the food, our guide (Iliana!!!) was perfect.

Our tour guide Michael was fantastic! Make sure you bring water and comfortable shoes for walking. We didn't spend much time in the Agora but the tour of the Acropolis was excellent.

Very close to many sites. Amazing view of the Acropolis at breakfast!! Once we learned how to find the separate location it was great. Perhaps written directions could be provided. Staff werevvery helpful with restaurant suggestions and any questions.

Nice hotel with amenities. Only drawback was lack of swimming pool. Easy beach access and within walking distance to Rafina square. Located at the port. Check in process was easy. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Food was pretty good.

This family owned and operated resort is very close to the beach. The pool was welcoming and refreshing. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and gracious. They were attentive and helpful.

The property manager was very welcoming and helpful. He met us on site, walked us through the features of the property and even made recommendations for food around the area.

Hands down the best thing we did the entire time we were in Greece! The captain and first mate were very gracious hosts, served us great food and drink, ensured we had a good time and were great to talk to. Being in the water and being able to see islands and beaches from a relaxing boat ride was mesmerizing!

Our guide, Valia, was a treat! She spoke English very well, knew the history and culture, offered much insight, volunteered to take pictures and was pleasant during the whole tour.

This is a lovely place to stay in Santorini. The staff here were very friendly. Breakfast was lovely and can be served in your room or in the restaurant which has an amazing view. We were in the cave suite which easily accommodated our family of two adults two kids. Just remember - sofa bed, is literally sheets on a sofa. Only disapointment is that with this room - you don't get a view from your room or a plunge pool - so just check which room when looking at the photos!

This apartment was in a very convenient location in Heraklion. It was quiet, there was a small kitchenette to use. Was comfortably able to accommodate our two children (one on the sofa and the other on a trundle bed type arrangement). The main bedroom was upstairs with a balcony and small view. The staff were so lovely! You can also order take out from a nearby restaurant that delivers to the room. No meals included in the stay, but this isnt a problem as it is so close to everything.

The location and uniqueness of this accomodation is amazing! We loved staying here. The breakfast provided was incredible and the beauty on the deck, amazing! So close to walk to the many restaurants and harbor. Only negative was the air conditioning being quite loud. Good set up for our family.

This cruise was definately worth doing. All members of our family enjoyed. Lovely views, ability to swim and snorkel and great lunch provided. Guides also provide some local information of sites seen. Can be quite a long trip - travelling in July means that sunset isnt until 9pm - but you stay out on the water until you have seen the sunset which is amazing.

We had a lovely guide Sakis, who was able to accommodate our requests for the itinerary - we had independently booked tickets to the cultural symposium in Megalochori which we were able to attend first as part of the time. We had been to Oia and Pyrgos the day previously so we adjusted the itinerary. He took us to see the windmills with our extra time. Worth going to Akrotiri also. Lunch was not included in this day trip.

Our tour at Knossos Palace was great and was with a very knowledgeable guide. She was able to provide us with all the details of the palace. It was quite a quick trip to the palace and might have been good to have a little longer but because we had the pick up/drop off included time was limited. Having said that, having this arranged certainly made life easier as it looked a little crazy for those trying to arrange transport themselves.

This trip was a real let down and we would not recommend. We knew that Zeus cave was closed (undergoing repair) when we booked, but decided to go with this day trip to see more of Crete. I suspect the whole thing was a little dodgy - we didnt get a tour guide, we had a man who was very nice, but admitted he had never been to some of the places before and just followed the points in the itinerary. He was not able to tell us about anywhere we went. Definately dont need to go and see the village that was under the dam - it does NOT match the description provided..

Our family loved this day trip! our guide was Vasili, he was very knowledgeable, great with the kids, took us to great spots for photos and was very friendly. Lunch was amazing. Good to experience having your own deck chairs/umbrella already arranged as part of the tour. Highly recommend.
