Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

This was our favorite hotel. LOVED it. Clean, roomy, management was friendly, and close to the beach and downtown.

Best and favorite activity!! 5 stars

She was our favorite guide. Friendly, funny, spoke English well, and very informative.

This was a wonderful dinner. Quite the surprise and everything was Great!

Last stop was the best. Could have eliminated the first stop. Too much wine for one afternoon.

Fun day. Not everyone went but those of us that did had a great time.

We enjoyed the entire afternoon!

Our stay at Abelonas Retreat in Santorini was good but had some issues. We had six rooms in total, and one couple ended up with a room where the bed was against two walls, making it very inconvenient. The manager wasn’t available to help right away, but your team managed to get us a new room the next morning, which was a relief. The hotel manager was kind of grumpy and not very accommodating when we asked for better views or nicer rooms for those who hadn’t had such experiences yet. This was the only place where we felt a bit let down.

Our stay at the Ippoliti Hotel in Nafplio was very nice. It was probably the fanciest hotel in terms of interior décor, and having a pool was a great touch. There was a bit of confusion as some of our group members were placed in a different building with upgraded rooms, and we almost didn’t know where they were. Despite that, those who received the nicer rooms were thrilled, and we tried to ensure everyone got a fair turn at the better accommodations.

I really enjoyed our stay at Fedriades Hotel in Delphi. The town itself was beautiful, and the hotel offered stunning views of the valley from our windows. The restaurant right across the street, recommended by the hotel manager, was great too. It had a large bank of windows with valley views and delicious food. There was a bit of an odd situation where one room was significantly larger with a sitting area, kitchen, and giant patio, so we ended up drawing straws to see who would get it. It added a bit of fun to our trip, though it was unexpected. Overall, this hotel was fantastic.

This was actually a '3 winery' tour - which was a very nice way to spend our last evening in Santorini. The meal at the last winery was wonderful.

Maybe I've been to too many wineries. This was a very nice experience, but also similar to other wine adventures I've enjoyed. The food (with wine pairings) was very good...

Our host was the owner and manager so he was a wealth of information with TONS of interesting things to share with us. The olive oil was smooth and flavorful, and (like so many of our dining experiences in Greece) the food was both wonderful and PLENTIFUL!

The restaurant was tucked up in the heart of the old market. WONDERFUL food, and super cool atmosphere. Great choice!

I wasn't really sure about spending 6 hours on a boat cruising around in the caldera - but it was a wonderful experience. Very much worth doing. Especially liked hiking on the heart of the ancient volcano.

So glad we got to go see some of the villages higher up on the island of Naxos. BEAUTIFUL places, and our guide was (again) amazing!

Good tour, nice to have the same guide twice (he was great).

It was our 2nd time there, so less 'amazing' for us and it was HOT, but our guide was great!

All I can say is that this was a highlight of our trip. We had a BLAST and the food was amazing. Who knew how time consuming it was to prepare octopus (or squid - can't remember the difference now!)!?

We have some experience with beekeeping, so listening to a master beekeeper is always a treat. She was amazing, and had some really interesting other (bee related) things to look at / taste and purchase. Baklava = honey!

Another surprise 'hidden gem' of a place. Finally learned what/who the Oracle of Delphi is and why this place was so special. The little town of Delphi is gorgeous too...

I think we agreed that this was the best tour of all - our guide was fantastic, we arrived near the end of the day, so very few other people there (and maybe a bit cooler). A must-see.

I cannot say enough about our driver for the first 6 days of our journey. George - you are amazing and your "Tetris" training came in handy as you dealt with our luggage day after day!

The Guide was amazing, and the acropolis is a 'must see' in Athens, but it was CROWDED and hot. Recommend this, but maybe not in the middle of summer.

What an amazing meal - I think there were 7 courses (most featuring some type of delicious seafood). BEAUTIFUL views too

The view from their rooftop was AMAZING - exactly as you see it here. The food (7 courses - really?!) was fabulous. GREAT start to our trip

Absolutely fantastic hotel that is kid friendly, comfortable and with all amenities. Little away from town which probably the only drawback but it’s self sufficient.

Nice little gem that is in a rock style, facing the sea and at a high point. The balcony has a jacuzzi and best sunset view. Room was convenient though AC didn’t seem powerful enough to cool the whole room. Ample space and very convenient. Staff is friendly and courteous. But if stairs to climb up and down to room but the bell boys were happy to lug the suitcases for us.

Hotel is near Matreaski square so is convenient location. Room was quite small and lobby as well. The lift is inconvenient and hard to load suitcases. Staff was very friendly and quite understanding to help with late checkin and check out. Not fancy but definitely worth for a quick stay.

Good day tour that covers visit to Dakiti, Lassithi plateau, cave where Zeus was born, ceramic pottery factory/store, Knossos palace which has been partially recreated to see the Minoan civilization.

This tour was very informative and wonderful to see the Roman Agora, Acropolis, Parthenon and more. It covers most of the Ancient monuments in Athens. Needs quite a bit of walking but the guide was very good. She was engaging, giving references to mythology.

Visit to Thermopylae was interesting. There is not much to see in terms of monuments or remains. However, the 3D simulation and the history is quite interesting. Delphi was amazing to see. Lot of the original monuments are in the archaeological site. Museum was informative as well. Lunch location was fantastic- both food and view. Peter was an engaging and knowledgeable guide!

This tour was great with multiple activities. Starting with a visit to Pyrgos village where we got to walk around and experience the classic Santorini houses and the blue dome churches. We got a glimpse of Red Beach. Wish could actually go to beach. We also got to see Akrotiri ruins however due to a strike we cdnt have a guide to explain. It’s a little harder to get a good idea without a guide. Lost Atlantis museum was informational and was enjoyed by my kid. It’s like a VR simulation.

It was fun activity to kayak with them. There were two guides so was feeling safe with my little guy. We got to see beautiful sunset and insides of a cave. There was a short snack break with fruits and lemonade. They even arranged hot tea for my son. Dinner was very delicious as well. Highly recommend this!

Our group of 13 had the place to ourselves as there are only 8 or 9 rooms. The roof top deck was a great place to hang out after a long day of travel and touring. Our host was extremely pleasant, and a talented bartender. Located very near to the main drag, so we walked to lunch, and back from dinner. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

While it was fun and interesting to see the differences between the three wineries, dinner was too long (timing - too much time between courses - and too much food), especially as we were departing early the next morning.

This was a lot of fun, though long - advertised as 6 hours, and it was 8 hours if not more. Also, as advertised as a traditional wooden boat, but the diesel fumes got old really quick.

We thought it would be more about food than culture, and it was longer than 4 hours. Though one of the dishes on this tour was my favorite in all the food I ate while in Greece for two weeks! The olive oil tasting was fun and educational, though I enjoyed the history - spoken and visible - more. The retail shopping after lunch went long - I believe there was something about the credit card machine.

Good food, walkable from the hotel, staff were kind and accommodating for our large group of 12.

Our group really enjoyed this - our hosts were so genuine, kind, and welcoming. And the food was delicious!

It was a beautiful location and building. The tour felt a bit rushed, but fun to see the things. Lunch was excellent, but entirely too much food - several dishes were never touched, and that feels very wasteful. We enjoyed the family style serving, and they easily accommodated the two who are GF. The wine was OK - it tasted very young (not aged).

What a great, relaxing lunch in the shade under the trees. Our host was very knowledgeable and personable - we really enjoyed our time with him. They served fabulous food, and easily provided plenty of GF food for the two individuals who required it.

The bee hive tomb was very cool! The rest of the ruin was "meh."

Beautiful location - rooftop terrace - great food, and got to watch the Acropolis light up as the sun went down.

What a great experience to see and tour the Acropolis with an expert. Though the place was packed with other tourists, I felt we had a much better experience rather than an audio self-guided tour. It also helped to have someone personally walk us through the entrance gates - less waiting and confusion.

The driver picked us up at the front door of the hotel, and delivered us to the bottom of the hill where we met our guide. George was great - so glad we had him for 5 days. I don't want to travel any other way again!

This tour was amazing, only because we were allowed to explore/climb/sit in the 2500 year old Amphitheater! The rest of the ruin was overshadowed by this experience. Be sure to schedule your visit for the very first thing before the rest of the tourists arrive, and ask to see the Theater first.

While the activity was somewhat interesting, the reality fell short of expectations. The time of day was also unfortunate - several in our group were fighting to stay awake. The honey was delicious, but lacked depth of flavor.

Interesting little ruin within walking distance of our hotel.

While the food was amazing, there was entirely too much of it - 7 courses, I think. The reservation was at 7 pm, and not starting to eat until 7:30 pm - that's just too late in the evening for this mid-western gal. Also, there didn't seem to be anything to do in the little town - so nothing to entertain us while we waited until 7 pm. They refused to seat us until 7 pm.

Our tour guide was amazing - she was very knowable about the site and museum, and interacted with our group extremely well. Many in our group took the opportunity to "run" in the Olympic stadium - what an unusual experience - so grateful!

Nasos is the best

The tour was fine, and our guide and driver was great. The winery stop at Art Space was mediocre. While paros gave us a good tour, the staff member at the winery was more interested in selling us art painting and wine bottles. Seemed a little too touristy. The Kitro experience in Naxos was much better and family owned.

Our stay at 18 Grapes Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The attention to detail and genuine care extended to guests, both in the rooms and throughout the property, truly stood out. Located just a short stroll from one of Naxos's most stunning beaches, the hotel offers the perfect blend of luxury and convenience. One of the highlights was the delicious made-to-order breakfasts, which were a delightful start to each day. The dedicated staff ensured our comfort with their warm hospitality and attentive service, making our stay truly memorable. Additionally, the rooftop restaurant served delicious food with breathtaking views, adding an extra touch of luxury to our evenings.

Our recent stay at El Grecco hotel left us with mixed feelings. While the lobby was charming and the receptionists were friendly and helpful, there were some notable drawbacks. Accommodation: We booked two rooms, one of which had a mildew smell, and the other had stains on the furniture. However, the clerks were responsive and tried their best to address these issues promptly. Atmosphere: The hotel tends to host large groups, which meant a bustling atmosphere with frequent tour groups checking in and out. Dining Experience: There was a wide variety of breakfast options available, though the food itself was average in quality. Location: One aspect we found inconvenient was the hotel's location. While there were some decent restaurants within walking distance, we found ourselves spending most of our time in Oia, wishing we had chosen accommodation there or closer. Overall Impression: In summary, El Grecco offers a pleasant lobby and friendly reception staff. However, the issues with room conditions and the bustling nature of the hotel, combined with its location, left us feeling that it was an average choice for our stay in Santorini.

The hotel was wonderful, and the location was superb! The roof top dining was such an amazing experience. The food was delicious, and the exquisite views of the Acropolis made it that much more special.

This excursion was undeniably one of the highlights of our trip! We enjoyed it so much, we added a sunset tour to our itinerary.

Our tour guide as wonderful! He was incredibly knowledgeable and did an excellent job of providing a comprehensive and engaging tour.

It's beautiful and walking distance to everything, including Oia and Finifika.

Lovely and small but a great location.

Beautiful hotel next to the airport but you would never know it - quiet and very comfortable!

Incredibly small room for a family and only bedding was a sheet. However the staff was nice and breakfast was good

Wonderful little boutique hotel in Paros with the best staff! Loved it!

Wow- this was incredible! Katiana (?sp) was so knowledgeable and had so much passion for her city and her country. She went above and beyond by arranging for special music from Mamma Mia for our daughter during this visit.

This was one of our favorite activities! Maria and her team were gracious cooking hosts and we learned how we can bring Greek cooking back home!

This hotel was so beautiful, with incredible customer service and a well maintained property. If you are looking for a place that truly makes you feel like you are in Greece, this is the place for you!

I was very impressed by my experience at The Classic. The hotel is in a prime location, convenient to many shops and restaurants. The rooms are clean, modern, and bright, and the staff was so kind. Check-in was fast and easy, and the staff gave us clear information about accessing our room and the services the hotel offers. We were particularly impressed by breakfast! The food was fresh and delicious. Also the staff member named Mykilah (I’m not sure of the spelling) was by far the most pleasant person I met at the hotel or in Athens. She was smiling and friendly, she spoke to us and attended to our needs at breakfast.

La Maison Blanche Mykonos is a wonderful place to stay if you want to get away from the party atmosphere and enjoy an excellent view of the island and sea. The apartment we stayed in had everything we needed to be comfortable— beach towels and bath towels, sugar, coffee, cooking oil, salt, pepper. The best parts of our stay was the huge terrace for enjoying the view and our hostess Maria, who was attentive to all of our needs from the start. I would definitely stay again.

Adequate small room. Clean. Helpful staff. Central location with view of acropolis from rooftop bar.

A lovely small hotel run by a very friendly woman who couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. It is far from the Port and in a smallish village "Polonia". About a 15 min. walk to restaurants. Small beach nearby. Cab ride (20 euros each way) for nicer beaches. ). No shopping to speak of and other sites accessed by car. The only hotel that did not include breakfast.

Near shopping and attractions. Lovely breakfast spread each morning. Pleasant staff.

This is an international hotel chain very top of the line. You can literally walk across the street to the departure gates for the airport. Very top of the line fabulous breakfast. A long way from the city. Good only for arrival and departure from airport. Expensive.

A fabulous hotel with beautiful view of the Aegean. Nice balcony overlooking the sea where we watched the sunsets. In a central location for restaurants and shopping. The best of our hotels on the trip. Very helpful staff. Lots of steps to and from room (which allowed for a great view). Very quiet despite being in a noisy location. Lovely breakfast served on our balcony.

This tour was the highlight of our whole trip. VERY knowledgeable, friendly and skilled guide - the owner, Katarina. We saw places and small villagers and even inside homes that we would never have seen otherwise. Tour included the guide taking photos of you and then giving you a video of your route along with the photos. Pretty much did the half of the island you dont' normally see by bike. Very doable. We were a group including a 14 year old, a 42 year old and a 77 year old. Katarina made it work for all of us. The bikes made the hills very manageable. Terrain was rough but she coached us how to approach it. Highly rec. this tour!!

This was an amazing tour and very worthwhile. Our guide Ian's drove us around a good portion of the island explaining history and answering our questions. We saw the place where the Venus de Milo statue was disco verde, went into some catacombs, had a chance to jump/dive off small cliffs into the ocean at an amazing beach, with fabulous white stone landscape. We had time to swim and time to lunch on our own and shop. A highlight of our trip.

We did not do this as it was very expensive and not included on our package. Roughly $359 to rent a boat plus $100 for fuel. Plus more of course if you hired a driver.

Unfortunately, we happened to do this tour on a very windy day with v very rough seas. People were getting seasick and you should know that it is not a sail. It is motoring on a catamaran - with not too many places to sit where you have back support. Boat anchored three different times for swimming - but most people did not swim as the water was so rough. Nice lunch prepared on the boat but so windy that food was literally flying off our plates. It is probably a good tour on a calm sea day.

Absolutely the most perfect location.. amazing views .. the actual rooms were dated tho. The bathroom showers didn’t stay up (needed to hold the shower head w one hand while washing hair w the other). They have very limited staff. One guy practically did everything!

Great must do!!! They take you to the most amazing locations that you would never find on your own

The staff were amazing!!! Best vacation we have ever had. Thank you for your hospitality. It was impeccable.

Everyone was amazing!!!

The ride was fun and but scary very different terrain from the normal. You should be on good shape to do it.

This was such an amazing hike. The views alone made the next-day soreness well worth the effort. I am an experienced hiker so can certainly say that this trek is very doable, but you would be best served with the proper shoes and perhaps some experience and stamina due to the terrain and weather conditions (it gets hot out of the trees!). I took this trip with ELAFONISSOS TRAVEL and was so lucky I did as I experienced a sprain to my ankle two days prior and they were able to rent me a hiking stick for added stability over the loose and slippery rocks. The guide was knowledgeable about the conditions one would experience on the hike and there was no pressure to remain with the group, but pace the hike to your ability and comfort. Along the way there were rest stops and water to fill up if needed. At the end of the hike lay a beautiful beach for a dip to cool off and multiple restaurants to eat while waiting for the ferry to take you back.

Beautiful and historic hotel with an amazing view of the Acropolis. Perfectly located to explore historic Athens. Small hotel with a great staff. The hotel felt very welcoming and the rooftop restaurant was perfect.

Spectacular view and a great staff. Beautiful clean suite. The balcony was very nice but a bit dated. Overall, and amazing location and a great choice. We would love to return

Beautiful view, clean and comfortable suite, and incredible breakfast. Cyano Suites are very close to the harbor

Tina was wonderful. She was not only extremely knowledgeable but has a real love of the history of Athens. She’s a perfect guide you through historic Athens
