Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

This is a super cute hotel with amazing staff. The hotel was clean and comfortable. It was very easy to walk around and find things around the hotel to see and do.

Beautiful hotel. Great breakfast. Lovely outdoor area for relaxing. Good location (if you want/need to be in Rethmynon)

Very nice and comfortable hotel. Central location easily accessible to toursit sites and restaurants in downtown Athens. We were only there overnight.

Excellent location, very comfortable, nice staff.

Location is nice--across the street from the beach but the hotel itself has no beach of their own. We had to pay a vendor to go to the beach. We had a 1/2 board plan and while the food was good, we would have preferred not to eat at the hotel every meal. The town /beach is very touristy and crowded. Our room was very nice but the hotel is a couple of attached buildings with a strange floor plan and no elevator to the level on which we were staying. The staff in the dining room and front desk were nice but we did not like the manager whose primary concern was the rating we would provide at the end of the trip.

Consolato is a couple of rooms in a 3 story building in downtown Chania. The location is excellent, the room is very comfortable and the manager is lovely. She was accommodating in every way. Our major complaint is that we were on the top floor and there was no elevator. Breakfast was excellent, but was provided at a restaurant about 3 blocks from the hotel.

Very nice and comfortable hotel literally across the street from the airport. Very convenient for an early morning flight.

Excellent tour; guide was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. We learned a lot about the Acropolis.

Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable. Provided a lot of information and answered many questions. Highly recommend

Very interesting tour of some mountainous villages outside Rethmynon. We saw some very ancient sites and learned about life in these small villages. Would highly recommend.

Very interesting tour to some beautiful areas outside of Chania. We learned a lot about the crafts , traditions in these local villages. Would highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Tsikeli Hotel. It is beautifully and very conveniently located in Kastraki Village with views of the Meteora monoliths. We could walk to many places from there. The room was modern and comfortable. We enjoyed the restaurant as well. All the meals there were delicious, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic guide! She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing her expertise. We learned a lot, and loved the experience.

Due to heavy rains the day before, we had to make changes to the hike as described. However our guide Hilda was amazing, and we hiked through the nearby town of Chrisso, and through an enormous olive grove, one of the largest in Greece. The hike was not only beautiful but really interesting, as Hilda knew the area so well and shared much about the importance and use of olive trees in Greece. Loved it.

This was probably our favorite guided tour. Our hiking guide, Chris, was particularly great. He paced the hike to our abilities and still took us to amazing places around and on top of the monoliths of Meteora. We had toured most of the monasteries on our own (amazing also) but felt we really connected with the magic of this place on the hike with Chris, away from the other tourists, up close and personal with the landscape in a unique way. Chris knew everything about the flora, fauna and geology there and shared so much with us. Truly a notable day.

I would suggest not booking with Veneziano Boutique Hotel in Heraklion. It was not an adequate hotel even for the two nights we were there. The smallest bathroom with no door to the shower leaves water everywhere when showering. There is no staff there after 3 or 4pm, so hopefully you don’t need any assistance.

This was a lovely hotel. They gave us a honeymoon dinner and had champagne and a charcuterie board in our room. It was a wonderful experience. The staff was accommodating and the location was good.

We had the honeymoon suite here. It was fantastic with roses and petals decorating our room along with champagne and cake. It was a wonderful experience.

This hotel was also nice with a good location and friendly staff.

This was a fantastic experience. The guides were top-notch and we felt taken care of. It was a well-done activity and didn't feel like a tourist trap.

This could have been a really great experience. However, the host was not informed of our dietary restrictions. My husband is allergic to dairy and I do not eat seafood so the host had to change the recipe for us.

super modern- very clean- food was great and amazing customer service.. only downgrade is the beds are so hard

such a great place. total mom and pop hotel. food was AMAZING AND authentic- beds are hard and showers are very small

perfect room and location- beds are hard

Naxos was our favourite Island on this trip The Liana Beach Hotel was a perfect location for rest and relaxation. Right on the beach, which was ideal for swimming. The hotel staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Our room was immaculate and very spacious compared to other venues in Greece. Rooms modern, with digital setups & Wifi, Pool & Spa areas modern and clean Will definately stay again when in Naxos

Beautiful location,Professional and hard working staff...the only feedback would be to have some different breakfast options as daily having same breakfast is monotonous since we stayed there for 4 days.

In love with this place. Beautiful location..peaceful..They went extra mile by providing complimentary cake for my birthday as requested by my friend along with complimentary spa services from their end..which totally impressed us.

If you need tranquility visit this place ..The interior of this hotel are amazing...so unique. Their breakfast spread is awesome. The pool is location is my favourite.

I would like to rate 5 for the staff here. This place is centrally located to the downtown. Rooms are tiny which is a bit inconvenience however they but very clean.. There breakfast spread was awesome.

Could have been more informatic regarding the culture around.

We had two different port visit which was not done..we were picked and dropped at same port.. For vegetarian there were no much options to eat.

The guide was very informatic courteous. As per the itinerary we have 3 to 4 beaches but we were taken to only 1 beach which was lil disappointing..however due to the good attitude of the guide I am rating 5 star for this tour.

Tour guide could have been more proactive in providing information regarding the place.

This was one of the best walking tours we have ever done. Gus was so much fun, had tons of really interesting history about the island and culture, and showed us amazing food throughout. If you are going to Santorini, this tour is an absolute must.

The staff were very good but the tubs were very dangerous to shower in as they had a very narrow flat to stand..

Shower next to bed is weird.

Spectacular The only negative would be finish on the steps and shower floor in the downstairs shower area is very slippery when wet. My wife actually slipped and fell and thankfully was not injured. It is a vey unique feature but they should think putting non slip coating or tile in the steps and shower floor.

New and has an upscale appearance. Water views while dining are fabulous.

It had mold in the shower and was hard to get to via Google Maps. Also its a little loud. You could hear dogs barking, motorcycles, etc. It did have a really nice courtyard and they brought us breakfast and coffee. in the morning which was a nice touch.

Trendy hotel was wonderful. Our room was facing the street so was quite noisy at night from the bars below , but the room and balcony were lovely The breakfast was great ., we enjoyed the roof top bar also for evening drinks . But best of all was the staff, they were beyond friendly and helpful .

Excellent staff and accommodations. Location was great if you like to be a bit away from the crowds - possible just the time we were there but it felt like a windier part of the island, but that didn't detract us from the enjoyment. The view was amazing - perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunset in your space while others crowd for best views in other parts of the island. Hotel was in great condition.

The hotel was clearly not finished in construction - it had the needful - but left some things to be desired. If this was a year from now, I bet I'd give it a 4+ star.

Clean and comfortable - large room.

Wonderful experience all around - just what you want - amazing how the vantage point from the sea feels strikingly different despite having been on the high caldera rim for 2 days prior. A must do thing once you have explored the island on foot.

At the top of our favorite list - the ambiance was wonderful, the cooking class was extremely fun to get such an interaction and the very good wine was flowing heavy with a tremendous amount of good food to eat at the end. For obvious practical reasons (we are drinking a lot of wine), the level of cooking that we did was pretty simplistic. But, that left me able to watch and talk to be engaged and learn without having to focus on my hands. Description needs updated a bit - no cellar tour, and the menu was slightly different but still delicious.

The most authentic thing we could have done - it was like going to a distant relative's house to have a nice meal and conversation with cooking class included. The guide and host were outstanding - even with a language barrier to the host we could tell they genuinely enjoyed being able to give us such an experience. Only downside was the description again - we didn't get to do to an olive oil factory tour which we had really looked forward to. The things we did were amazing though.

Great information and good guide - but just took too long of our limited time.

Awesome individual experience - local guide who was knowledgeable and personable - it felt like we were making a friend. Very authentic way to learn about the city and food scene. If I was to do one activity in Athens, it would be this. The rest you can see self-guided easily enough, but the food in Greece is so good that this is just an awesome way to experience it.

We spent most of our trip at this hotel. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was homemade and didn’t disappoint. Naxos was by far our favorite city.

Vicky was very knowledgeable and a great tour guided of the Acropolis.

Great food on the boat and a great crew

A beautiful hotel with friendly staff. The building is over 500 years old which makes it even more amazing and beautiful. This hotel has an amazing location and views. Located in the port and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the beach. They also have a restaurant and bar with a complimentary breakfast. We had a balcony where we could sit and relax with a view of the lighthouse. It was amazing!

Stayed here one night just to sleep. The hotel was beautiful, modern, and clean. Oddly located on a side street that gets busy but we didn't stay in the hotel except to sleep and it was conveniently located to tons of shops and restaurants. Beautiful area to walk about and sightsee.

This hotel and the location are breathtaking! The views from the hotel were beautiful! The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with so many options. So many walking trails and things to do in the area.

Beautiful hotel and centrally located to many restaurants and beaches. I was impressed with the size of our room and the amenities. The hotel was beautiful.

I am not a city person and this hotel is located within the city. That being said if you stay in Athens then you need to stay at this hotel! They have a restaurant on their rooftop with the perfect view of the Acropolis. Extremely beautiful! Plus the food was delicious. The rooms were cleaned and maintained, and they had a jacuzzi bathtub. Being in the city it was quiet at night within our room.

It was so nice to tour Chania Old Town with a local who does tours. It was great to hear the history and be taken to historical locations. The food and wine tasting at the end was a nice way to try local food and dishes. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

The tour was very informative and insightful. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and you could feel her passion. Learned so much and we we enjoyed the beauty and knowledge we gained.

We enjoyed this tour and we were able to choose the locations we wanted to see. The best part was talking with the tour guide and learning about the culture. All the locations were beautiful. We visited a monastery, and winery, and walked through a local town. Very beautiful and informative experience.

If you visit Santorini this is a must-do! We had so much fun! The staff on the boat were all amazing, kind, and fun! It was a small group of people so we all chatted, got to know each other, and enjoyed the beautiful cruise. We swam in the ocean, saw the beautiful beaches, swam in the hot springs, had a delicious meal, and watched the sunset. They also showed us many historical sights. This cruise was one of my favorite excursions on our vacation.

I am so happy we did this walking tour otherwise my husband and I would have been walking in circles around Mykonos. The tour took us to all the spots to get beautiful photos and avoid the crowds. Learned about the history and how Mykonos became known for being a party location. The city is beautiful with all the shops and painted walkways and homes.

So glad we did this tour because there is so much you can miss out on with the history of the Acropolis. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate and taught us so much. The Acropolis is absolutely beautiful and a must-visit. We are happy we had a tour of the museum as well because there is such an extensive amount of history to learn.

We were happy we had a free day in Chania so we could explore the city and recover from a long day of travel. The city is beautiful and lovely to spend time walking around and exploring. There is so much to see. You could sit for hours just watching the water. Beautiful city and our favorite location we visited in Greece.

Perfect location for the Acropolis and downtown Athens. Staff was amazing.. in particular, Aphrodite.

Right next to the beach.. amenities and views were superior. Staff was amazing!! So attentive and had the pool to ourselves most days and drinks from the bar while we enjoyed it.

Of the five hotels we stayed at in Greece this topped them all. The city of Chania is a gem! Wished we’d had a few more days here :-)

What can you say! The views were superior. Best place on Santorini to watch the sunset!

A gem in the middle of an authentic Cretan village. Only a handful of rooms.. each beautiful, clean and very well maintained.

Alex was amazing! Would encourage anyone going to the Acropolis to ask for him. Cannot compare to the large group tours we observed there. He was our personal guide and knew more about U.S. history than us!! Amazing young man and person.

George is a gem! After 5 hours together we were ready to adopt him as an honorary son! He took us on a hiking tour of multiple villages and was so informative and interesting.. so appreciated

Katerina and her mother Maria were fantastic. Special time learning various Greek dishes.. look forward to replicating with family! Her house was so inviting.

The location of this hotel was perfect. We were right downtown and could walk to all the main attractions. The breakfast spread was amazing, especially the bread.

The location and view of this hotel were exceptional! While the breakfast was slightly lacking compared to our other accommodations, the overall experience was not hindered!

This hotel was in a quieter location in Imerovigli, which we appreciated. We enjoyed the sunset from here more than in Oia. The breakfast was delivered to our room, which was a nice touch. However, the location is not as convenient for shops and restaurants if other travelers are looking for that.

Unfortunately, this activity was canceled due to high winds. Initially, I was disappointed, but our specialist had warned us about this possibility and we had a backup plan. We ended up exploring Naxos, which was still an amazing experience.

This was a highlight of the trip for me. We cooked with a local couple in their home, which was a wonderful, authentic experience. We made delicious food using ingredients from their garden. The couple didn't speak English but our guide did a great job translating for us.

This was a good experience, although it felt a bit rushed. The winery was beautiful and we tasted three different wines. We also had a quick tour of the facility. I wish we could have stayed a bit longer to really enjoy the setting.

The hike was beautiful with stunning views. Our guide was great, but as my husband and I have experienced hikers, we could have done it without a guide. However, the guide did provide some interesting information about the island.

This was an amazing experience. The catamaran wasn't overly crowded, so we had plenty of space. We made multiple stops and had a full meal prepared on the grill, and the sunset was absolutely stunning.

Rarely have I found a person with such a passion for what they do. Leonidas loves the flavors and ingredients of Greece and by the end of this masterclass, so did I. What took the experience to the next level was the amazing view of the mountains and sea you have while tasting some of Greece’s most unique flavors.

This restaurant has some of the freshest and most unique seafood I’ve ever had. The owner clearly loves sharing each morning’s catch with his guests. On top of that, the view of the small island with the church of St Nicolas is charming. The owner even took me to the island in his fishing boat which was way beyond what I’d expected and was a highlight of the trip.

The hotel is very charming and the staff were absolutely wonderful! Incredible breakfast, healthy options and delicious homemade pastries. The only thing lacking was storage space for our clothes. There was a rod with some hangers and one small drawer, but for two adults traveling for two weeks in Greece, we would have liked more storage.

A quiet and beautiful escape, away from the hustle and bustle of Naxos town, and steps away from Plaka beach, which was also quiet and peaceful. So easy to get to town with the local bus or a cab if you prefer. Absolutely incredible breakfast each day! Naxos Island escape is clearly a labor of love for Marios, who was always available and who helped us with many logistics during our stay. Highly recommend!

Staff were extremely accommodating, warm and kind. All rooms face the ocean and have a view to Chania old town, which is only a 20 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are modern and well-equipped, incredibly comfortable bed and linens. Breakfast was excellent with different choices every day, and different varieties of fresh fruit juices.

VERY basic hotel in a fun neighborhood outside of Athens.

Wonderful tour guides, Alex (Temple of Zeus) and Maria (Acropolis)!

Loved wandering and eating amazing food wherever we went.

This review is solely based on our trip to Delphi, since sadly we were not able to visit Meteora because of the floods. We will definitely have to return - we were so looking forward to Meteora, but peoples' safety is most important! Delphi was incredible and highly recommend. We drove up there ourselves, which we loved. Seeing the incredible mountains makes you understand how the ancient Greeks believed in the Gods. It felt like they were still there. We had a wonderful tour guide, who also recommended a restaurant to eat lunch in Delphi, which was delicious! (Pictures of the mountains don't do justice.)

We had two free days in Naxos because sadly our all day sailing cruise was cancelled because of high winds. We rented a car and drove up into the mountains, which was absolutely incredible.

Beautiful island. Wonderful people. Incredible food.

So much fun. A small group tour into the white mountains of Crete. Incredibly beautiful. Wonderful tour guide (and driver) Yannis, who knows so much about Cretan history and clearly loves his home. Incredible cooking lesson using the freshest of ingredients taught by a lovely woman (whose name I sadly can't remember but she was amazing), and hosted also by her son.
