Athens Cypria Hotel
Athens

It was fine and met our needs. The breakfast was adequate and there was an ample size dining room. The room was a “acropolis view” yes if you angled yourself just right on the small balcony you could see the Acropolis. The rooftop bar was very pleasant with a lovely view.

My dear Jennie,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am delighted to hear that you had a memorable trip and that everything went smoothly with the itinerary we crafted together.
I also truly appreciate your constructive feedback regarding your hotel in Athens — I will certainly take it into consideration for future travelers.
It was a great pleasure working with you, and I hope we have the chance to plan another wonderful journey together — perhaps to another corner of Greece or Italy again next time!
Wishing you all the best and many safe and inspiring travels ahead!

The cooking class class gave us a look inside a traditonal greek home and the how the value their culture and history. The bike tour in Santorini brought us to places in the southern part of the island that we probably would not have seen on our own. Lea was also great to work with from the kimkim team. Her communication before and on the trip made everything go soothly. We hope to get back to Greece to see other parts of this beautiful country.

Avra Hotel served its purpose for a quick overnight stay in Athens. Although it was a bit farther from the airport than expected, it was clean and functional.

The people at this hotel were some of the friendliest people I have ever met. The service is top notch. Having breakfast brought to your each day was such a nice way to start the day. I highly recommend staying at Absolute Bliss. The name definitely reflects the environment of the hotel.

I'm so glad I discovered KimKim. Visiting Greece for our first time, I wanted a customized plan. We didn't want to join a group, packaged tour. I also didn't want to do all the work involved with researching and vetting all of our options (been there, done that, for many prior trips...I'm over it!). KimKim's system of trip planning was exactly what we wanted.

Maybe we got lucky, but our travel specialist - Siena - was top-notch. She is very knowledgable about traveling in Greece. Siena totally understood all of our issues for the trip - our desires and our concerns. She responded to every one of our questions and comments right away. We spent a lot of time going back and forth getting our itinerary exactly to our liking. All of the trip planning steps worked smoothly.

Lea, another KimKim employee, was involved in securing our reservations and she too was excellent - well informed and very responsive.

Almost everything during our entire trip - 12 days - worked like clockwork. The few things that did not were out of the control of KimKim. Our many private drivers, hotel, flight, ferry, and tour bookings all worked out well.

We spent a few days in Athens and then visited Crete (staying in Chania), Milos and Sifnos. We enjoyed EVERY location. The hotels that were booked for us were all good and in very convenient locations.

I would definitely use KimKim again!

Avra Hotel
Rafina, Attica

Good location if you're needing a place in proximity of the Athens airport. It's a big place (compared with boutique hotels) and located on the waterfront at the Port of Rafina (with ferry boats). Nothing else was particularly noteworthy about the hotel or the room (very small, as usual in Europe). Front desk staff very business-like. Breakfast (included), quite ample. Hotel restaurant quite decent, with view over the port/harbor and optional outdoor seating.

Gorgeous newer hotel on a hill above the town of Apollonia. The rooms (with private balconies/patios) were spacious (by European standards), super clean and modern, tastefully decorated. Just a 10-minute walk (downhill) into town. Breakfast (included) was delicious. Hotel restaurant (open for lunch and dinner) was also delicious. Staff very, very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place.

Elia Zampeliou Hotel
Chania

The location can't be beat. Backs up to the waterfront and entrance is on a pedestrian-only street in the heart of the Old City. We walked out the front door to into the center of action! You can walk to everything from this hotel - easy peasy. We had a harbor-view room - WOW! The sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous. The room itself - very small by US standards (but common for Europe) - was fine. Our only complaints were gigantic decorative pillows that took up WAY too much space in a small room, the steps up to the bathroom, and a loud, automatic bathroom fan that we could not control or turn off. Be aware that this hotel is part of a large group of boutique hotels all owned/managed by a larger company. As such, our breakfasts (very delicious and ample) were a block away in one of the other hotels. Also the staff in the "lobby" (tiny reception area) work at many different locations so they aren't always totally familiar with all the details of the Elia Zampeliou. Also, one staff person had a bit of an "attitude." She was at the front desk many times during our stay and was never friendly to us. She seemed quite bothered by anything we asked. We tried to avoid her when possible. Guess people like that are everywhere.

The location is superb, if you want to be in the thick of things (which we did!). We were just a few blocks from Monastiraki Square...one of "the" places to be in Athens. We walked everywhere from our hotel, including to the Acropolis. The staff at the hotel were very nice and helpful. The rooms were great (small by US standards, but par for the course in Europe) - modern and well equipped. The hotel's 2nd floor lobby and breakfast room was roomy and nice and the breakfasts (included) were DELICIOUS and ample. They have a lovely rooftop bar. The only complaint we had was that getting around the hotel is a bit of a maze. There are many different wings and half floors. Finding our rooms was a bit of a challenge (it took a few tries to finally get the hang of it!). Just be aware that if you're not completely sober you might "get lost" in the hotel!

Again, practically, we did not have enough time to utilize the many great suggested hikes for this day. We had to catch a late afternoon ferry to Athens. Also, it was raining quite hard until noon so our options were very limited. The day before, however, two of us ventured out to Faro Beach (by bus from Apollonia) and then hiked to Platis Gialos Beach - a lovely, scenic stretch of foot path on the island's southeast side.

Sifnos

Practically, we weren't able to see everything recommended for this, in actuality, half-day. So we had to be selective. We decided not to "beach it" and ended up hiking to Kastro. It was a lovely walk (maybe 2.5 miles?), largely downhill, often on old (VERY old) stone paths. We learned that the many, many ancient stone paths on the island are popular hiking routes for many visitors. They are supposedly well-marked, but many times we found ourselves very confused at road and path junctions. We later discovered that some of the trails are well marked (with red and white painted blazes) and others not so much! Kastro is a lovely, very historic village perched on a hill above the sea. It's totally charming and walking the narrow streets through the little community was fun. The views from the seaside edge of the village were stunning. We did not walk all the way down to the Church of the Seven Martyrs (perched on a little jetty out in the sea) because we heard it was closed. We were able to bum a ride back to Apollonia in a Greek tour bus that had vacant seats! We also explored the village of Apollonia, walking the entire Steno (shopping/restaurant district) and through town.

Sifnos

We'd have preferred to do this tour during the daytime slot but apparently it wasn't possibly with our schedule...so we began at 6 PM. We had the same guide for this tour as we'd had the night before, for Taste of Sifnos, Ronia (sp.). Therefore it felt very comfortable and familiar from the start. Because we'd already been in Sifnos for 2 full days, we'd already visited a few of the destinations planned for this tour (e.g. Kastro, Artemonas, Platis Gialos beach). Our guide tried to make adjustments to accommodate our recent experiences (for instance, we did not visit Kastro again). Also, because the tour was in the evening, a few things that were listed as part of the Hidden Gems tour were not possible because they were closed in the evening (such as the Profits Ilias church/museum, museum in Kastro...). We did, however, visit the Monastery of Panagia Chrysopigi which was very cool (though 2 of us had already visited it earlier in the day) and also, just after sundown, drove the very steep, windy road up to the Ageos Symeon church (on top of the highest hill above the port town of Kamares). The views were spectacular at night, but bathrooms and most everything else was locked up. The very first thing we did on our tour was visit one of the island's 14 currently operating pottery workshops. We did this because we requested it! It was a wonderful experience. The potter/landowner we met was a super cool dude - very talented, hospitable, friendly, funny and owns a lovely, scenic piece of property with lots of artsy things adorning his surroundings. Our guide, Ronia, gave us a nice tour of the pottery workshop, explaining the process and the significance of pottery in Sifnos' history.

It was fun to meet some of the proprietors of little places we visited. Our guide, Ronia (sp?) was very knowledgable and affable. She pointed out lots of historical and cultural things in addition to food stuff. The little treats we were given to take home were cute and tasty...these included a cookie from a bakery (that we were instructed to eat right away...wish we hadn't because it ruined our appetites for the food to come later), a nougat-type taffy with nuts inside of a wafer, a little ceramic cup, etc. We had "hors d'oeurves" at a little bar on the street in Apollonia. Our guide brought different Greek "pies" for us to try - spinach, mushroom, cheese and meat. We were also given complimentary beverages of our choice. After this we totally weren't hungry and then we were taken for DINNER - yikes! Dinner was at a little place in Apollonia - nothing fancy but the food was very good and it was a total shame we barely put a dent in it because we were so full. It was also a shame that people were smoking near our table and it was difficult to enjoy the food (one person in our party had to leave the restaurant due to lung issues).

Milos

Best laid plans... We didn't know about the meltemi winds in the Cycladic islands. Lucky us, we hit a 2-day stretch of very strong north winds the day of our all-day sailing trip around Milos. Our boat tour company had to change our departure location as well as the route of our trip. Our group of 14 was driven to the south of the island (a 30-minute drive) where - 4 at a time - we were put on a tiny inflated raft with a motor and ferried out to the sailboat. It took about an hour to get going after we first met that morning. Then, instead of going around the island, we simply sailed the south shore, going east to west, with Kleftiko Beach as our turn around point. It was INTENSELY windy and it was difficult to stand on the deck of the boat most of the time while the boat was moving. Nonetheless, it was quite beautiful. We stopped at some very scenic locations, and with a bit of sheltering from the wind, we were able to swim and snorkle a bit. The water clarity and color were magical. We were fed a rather incredibly tasty and filling lunch aboard the boat by the very nice and competent crew. Lots of cold drinks, beer and wine, and fruit. Kleftiko Beach was stunning.

We didn't really follow the self-guided hiking suggestions provided to us.

Instead we opted to explore Pollonia - the waterfront in town, and the hike out to the lighthouse and church on a peninsula...which was plenty lovely. Feral cats were EVERYWHERE and we enjoyed them very much.

Our driver was competent and friendly. Our guide for our hike was a young, fun guy who had hiked the Imbros Gorge dozens and dozens of times. He was kind, knowledgable and helped a member of our group who wasn't confident on big or slippery rocks. The Gorge is very pretty and the goats were fun to see (and hear...their bells!). There are some very interesting plants in the Gorge (if you're inclined to notice such things). It's highly "civilized," compared with wilderness trails in the US: there are trash cans, and a snack/beverage stand (with bathrooms) mid-way. There was a bit of extra walking at the end before meeting our driver. It seemed we didn't have all that much time for the promised lunch and possible swim in the Liberian Sea after the hike. Our driver dropped us at a restaurant and we only had an hour before he said we needed to return to the van. So our lunch was a bit rushed (though the view over the sea was lovely) and there was no time to take a dip in the water (and we had brought our swim suits and towels with us).

The White Mountains are gorgeous and just the drive alone was worthwhile. Vas (Vasilly or Vassilius?) was our guide and driver again (he was also our guide and driver for Balos Lagoon and Falassarna Beach the day before). Once again, he expertly guided us through the day, telling us all sorts of relevant and interesting things about olive growing and oil making, agriculture in Crete, wine making, etc. Visiting the olive orchard with the one of the world's oldest olive trees was very cool. Vas took us around the facility a little bit and showed us the owner's private fruit orchard and farm animals. He also gave us a tour of some of the old, traditional equipment used in making olive oil. The wine and olive oil tasting destination was next and a lot of fun. The tasting room was very chic and the servers were extremely knowledgable and friendly. The samples of food and oil and wine were AMPLE! Next we drove to the entrance of the Samaria Gorge and the scenery became dramatic and awesome. We were given lunch at the restaurant above the Gorge entrance, on a ridiculously scenic balcony. The lunch was one of the best meals we had in Greece. Vas arranged the menu and served us the food. It was MEMORABLE!!!

Our driver was THE BEST. Vas (Vasilly or Vasillius?) was the coolest dude ever. He mastered the skill of telling us lots of interesting things without telling us too much. He knew how to read his audience. He also knew when to stop talking and when to give our group of 4 time to ourselves. Vas expertly drove a very scary road out to and back from Balos Lagoon overlook. We saw hundreds and hundreds of goats - all over the roadsides and hillsides, which was great fun. Vas pointed out the sea onion plant that was just beginning to bloom all over the mountains above the lagoon. The view to the lagoon itself was AWESOME. The word gorgeous doesn't do it justice. A sight to behold. Pretty windy on the ledges, though. Falassarna Beach was possibly the most user friendly beach I've ever experienced: water at a perfect temperature, as clear as sea water can possibly be, no rocks, no seaweed, no seashells, soft sand. Wow. Vas took us to our reserved lounge chairs and left us alone for a couple of hours. We later met him at the beachside restaurant where he arranged a huge, delicious lunch for us (kindly accommodating my pescetarian diet). It was a FABULOUS day.

Old Town/City Chania is charming beyond measure. The Venetian waterfront/harbor is gorgeous (the water is crystal clear) and one restaurant after the other is quite a sight. The shops in Old Town are endless - the leather goods, clothing, art, on and on. And the gelato and ice cream and frozen yogurt - OMG. Cretan history is fascinating and OLD. The many occupiers/conquerers over the millenia is fascinating and evident everywhere....some of the earliest known civilizations in the western hemisphere were in Crete...the Minoans. Ruins are easy to spot. The Jewish history of Chania is also fascinating and the Etz Hayyim synagogue was well worth the visit.

Private Delphi Day Trip
Private Delphi Day Trip
Athens

Our driver was great - super knowledgable and willing to tell us everything he knew. He went off-script, per our questions, and made a special stop at a WWII related memorial for Greek partisans who were ruthlessly murdered by the German occupiers. At Delphi itself, we had a guide that was very knowledgable and spoke good English but his accent was super strong and, consequently, we lost maybe 1/3 of what he was saying...which was unfortunate. The many tour groups visiting the site (particularly the museum) at the same time made for some logistical crunches and squeezes. All to be expected at a world renowned tourist destination. We were taken to a restaurant for lunch in the "modern" town of Delphi that was exquisite. The food was fabulous and the view from the outdoor patio....WOW!!! Down to the Sea of Corinth and overlooking one of Europe's larges olive orchards.

Athens

One can't visit Athens without seeing the Acropolis, for good reason. It's absolutely worth braving the crowds and doing the walking and stair climbing. We had a good, supremely knowledgable tour guide (Theo) who spoke excellent English. This greatly enhanced our experience. Good luck navigating through all the tour groups and crowds - a necessary circumstance when visiting this inimitable site.

Heliotopos Hotel

Our stay at Heliotopos Hotel was absolutely amazing! Perched high on the mountain, it offers spectacular views and unforgettable sunsets … truly postcard perfect. The location was ideal, peaceful yet close enough to enjoy everything Santorini has to offer. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff attentive, and the setting simply magical. Watching the sunset from our terrace each evening was an experience we’ll never forget. Heliotopos is a place that captures the beauty and spirit of Santorini ! 💙

The Santorini sunset cruise seemed to emphasize a lot of drinking - not our style really - and we would have preferred something quieter. The cruises both advertised that we would have beach time, but we were only offered swimming around 300 feet away from a beach. The cruise in Mykonos had wonderful food, but the Santorini cruise had mediocre food and drink.
The hotel in Santorini (Ducato) had dangerously dim lighting and unmarked interior steps. We shared a patio with the workers, and they left trash bags and smoked until we asked the front desk to ask them to stop. The view was gorgeous, though!
The first hotel in Athens was delightful, the second (Achilleus) was adequate. In Mykonos, the pool was really nice.
Food walk in Athens was great (it was just the two of us and the guide) and the Crete village tour likewise. Hotel breakfasts ranged from good to wonderful.

Hotel Reviews
Ducato di Oia Boutique Hotel
Santorini

The Ducato di Oia Boutique Hotel in Santorini had some beautiful aspects, like the lovely patio and the plunge pool, which provided great relaxation. However, the room had some dangerous steps that were not well-marked, making it hard to navigate. We also had an unpleasant experience due to cigarette smoke seeping into our room from the staff break room nearby and garbage bags stacked right outside our door, which was odd. Despite these issues, the location was undeniably beautiful.

Sweet Home Hotel
Athens

Sweet Home Hotel in Athens was my favorite accommodation during the trip. It had so much charm, and the people there were incredibly welcoming. The room offered a marvelous view of the Acropolis, which was spectacular. The only downside was that it was a bit on the small side, but overall, the experience was delightful with a great neighborhood to explore.

This hotel was absolutely gorgeous. The staff were friendly and the room was beautiful and clean. It is located in Imerovigli and there is about a 15-20 minute taxi ride to Oeia (where all the shops and most of the restaurants are). Taxi/transfers can be expensive to Oeia. There were a few restaurants around this hotel in addition to the one attached to the hotel. The food was great at their restaurant. The view is stunning and while there isn't a direct view of the sunset over the water, you do see the beautiful colours of the sky over the Caldera which is breathtaking.

Dear Pam and Stan,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. I truly appreciate your detailed comments and the opportunity to learn from your experience, especially as I know how thoughtful and attentive you are.
I’m sorry about the issue you faced with the car and the gasoline, it must have been stressful. From my experience both as a driver in Greece and as a travel advisor organizing many self-drive trips, this appears to have been an isolated and unfortunate case of poor-quality fuel, rather than something common or predictable.
As for the car itself, had I or our 24/7 Traveler Care team been informed at the time, we would have immediately contacted the rental company to request a replacement vehicle and assist you on the spot.
In any case, I completely understand how unsettling this must have felt and hope it didn’t take away from your overall enjoyment of Greece. Thank you again for your feedback and for trusting me with your trip.

This trip to Crete was exceptional and exceeded all my expectations. I’m really hard pressed to come up with a “favorite part”. But if I have to, I would say it was all the wonderful Greek people we met and made personal connections with. Of course because of my keen interest in ancient history and archaeology, exploring Knossos and other historical sites, Minoan and otherwise, was particularly thrilling for me. And don’t get me started on the incredibly delicious food! Oh and the impossibly gin clear, turquoise, azure beckoning sea! We also enjoyed exploring the mountainous regions of Crete, little villages, hiking, and experiencing the warm, welcoming and incredibly hospitable Cretan people and their culture.
Siena was an incredible help in putting together this dream trip. Every driver, guides, experiences, and accommodations were wonderful. This trip of 3 weeks was seamless. We are truly looking forward to returning to Greece and will seek out and explore new adventures through the help and guidance of Siena and KimKim Travel. I highly recommend them with no reservations! (No pun intended!)

Hotel Review
Pnoe Breathing Life
Heraklion

What a beautiful resort! And what a posh, elegant, spacious and comfortable suite! We loved every minute we were there. The only drawback was that the beach was closed due to some government regulations. However, with our own en-suite private pool we were golden. For some, the proximity to the Heraklion airport may not be ideal. But for us, it wasn’t a deal breaker. The atmosphere is exceedingly calm, relaxing, modern, comfortable and elegant. Breakfast is phenomenal with more delicious foods than one could possibly imagine (or eat in one sitting). The restaurant offering Cretan dishes is beautiful, romantic and delicious. We ate there every night which is highly unusual for us but it was that good. I had a massage at the spa and that was a 5 star experience. I didn’t want it to end! We would definitely stay at this hotel again and highly recommend it!

Working with Sienna and Lea to plan our trip was just the beginning of our fun adventure in Greece. All of the activities they coordinated with the local vendors were stupendous. The lodging was quite nice in every place we stayed. I especially liked staying in the inn overlooking the water in charming, old town Chania. Our guides Vas in Chania and Ronia in Sifnos made for the most meaningful experiences. They were both very informative about the history, culture, traditions and local sites.

Starting our trip in the the bustling city of Athens was perfect. We of course enjoyed the historic sites and the evening night life of the city. The day trip to Delphi and lunch overlooking the huge olive grove were worth the drive. It was nice to slow the pace in Chania. Though busy, it was less hectic and made experiencing Crete very relaxing and pleasant. Our visit to Milos was too short as we spent half a day flying back to Athens from Crete to connect with a flight to Milos. The only activity we were able to experience was the sailboat trip. Despite the rough water due to high winds, Captain Black and George assured us of a memorable ride around the south side of the island. My favorite place to visit was Sifnos. I especially loved the visiting the quaint villiages and beach areas and only wished we had more time to hike the many trails.

The clear, blue waters of Greece are too beautiful to describe and capture in photographs. The food is outrageously delicious (and I am not even a foodie). Most every local person was so friendly and helpful.

We are glad that we chose to travel in September as it was less crowded than the high summer peak season. Except for one rainy day, the weather was perfect; not too hot.
