Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Beautiful hotel and great location!

Great place! Loved it! Hotel staff was so friendly and accommodating. My son has severe sesame allergies and they went above and beyond to ensure he was safe with the foods served for breakfast. Great room, great location.

Beautiful million dollar view. Kostas was the best and so helpful. Gorgeous rooms and great space for a family of 5. Loved the jacuzzi and eating the amazing breakfast on our outdoor porch.

Amazing!!!!

Great guide and fun tour!!!

Not overly impressed with our guide. She was nice but her tour wasn’t very interesting. Her voice put my kids to sleep in the bus. Our driver George was amazing and helped energize the kids by including them! He seemed to know a ton of info too and was a better personality for a tour!

Great cruise for sunset. The boat crew was very nice and helpful and shared interesting facts as we sailed around to various points of interest. Dinner was great and they were attentive to those dining with food allergies. Beer and wine were offered throughout the cruise. Small enough group (19 on our boat) so everyone had room to spread out. Sunset was spectacular.

It’s right in the middle of everything! It’s clean and the rooms are great!

Booked right away don’t wait!

You can see a couple of the Monasteries from the Guesthouse a beautiful view. 10 minutes walk to the restaurants and shopping area a beautiful place to walk around. Rooms are very nice and you have your balcony. Breakfast is amazing!

It a great place it’s also a skip and a hop from the train station.

This hotel is a great spot five minutes from the beach, five minutes from shopping and restaurants

It a great place to stay the views are amazing!

Two steps from the beaches and restaurants. A great place for running , morning or evening walks. You’re going to love it!

You will love it!

The location looks great didn’t see much of it got there late. Dinner was fantastic view of the sea and pier. Wish I had gotten there early to walk around but it’s 25 minutes from the airport.

What an amazing experience I have read about it seen pictures and to be there in that moment all I could do is take it all in. And you’ll do the same.

You have to visit Delphi it’s an amazing place when you look at the treasures that was found and to know they were buried for thousands of years and you’re seeing them unbelievably!

Our tour was magnificent to see all the rocks and there formations it was incredible to see and those monasteries and steps. It was a trip of a life time.

The ferry ride was good no rocking of any kind. Stepping on Delos island was like that secret place. Looking at the Sacred Lake, lion terrace, house of Dionysos you’re trying to put your self in those days but you can’t just by you standing there was enough for me! An amazing visit.

This was one for the history books. I couldn’t believe how far up you have to climb but I did it because I wanted to see what happened all those thousands of years ago and it did not disappoint all those craters and the views are spectacular oh my word you have to see it,

Such a unique boutique hotel with character that is beyond. Great accommodating staff! Located just on edge of nightlife and dining hub and walkable to major Athens historic sights. Try for Jo as your Tour Guide!

There are mosquitoes in Athens so take advantage of offer for bug spray!

Views beyond belief! Everyone gets their own outdoor balcony (great for scrabble and glass of wine) and the rooms are lovely. Great pool area and breakfast cafe staffed by wonderful staff personalities. Wide assortment of food on buffet that can get you full until dinner. Easy transportation into Fira and Oei for shopping and dining.

Only to have room for me to stay with you on my next visit.

Great, warm staff who took care of us…especially in an emergency. Always smiling and ready to help you with anything!

Just know you will be treated as a VIP.

Our guide Jo was INCREDIBLE! so personable and knowledgeable and she felt like she was a good friend to us. You could tell she was very passionate about her job and talked about studying to be sure she was aware of the latest news and info. Really the best!

Had Will as our tour guide with another couple and he kept us laughing. Was great about pointing out unique facts of Santorini (often while singing or rhyming) and the four of us had wished he had been able to join us on wine tasting. Constantly taking pictures of us with our cameras so have great memories of the blue and white buildings and highest point of island.

Be prepared to take yourself back to the days of Abba. Natalia and Lexi were gracious hosts on the boat and Captain Yiannis made sure we saw all the red, white and black beaches plus the hot springs where we covered ourselves with mud. Cocktails were flowing and dancing on the deck while sun set was such a memory! Great food and we all bonded with one another celebrating a 25th anniversary, a couple of birthdays, and hopefully future engagements.

Room was pretty small but we barely stayed in with everything to do in the city! The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, we loved staying with them! Thank you to Aphrodite and her staff for the wonderful experience!

Hands down our favorite hotel we stayed at in all of Greece! The staff was so kind and helpful, we loved the list of recommendations we got upon check in and used most of them! The breakfast is HUGE, it felt like sitting down with my family for a big homecooked meal. And the room: GORGEOUS. I felt so luxurious!

This hotel was beautiful and we really appreciated having the pool on the hotter days. However, check in took almost an hour as it seemed like the receptionist took the time to verbally list out every single thing we could do on the island. I wouldn't have minded this as much, but we hadn't been given our room key yet and had just gotten off a very long and rough ferry ride, which we explained to them kindly, to try to move the process along. The main reason for this low review though is that on our last night in the hotel, an employee entered our locked room while we were sleeping to remind us of our airport transfer in the morning, even though we (through our travel agency) were the ones who arranged it. This was really inappropriate and honestly put us on edge the rest of the night. The hotel rooms do not have phones so I understand why they didn't call, but entering a guests room is extremely inappropriate and made us feel very unsafe.

Such a cute and funky little hotel in the heart of Athens! Loved the whole aesthetic of the hotel and our room was spacious and fun! The absolute best part though was the food!!! This hotel is also a brunch place and as hotel guests, you get 20% off their menu. We arrived a little early for check in so decided to get some food while we waited and oh my god. Instagram worthy, healthy, fresh food! And very affordable! The best part??? The breakfast that is included with your hotel is.the.same.breakfast!! So you get very high quality food to start off your day. We ended up sandwhiching our time in Athens around our trips to the islands, so we stayed at a different hotel on the way in and we talked so much about how we wish we had gotten to stay at this place longer. Absolutely loved it!

Its a bit farther from the acropolis than other places but very close to metros, great restaurants and a whole host of other Ancient sites!

Loved that this tour was focused on the myths and culture behind the Acropolis and Parthenon, rather than the architecture like all the signs were. Our kind was very friendly and knowledgeable! We ended up going to the Acropolis again on a different day to just take our time walking around but the name "Beat the Crowds" tour is no joke! Great experience!

The ride over to the Museum was beautiful! I loved seeing all the beaches and cliffs, and the electric bike made it a very smooth ride! Our Guide was also extremely nice and was very helpful for us getting started with the bikes! That being said I feel like the description of this activity was very misleading. It wasn't really a "tour" per say, more of a "follow the leader to your destination" as we didn't stop anywhere along the route to talk or take pictures of anything. The Tomato Museum was interesting and the tomato juice and paste we got to try were incredible! The activity description said we would get to "Seal our own tomato pulp" which we were so excited for such a great souvenir, especially after tasting everything! However, in reality, you sealed your own *empty* can with a tomato label, which was a bit disappointing. Finally, the activity description said on our way back from the Museum we would stop at Vlychada Beach where we would "get to quench your thirst with light refreshments at the beach bar". This is very misleading. We were able to take a few pictures of the beach from where we parked the bikes before heading into the Museum, but then pretty much packed up and left immediately on the return. There was no stopping for refreshments. We went straight back to the starting point. The frustrating part, is the route you take to the museum is FILLED with amazing looking restaurants and beach bars where my husband and I would've LOVED to stop in at, but as soon as we made it back to the starting point, our transport was there to take us back. We did not get to explore or experience any part of the beach, other than riding past it.

BEST THING WE DID IN GREECE! Our guides were amazing, so fun and knowledgeable! We went through rock formations, caves, tunnels, absolutely amazing time! They took just enough breaks both on the water and off at different sites for us to be able to keep up! An awesome surprise was that we got GoPros to take all the videos and pictures with that we wanted even underwater, I can't wait to get them back! Truly an amazing family run business as we even got 2 homemade snacks per person from the guides mother (that were AMAZING). I would absolutely do this again and recommend it to everyone I know!

LOVED seeing these beautiful cliffs and monasteries! The pictures we got look like they are straight out of National Geographic. The tour guides were so fun and incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out all of the details we could've wanted, including a fun Game of Thrones photo Point! The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was that based on the activity description, I wasn't aware the monasteries each had their own entrance fee or that most of them only took cash. There was one monastery we didn't get to go in because there were no atms at the top(and we didn't know to stop closer to the bottom), which was really disappointing because it was one of the biggest ones! We spent the time taking beautiful pictures of the surrounding areas though. The train ride is also a little rough and long but overall a beautiful trip!

Lovely place. A bit far from the action (about 2min drive from 'downtown ') but close to the beach and restaurants.

If you ate between the ages of 18-30 and love to go out, drink and meet new people, you NEED to stay at this place. It's located on a street with loads of restaurants and the atmosphere at night is a just splendid

❤️❤️❤️

Mirabeli was the perfect place to stay in Milos, walking distance to all of Pollonia, clean facilities, and Vassilis will truly make you feel like family.

Amazing hotel! It’s a little remote but the staff and food were amazing!

Incredible place! We stayed in the Presidential Villa and loved it! The breakfast provided by the hotel was wonderful with lots of different choices. The concierge was super responsive and helpful. The view is amazing and there were steps to go all the way down to the sea! This was an added bonus!

Nice, hardworking staff. Rooms were clean but a little tired compared to the rest of our trip. Amazing views BUT LOTS of steps to carry luggage up and down to get to rooms. Off the beaten path so felt very safe.

Wow this was our favorite hotel of our trip (with 4 different hotels). Balconies were great, pool was amazing, breakfast was the best and had real peanut butter as well as free flowing fresh squeezed oj. Short walk to the city streets.

Super friendly staff and great location. Would definitely not pay extra for room with a jacuzzi - no windows, musty and heard water through pipes all night). Second floor rooms had great view and hotel is short walk to the beach! Staff at the upstairs bar/restaurant went above and beyond to make our stay amazing!

Really nice breakfast spread, great location, and great room!

TOTALLY first class experience. Worth every penny. Best dinner of the week and crew members were friendly, knowledgable and attentive. Views were priceless.

Guide was super knowledgable. Learned alot. One member of our group was not able to walk all the steep steps to get there.

Really enjoyed this tour. Electric bikes were great - got some exercise but couldn't have done it without the power. Guide was a little young - super nice but not super knowledgable. Great way to view the countryside and loved stopping in the villages.

Nice afternoon but water was super cold so we couldn't swim. Really enjoyed the time on Delos Island. Guide there was not particularly friendly and wouldn't answer any of our questions, but her spiel was interesting and the island was fascinating. Red pasta lunch and fresh greek salad were very good.

Loved the farm and surroundings but had a hard time hearing our sommelier. Wine and snacks were plentiful, but I feel like this could have been so much more. Hard to buy wine (can't ship and can't take credit cards). Wish I got more info about each wine and the farm itself.

Really enjoyed our guide. She seems to run the island - ha ha. She was super knowledgable and proud of Naxos. The cooking class was very fun and food was delicious. Come hungry! We were somewhat embarrassed because we'd had a late lunch and were 7 women so we didn't make a dent in all the food. I was worried we hurt the chef's feelings. Homeowner and her husband do not speak english but guide did a good job making us all feel comfortable.

My rating is more about the fit of the hotel for our needs and not a reflection of the hotel itself. It’s a nice hotel, very clean, modern styling, in an area close to the waterfront. But our stay was on the evening before our return back to the states and we got there after dark and had to leave to go to the airport by 3:30a. So our experience with he area around the hotel was minimal. The rooms are tiny economy rooms with single beds, the “double” rooms are two single beds pushed together, a quad room is two sets of two single beds pushed together. We stayed at the Athens Intercontinental Hotel when we first arrived in Athens and it met our needs substantially better than Agra Hotel Rafina. It had spacious rooms, better sleeping arrangements for families, etc. The rest of the places we stayed on our trip were AirBnB villas and residences where we had ample space.

Beware of the tiny rooms and tiny beds.

Our guide knew the major sites, the history, the architecture, etc. I loved that experience. She was also able to engage with our children, 7 and 10 years old, and keep them excited. At some point we did need to move things on though because she could go much deeper than some of our group was willing to go, but that’s not on her… that’s just what happens with a large family group with mixed interests.

Great restaurant, phenomenal views! Eat the local dishes. But if you’re from the US and are a steak lover, don’t eat the steak because it’s not what you’re accustomed to. The meals and drinks were great otherwise. love the open air rooftop and views.

These ladies made a terrific meal for the family and were able to accommodate some finicky eaters in the group. The food was delicious, they cleaned up well afterwords, and packaged up the leftovers for us in the refrigerator.

I can’t recall our hosts name, but I believe she was the owner of the farm. She was engaging, entertaining, and educational. My entire family loved the experience and she created some great engagement through competition, etc.

Great views and place to see the sunset while eating. Great ambience… gets crowded at night but nice scene. Terrific seafood and presentation across the board.

We did an audible and decided to stay at Elia beach where our villa was rather than going to another beach. We avoided extra drive time, built a good relationship with the server on the beach, and had a great time on a less crowded more reasonably priced beach.

We LOVED the tour of ancient Akrotiri! It’s in a well ventilated covered area where the excavation is in place. It’s a wonderful model and experience for history archeology lovers.

Sunset views were fantastic. We had smooth seas, clear skies and the perfect day. We actually went on a catamaran rather than a wooden boat. But I should warn that “semi-private” basically is a group trip of up to 20 people (or more on some of the catamarans). If you have ANY mobility issues please contact the guide first before booking and showing up. The way we had to get on the boat was a bit challenging and we watched a group of six elderly travelers turn away because they didn’t feel safe trying to navigate the slippery, rocky pier to hop into a rubber raft with a small motor that was shuttling passengers from the short to the catamaran that was docked 150-200 meters offshore. Then transferring in open water. I was expecting a marina or dock boarding. We got lucky and there were only 9 travelers (2 others besides our party of 7) so it was truly semi-private.

Positively one of he most relaxing places I’ve ever stayed. The staff was friendly and very good at their jobs. The hotel was comfortable, clean, beautiful and just what we needed. The quietness of the location along with sunrise and sunset from our room, we couldn't have as for more! Breakfast was beautiful every morning, and just as tasty. Would love to visit this resort, again!

The resort is at the north end of Kefalonia near Fiskardo. Peaceful is an understatement, no cars, no aircraft, quiet and relaxing. If you want to just soak in sun and sea with little interruption this is the place. You can be busy if you want with the shuttle into town or just lounge by the beautiful pools. It was the perfect start to our trip celebrating our 40th anniversary.

The views from this hotel are absolutely breathtaking! The bathrooms were very small with no counter space and I thought the bed was so hard and uncomfortable. But honestly it may have been worth it for tbt views!

Location was great, loved tbt pool and lawn area, every staff member was exceptional!

Beautiful hotel, amazing location, great breakfast. Only negative was one small bathroom in a suite for 6.

Great views, amazing breakfast, comfortable and clean, free shuttle to hotel.

This was so fun. It’s a must do in Santorini!

Favorite tour of our trip! We loved our guide Spiros and it was so fun to be led to the best food on the island while also touring a bit of the area as well.

I had a wonderful stay at Caldera Memories! They were very helpful during my first day and gave me an overview of the island and the things I could do. The suite I stayed in was beautiful and had an amazing view of the ocean that looked stunning during sunset. They were also very accommodating and even offered shuttle services and other excursions I could try during my short stay. I would definitely stay there again!

It is approximately 35 minutes away from Fira by foot, so without a form of transportation like a car, shuttle, or ATV it can be quite the trek to walk to and from town.
