Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Within walking distance to the Acropolis. Lots of shopping and resaurants nearby. Very modern and wonderful staff.

Beautiful hotel in Old Town Chania. So much charm and character in this hotel. Right along the waterfront and lots of shopping and restaurants.

Hotel Keti is located over 115 stair below the main walk way and shops. Be prepared to get your steps in. Beautifully located on the side of the cliff, they have amazing views. The breakfast was amazing, and the staff were the most wonderful people we had ever met. Friendly and knowledgeable. They were always happy to help us from restaurant recommendations , to how to get on the bus and go to Oia. We really appreciated their customer service and graciousness. They made us feel at home. We hope to return back .

This hotel is in the perfect spot in Athens, Greece. Located below the Parthenon, in Plaka, you are close to near by shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and bars. The staff was very courteous and friendly. The room was very nice. The rooftop bar has amazing food and beverages, and at sunset you can see the Parthenon and all of its glory. We look forward to staying here again.

Our transport driver was amazing. She told us about the land and how Greece uses it agriculture. She was wonderful at explaining the ski resort that we went through into Delphi. At the end of our tour in Delphi she took us to a wonderful restaurant for my birthday. Oh my it was so good. The staff was amazing. Best birthday experience. Our Tour Guide in Delphi was very nice. He was very knowledgeable of the landmarks and how they came to be.

Katerina was our tour guide and she is awesome. My husband and found how she told the stories of the tour to be amazing. She was so detailed and made you feel like as you walked that you were getting a once in a life time experience. She took us on a little hike that showed the Parthenon in the background, to tasting delicious ice cream and sorbet. Along the trip we stopped at a local cafe, where we tasted Greek coffee, which my husband loves, and I tried another type of coffee and love it as well. Out of the whole trip this was our favorite excursion. We hope to do the food tour with her when we go back.

We had the best time at the cooking class. We learned how to make Greek Street food. From Gyros, to Greek cheese cake, to making spice feta cheese it was an experience that we would not forget. The family was so welcoming. We all laughed, and had wonderful experience with food and wine. Learning how to make homemade pita bread was great. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. We hope to return and learn something new.

Hot tubs on roof were amazing and used nightly! In our two bedroom suite, bathrooms were outside the rooms.

The multi-levels within the room was a bit tricky. 3 steps between bed and bathroom and bed and shower.

Beautiful hotel, no extra frills, but perfect for our trip.

Easy walk to key sites.

Size of the party was too big for the guide to adapt for needs of individuals. Left a member of our party behind when they went to the WC. They never caught back up with the tour.

Incredible tour. The guide was fun and elevated the trip to the capabilities of the guests.

This and the kayak tour were the highlights of the trip. The guide was amazing and tremendous fun.

Beautiful scenery

Guide was the highlight of this activity. Scenery was great, food good, walk fun.

Great staff that tried real hard. Very rough seas made the trip very tough for half our party.

Awesome property with all amenities like private pool, full fledged kitchen, laundry and room cleaning services. Locaton is beautiful. We were staying in a 2 bedroom suite, Rooms are build with good amaneties but cave like appearence. The only issue I had there were the slippery stairs as i fell down on one of those during my stay. Staff was notified and they are pretty open to the feedback, so hope they work on it as it is safety realted issue.

A comparitevely new hotel with minimum waste policy, so they provide thermos to the guests with drinking water dispensor at different places on the property. Beutiful loaction with private beach and pools with some rooms. The are still working towards their kitchen , so breakfast options are not enough, but everything is made on demand.

In the heart of the city, everything is at walkable distance. Room and Breakfast was as expected. But USP would be its location.

The Private Yacht Caldera Cruise in Santorini was fantastic. It wasn't just the kids who enjoyed it; we all had a wonderful time. The food and hospitality were excellent, and it was a delightful way to enjoy the scenery and relax. A truly memorable experience for the whole family.

The Historic Byzantine Path Hiking Adventure in Paros was a standout activity during our trip. It wasn't just a hike; it was an experience where we got to immerse ourselves in nature and enjoy the rustic charm of Paros. After the hike, we stopped at a local cafe where we enjoyed a delicious orange dessert and coffee, surrounded by friendly cats. It felt more authentic and less touristy, and we absolutely loved it.

The Private Percy Jackson-Inspired Hero’s Adventure in Athens was good, especially for the kids. My son was quite interested in the stories and mythology, while my younger daughter seemed to absorb more than she let on at the time. It's a great educational activity for children with an interest in Greek myths.

This was the highlight of our trip. The BEST hotel I have ever stayed in my entire life. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel.

It was a bit on the older side - the room was not as nice as the other 2 hotels. But the service was impeccable.

WOW! Another highlight for us! The best experience! Spyros was amazing!

We could have done this on our own. We were also supposed to have lunch included but we did not.

WOW! The best!

One of the best Catamaran experiences we have had. Great captain and staff, food was amazing. We could have not asked for a better experience.

We really enjoyed the exclusivity of the day. Our guide was awesome. And we were able to see parts of Milos that we would have missed.

This is a charming boutique, hotel, great location very nice staff.

This hotel is in a beautiful location, charming great vibes like a fairytale village

Lovely, boutique, hotel, good location, and good breakfast

The hotel was in a great location, clean and modern however, the breakfast could use an upgrade

Wonderful experience we had the museum and site pretty much to ourselves as it was late afternoon The guide was very knowledgeable

Love the wine maker and learning about how wine is made and sold it was a fun experience and the wine was great

Our guide Poppy was so knowledgeable. She answered every question we had. Since it was afternoon, we practically had the museum to ourselves. It was quite wonderful. And the trip up to the Acropolis was fantastic

We stayed one night at Niche Hotel. The property is an ideal location for all your acropolis type tours and offers an exceptional view of the acropolis from the rooftop bar and terrace! The rooms are exceptionally clean and the bed and pillows are really comfortable, and you can swap pillows for the type of sleeper you are! The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of foods!

Samaria hotel is a boutique hotel with an exceptional location to everything Chania has to offer! The property is exceptionally clean and even smells wonderful. The pool is a hidden oasis. The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety to fuel up for your day!

Great location to the ferry and town center. Excellent views over the harbour. Quality breakfast buffet is a bonus. The rooftop bar and pool are a nice retreat after activities.

The service was exceptional and the location and views are magnificent! We had a room with a private infinity pool overlooking the caldera, it was stunning. The rooms and property were exceptionally clean and maintained. The breakfast overlooking the caldera is delicious and you have a full menu to choose from!

Viewing the caldera and the cities of Santorini from the water is magnificent. You learn a bit of history while experiencing breathtaking views! It was a bit on the cool side the day we went but my adult children still swam! The lunch / dinner was adequate. The sunset was spectacular!! *** our transport driver drove like a maniac. It made many of the ticket holders uncomfortable. While I can see why the transports back down the hill toward the port I don’t believe the driver needed to accelerated in reverse ***

Our guide was excellent and the tour was extremely informative and focused on the most important elements from history. Having a tour guide truly helps you understand museums and ruins and acts as a fast pass versus trying to decipher each exhibit alone!

Ebiking is an exceptional way to see different areas of a city while exercising and not having the hassle of parking and traffic. Our tour was about 4 hrs and we explored many viewpoints and historical landmarks. Our guide Katarina was EXCELLENT! She was so friendly and welcoming and a top notch guide! She also took lots of candid photos of us and shared them at the end!

Very hard to get in contact with the hotel management; electricity and water cut off with no warning and no one was available in the office/picking up.

Grea room, very comfortable. Pretty view. The beach was rocky, not sandy. It is not in town so a car or private transfer was needed to get to places. If you want to be out of town a bit this place was perfect. Super helpful staff.

Great location, couldn't be beat. The hot tub/warm tub was a nice touch. The layout of the room was like a cave, which was cool and unique but also kind of weird. It was a bit challenging to lug the suitcase around the room. Very helpful and nice staff.

Really nice place. Super friendly staff. Rooftop patio was great at night. For a hotel in Europe, the bathroom was pretty nice. The stairs up to the bed would have been difficult for someone that was disabled. Overall, we loved this place. Best hotel of our trip.

We visited historical sites in Marsala followed by Mothia, remains of a fascinating Phoenician settlement. Our guide managed to fit in a good deal! Afterwards we toured the salt pans and saw how sea salt was harvested, saw the old wind-powered grinding stone, and had a salt tasting. A great day.

We were given a tour only of the Gattopoardo Museum by an English-speaking cousin of a museum employee, although I had requested history and culture of the town.

Another great guide, interesting site. Huge!

Fun! Great food! Included historical sites, and although we had seen some of them the previous day, we got a different perspective on them.

Another great guide. She also pointed us to an ethnographic museum because we were looking for more cultural and anthropological informaition.

Pompeii was fascinating. The guide, however, tended to walk ahead with my husband so I missed much of what he said. The tour of Naples was pretty good. The driver was careful.

Great guide, knowledgeable an interesting.

Great guide, knowledgeable and interesting.

Beautiful setting, tasted four wines, then had lunch. A nice stop on a drive, and fun to learn about local wines.

The site is not one to miss. The group tour is okay.

Our guide was so knowledgeable and engaging!

Imerovigli was incredible as a location to stay in Santorini. Located at (or close) the highest point on the island, the views were unmatched as some of the best on the entire island. This side of the island faces west which allows for incredible sunset views. Our room had a private hot tub and balcony and we were able to watch the some of the most beautiful sunset views in the world from the comfort of our room. The location was quiet and relaxing but was very close to many restaurants and tavernas and was not a bad walk down to Fira if we wanted the more bustling and lively vibes. The hotel served breakfast each morning at a designated time (you could change it each day if needed) which we ate on our balcony with a stunning view. The staff also gave us a "breakfast bag" on our last night as we had an early flight out in the morning and were leaving before their first allotted time. The staff and service were great; it was unseasonably chilly during our time in Santorini (mostly felt in the mornings and evenings), and we asked them to turn up the temperature on the hot tub which they did the next time we were out of our rooms.

Truly serene boutique hotel. It was in such a quiet area with a beach directly across the street. The pool was SO nice and and the sunsets were beautiful to see from our room. We loved the location because where we were located, it was still so close to Mykonos Town and the hotel provided a free shuttle until 9:00PM (21:00). The staff here was the best of our entire Greece trip in terms of recommendations, accommodations, and helping with just about anything we needed.

Loved this boutique hotel. Located right in Plaka so you are very close to the heart of Athens, but its located on a quiet street that was perfect. Our hotel room had a balcony where we could see both Hadrian's Gate and the Acropolis. They had a bottle of champagne upon arrival, which was a great touch. The room was great with lots of amenities and a mini bar with snacks and drinks available to purchase. Our flight arrived early and the room was not yet available but they let us drop off our bags so we could explore Athens and the bags were already in our room when we arrived in the afternoon to check in. A breakfast buffet was served downstairs every morning and the food was great with a very wide selection (pastries, hot breakfast, coffee, juice, granola bars, etc.). The perfect place to start our Greece vacation.

The kayak tour was such a great day! Kalliopi was truly one of the nicest, most genuine people we met while in Greece. She was so personable, funny, and inclusive during the trip. We were picked up right next to our hotel and drove to a more remote part of Santorini. We arrived and waited for the other transfer with guests and everyone was so friendly. Kalliopi offered everyone coffee while we waited and then started to give everyone their gear. We were given hats, life vests, and really everything we needed. Kalliopi even included a water-proof phone case for everyone so they could take pictures while out on the water. We all departed in the kayaks and saw the Red Beach, White Beach, and then Black Beach and got to see the two caves which were so cool! The water was really calm so our guide was able to show us all of her spots. We then started to head back but stopped on the Black Beach to eat lunch. It was perfect! Kalliopi and her assistant set up towels for a little picnic and the food (which i think may have been home-cooked!) was really good! We had time to relax and swim/snorkel before finally heading back to the start. The views were so cool to see since they were only accessible by boat! We got so lucky that our group was all incredibly nice and we got to know most of the group by the end of it. When we arrived back at the house, we were offered a glass of wine or beer so everyone got to talk and relax afterwards. Kalliopi really goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a great day. I wish more human beings were as genuine as her!

The panoramic tour is a must in Santorini! The island is much too large to be able to see all the sights and this was the perfect way for us to see and explore Oia (due to us staying in Imerovigli) as well as the wineries and some of the beaches on the other side of the island from where we stayed. We were picked up from our hotel and drove straight to Oia as the early morning pickup helped us to beat some of the big crowds there. We were dropped off by our driver and our guide, Alyssa, walked us through Oia to see many of the iconic sights and views of that area. We walked all the way to the end and got some great photos. The timing was fantastic because as we walked back to where we began, the crowds and tourists were already picking up and it was starting to get quite busy. We then drove over to the winery where we learned about the volcanic soil and how it affects the famous wines from Santorini, which was super interesting to learn about and how it contrasts to the Napa Valley wineries back in the US. We got to taste three wines afterwards and they also served us water and various nuts/cheeses that paired with each. It was such a quaint and relaxing stop! We next traveled up to the monastery which was very cool to see; we even saw a monk out working in the garden! Our last stop, we drove down to one of the black beaches to each lunch. The restaurant (named 41) was such a cool stop. It was located right on the water and the food was incredible. We wouldn't have been able to experience this side of the island had we not done the tour! My only criticism from this day (and its hardly one) was that because the tour group's office was on the return trip to Imerovigli, they dropped off Alyssa before us so that the driver could continue afterwards to his next transfer. The dispatch had called shortly before they dropped her off so there wasn't really any notice for anyone and I would have liked to be able to give her a tip in person. I talked to the driver and explained that I wanted to give them both a tip but missed the opportunity to give one to Alyssa and he said they all have a great relationship and would give it onto her. The problem was she was actually the one that spent the majority of the tour with us and I did want to give her a larger one than him (even though I really liked our driver as well), but felt guilty so I tipped them both the same. Again, it was really not a big deal and the drop off came suddenly from Santorini's Luxury Travel, but I did feel bad for Alyssa.

The catamaran cruise was a great change of pace from the other excursions! We got on the cruise early and set sail once the group was all on board, we were all served drinks (water, soda, wine, or beer) and then made our way to Delos. As we got close, the crew explained some of the ancient mythology and significance of Delos being the birthplace of Apollo and we slowly cruised by the island where we could see the ruins and take pictures. We continued our trip to a bay in Rhenia where the crew dropped anchor and we could swim and relax for an hour or two. The water was a bit cold so we didn't swim but still could relax and drink on the boat. We met a lot of funny and interesting guests which really made this excursion so much fun. They served us pasta for lunch which was really well prepared considering they made it on the ship. After a day of drinking on the catamaran, we felt like we were friends with all the guests by the end of the cruise. Such a fun day and the dock was directly next to our hotel so is was extremely easy to return back home after docking!

Although Mykonos is a smaller island, the tour was so fun! Our guide, Eddy, was so friendly and personable. He grew up on Mykonos and his knowledge was very apparent, he knew everything about the island like the history, culture, all the best spots! It really felt like we were spending several hours with an old friend. We drove past Mykonos town and stopped for some great pictures, and then drove to the lighthouse which was absolutely stunning. As we drove through the countryside of the island, he talked about the history, what to look for, how the stone barriers were actually the old property lines, the churches. It was so interesting and the views were so beautiful to see. Eddy also stopped in the middle to get everyone a Freddo Espresso and baklava from a cafe. The cafe was actually out of the baklava, so he made it a point to stop towards the end of the tour at another cafe to make sure we got to try it. We ended by driving to see the monastery and then all the various beaches and got out at many for great pictures. He really balanced the tour really well with ensuring we could capture the views with picture locations and also seeing and learning the cool spots on the island. Overall, it was such a fun day and the tour ended in the early afternoon, we still had so much of the day left for ourselves!

Initially we were a bit apprehensive due to this excursion including a long drive up into the mountains, but we were so thankful that Angela reassured us that the roads would not be too treacherous because this day turned out to be one of our favorites of the whole Greece trip! Our guide, Adam, picked up us early at our hotel and we ventured out of Athens into the countryside. The views were beautiful and he quickly started to talk about Greece's landscape and everything going on in the country (like the past wildfires that have hit Greece as we passed some areas with the remains of the flora). We stopped not too long into our drive in Thebes (Thiva) at a coffee shop where we all got some espressos which was a nice touch. We then continued onto our drive up towards Mount Parnassus and Adam was terrific in terms of the conversation; the two and a half hour drive really went by rather quickly. We arrived in Delphi and Adam walked us all the way to ticket booth at the Archeological Ruins, we connected via WhatsApp with him and he reassured us to take as much time as we wanted seeing both the site and the museum afterwards and to just message him once we arrived in the museum so he would bring the car back. The ruins were awesome to see, and despite not having a guided tour group, Adam had already went into a lot of the detail about the ruins, about what to look for, so we still got a great sense of what we were looking at (even down to the Roman vs Greek architecture). We walked all the way to the top and saw the stadium before venturing back down and went into the museum, which was also amazing to see it have so many old artifacts. Adam picked us up immediately outside the exit of the museum and then even had us stopped at a couple places before we left for us to stop and take our pictures. We then all drove to Arachova for lunch which was such a quaint, beautiful place up in the mountains. We laughed because he took us to the restaurant and ensured we had THE best table on their outdoor patio that could see the all the way down the mountain to the bay before he left to head back to the car. After eating, we reconvened and then had a very short drive to get some fantastic pictures of Arachova. Afterwards, Adam said that although we had an itinerary for the remainder of the day, but we could do or go anywhere we wanted for the rest of the day. From our conversations in the car, he learned that my wife had studied geology back in university so he gave a idea to instead drive back towards Athens the highway route and go see an ancient Greek quarry like that one mined to build the Acropolis. It was actually another part of a separate tour that he also did. We loved the idea so we agreed, and we drove back (including the off-roading portion) and arrived at one of the ancient quarries that was incredible to see with such a beautiful view of Athens as the sun began to set. He again went into such detail about the quarry and showed us an old monastery that was built into the side of it where we went in and took pictures. The trip actually went over the allotted time (he asked or mentioned it multiple times to ensure we would be alright with this!) before taking us back to the hotel. It can't be overstated how much Adam went above and beyond that day for us and as I had said, it was truly one of the most fun days of the whole trip for us.

Really enjoyed the mythology tour! Our guide, Alex, was incredibly smart and knowledgeable and did a fantastic job discussing both the history of each temple/structure as well as explaining the mythological stories and relevance. I have more background knowledge of Greek mythology than my wife but neither of us felt out of place during the tour. Alex really did a great job tying in both ancient Greek life into context today and it was very cool to hear just how many common English words stem directly from Greek and particularly Greek Mythology. May 2026 was one of the first months with the exterior scaffolding removed from the Parthenon which was awesome!

Great location with a lovely hot tub! The staff were super helpful! Definitely in a place of SUPER HIGH tourism though, and need assistance with luggage on stairs and finding the hotel initially.

Nice, peaceful hotel. We had the BEST view from our balcony of the beach. Close to great restaurants in walking distance, and a short taxi ride to downtown. I would recommend this place and suite to future travelers.

perfect location and the rooftop was amazing!

The ride itself and the sunset were beautiful. The food was SO GOOD. However, it was a pretty large group and we couldn't get off to walk on the beaches. A great experience, but a smaller group might have been nice.

Our absolute FAVORITE excursion. Katarina was amazing, a great way to see so much of the island and villages, and get away from the tourist crowds. Would recommend this to anyone, and the e-bikes made it very relaxing!

Our guide was very knowledgeable, we learned SO much about Santorini. A good way to get away from the heavy touristic area of Oia.

Loved the smaller group. Definitely colder for May, would suggest bundling up more than we did! But great trip to Delos, and Rheas with AMAZING lunch on board.

One of our favorite excursions. Loved that it was just us two and our guide. He was amazing (Lorenzo). Food was great, learned lots about Mykonos.

A must for visiting Athens to learn about the history!

more strenuous than we expected, but in a good way! Worth it for the view, and made for a great welcome to Athens!

We loved the ability to walk to anything we desired in town. Everything was within a 10 minute walk. The morning breakfast were such a highlight as well as the food was a wide range of delicious authentic Greek food and we always chose the option of eating outside on the covered patio amongst the beautiful flowers and weather. The owners were so helpful and we even rented a car through them that gave us the ability to travel all across the island. Our room was spacious and very comfortable with a large shared sundeck and view of the city. A great experience!

The Gerofinikas Hotel was like stepping into a magical land of luxury from the first moment we walked through the entrance in the hedge. We both seriously gasped! The extraordinary view that you receive from anywhere that you're outside in the resort is worth the stay alone, but the experience doesn't end there. They pamper you with a private small scale restaurant only available to guests that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, where you can either eat inside or on the covered patio with that incredible view. A full service coffee bar and bar open all day where they will serve you by the pool or lounging area. Each room has a secluded patio with that once again incredible view where you can lounge away. The staff was so calming and kind and truly made you feel that they existed to make your stay the best it could possibly be. It is only a 10-15 min walk from two nearby towns with many restaurant offerings as well if you choose to go out. Our stay at the Gerofinikas Boutique Hotel will forever be the highlight or our trip to Greece, and I will go so far to say that you should go to Sifnos, if only to experience this hotel. We will never forget it.

Taking this tour with Michael was like hanging out with an old friend from the moment we got in the car. He was so fun, knowledgeable and real about growing up on this island, the good and the bad. We had so many great conversations and his love and passion for Milos is so evident. We would've hung out with him all day!

This experience was hands down the highlight of our trip. Getting to spend this time with George around his table, in his kitchen and as he walked us through his fields explaining how to grow produce without water will be an experience we will never forget. His knowledge and love for preserving these ancient ways enchanted us and helped us realize what life on this island was truly like and what is being lost. Plus when do you get to sit around a table with a celebrity chef getting to eat food that he lovingly prepared? It was like being invited over for a family dinner but with a loving education provided as well. This is definitely a not to be missed experience for foodies and nature lovers alike!

We had the most amazing time with our wonderful guide Elizabeth who was so kind and truly joyful with everyone and animal we encountered. Her love and knowledge of Naxos completely shown through, and she led us on the most charming walking tour through several villages. When she learned of my love for Greek mythology, she immediately begin weaving her great knowledge of the local area with so many of the stories. This is something I will not forget! To be able to connect so many of this iconic stories with actual real places was amazing. The food, wine, liquor and people we became acquainted with through her were definitely a highlight of our trip to Greece. You don't want to miss this tour!
