Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

The Athens Ivy is located in the heart of Athens, near a lot of shopping and dining. A few of the rooms have a view of the Acropolis , but most don't. It is within reasonable walking distance of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The included breakfast is better than most. The breakfast is served in an on-site restaurant and allows many choices. The restaurant is also nice for late night relaxing. Other than the restaurant, there are not really any common areas. The lobby is tiny. The rooms were all updated, clean, and tastefully decorated.

It was a pleasure to spend the day with Nancy. She was a very good driver. She was full of information when we asked, but also allowed silence when appropriate. She made arrangements for lunch at a wonderful restaurant near Delphi that we would have never found ourselves.

George was engaging and pleasant. He was a good driver. His suggested lunch stop was timely and scenic.

The room was large , clean and comfortable. The bathroom the same. Breakfast was a large selection of a variety of food, all delicious.

Wow, what excellent hospitality, big very clean room with lots of perks and a view beyond compare. The service was so warm and friendly, the accommodations superb.

This hotel was super close to all the restaurant and the water.

loved loved loved this hotel. The breakfast buffet was the best I ever had. The view to the Acropolis from the restaurant was amazing and the hotel was walkable to attractions and other restaurants.

This hotel was nice but not close to the old town or attractions. Super close to the beach. I liked the events they offered - bbq dinner and lobster dinner - both with entertainment.

This hotel was nice but a little remote from town. We only stayed one night so it was not a bother.

tour guide was fabulous. She pointed out historical monuments along the way and gave us extra time with her.

Maria was amazing and so knowledgeable.

tour guide was wonderful and knowledgable.

Very enlightening about the history of this island

This was awesome. The lunch was top notch as were the crew. The water is so crystal clear and we went to the island early when the crowds were less.

the boat ride was a little bumpy but that had to do with the boat style.

Perfect location to walk almost anywhere and easy to access many restaurants. Every employee we encountered at the hotel was amazing! Breakfast was amazing with many options to choose from.

This hotel is BEAUTIFUL!!! Our hosts made us feel like family and our room was wonderful with amazing views. We were visiting other islands but I wish we could have stayed here the whole time, I was sad to leave.

Perfect location in the heart of Milos to access everything! Taxis, bus, car & atv rental, restaurants, bars and shopping are right there. We encountered the same employees every day which felt very personal. This might sound weird but I LOVED the layout of the bathroom in our room; I'm a huge fan of the toilet being separate from the sink and shower. I also loved the interior design of the whole building. Breakfast was also delicious!

Beautiful hotel and perfect location to walk to beach and numerous amazing restaurants. It was also very close to the bus stop which takes you almost anywhere on the island.

Beautiful hotel! We were here for less than 24 hours before we caught a very early flight out of Athens. We informed them we'd be checking out in the early morning so they packed us a breakfast! What an amazing and kind personal touch and was much appreciated.

Guide was excellent, fun & very knowledgeable.

Spiros was an excellent captain, very generous with his time & knowledge. He was also very flexible & showed consistent concern for our comfort & safety

We had already done quite a bit in previous tours and realized we did not need this tour. Hercules was great, he just didn’t have a lot to share with us.

Panos was an excellent guide & we thoroughly enjoyed all the historical knowledge and scenic places we visited. The only drawback was the end of night meal. We were the only people in the restaurant which was awkward and our main meal was just pasta with chicken.

Stratos was an excellent guide and we enjoyed all the various experiences. My only suggestion is that it did feel a little long, and I think the honey tasting could be removed. The olive oil tasting lunch wine, tasting, and visiting the villages was spectacular.

The breakfast here was so good and I loved the extra treats.

The only thing is not having breakfast on site but making sure we had breakfast with our traveling partners on the balcony was perfect t

It was FABULOUS!! 10:10 my favorite activity.

We couldn’t have had a better driver. Our tour was an absolute blast. So much so we booked another one with the same driver

It was so so much walking. A lot. So many stairs.

We had an absolute blast in this however it was an hour too long.

A lot of climbing for people who were jet lagged. Would have loved to have done this the next morning when I was fresh but it was till amazing

View from the restaurant was incredible.

Hotel itself was beautiful, our room was disappointing

The tour guide was very good, very knowledgeable and sensitive to the fact that it was a brutally hot day. She tried to find shade whenever she could.

The driver was very accommodating and helpful.

Maria was incredible. What a terrific ambassador for Greece. We learned so much about the food, customs and traditions of the Greek people. This was an absolutely wonderful tour and totally delightful. It's easily one the highlights of our trip.

This was advertised as a six hour tour and it was over in three and a half hours. For much of the tour the driver was on his cell phone conducting what we assumed was personal business. Unlike other tour guides, he was not very accommodating. We indicated an interest in seeing the town, a request he could have easily accommodated since we were running well ahead of schedule and while he offered to drop us off it was begrudgingly and then suggested he's send somebody else to pick us up.

There should be a better way of transporting people to and from the catamaran. We spend over an hour on the bus between the pick up and drop off.

This tour was a nice introduction to Santorini. It was helpful to do it on the first night we arrived because it gave us a good feel for the island and how we wanted to spend our time there.

It was brutally hot so we were not able to fully appreciate the local markets.

We didn't complete this because it was difficult terrain getting from our hotel to town and our jeep driver who could have helped us get there and back did not.

Great staff. They helped us with a breakfast box when we had to leave early.

We enjoyed this property. One evening we walked into the restaurant area thinking it was open. We saw the family having dinner. Instead of sending us away, they told us to join and shared their homemade wine!

Enjoyed the modern feel of this hotel. Great staff who were super helpful, especially Angela!

Beautiful hotel and incredible staff!

Cute hotel! We wished we could have stayed longer!

Amazing….our guide Sophia was incredible. Great way to see the island!

Totally enjoyed Chef Chris and Constantine. Great recipes and amazing wine!

Learned so much! Enjoyed our guide Kostas…he is so informative. The ruins are incredible.

This was our first tour and it was so great! Ronia, our guide, was incredible. She was so knowledgeable and shared that with us. The food was delicious as well.

Great hotel with friendly staff and ideal location. We did not have any issues with noise which I read about in other reviews.

Clean, bright rooms, with an ideal location. Attentive staff.

Spectacular views! The many steps up/down were manageable for us. Food was quite good, the best we had had for hotel food. Rooms were clean, bright and enjoyable and staff was friendly and helpful.

We had a private tour in Naxos that was equally as good as the group tour in Athens. The guides were informative and made the experience very enjoyable.

The wine tour in Santorini was very good. The driver was prompt and provided interesting information about the island and the wine-making process, which made the experience fun and informative.

The catamaran cruise was great with an attentive crew and good weather. We enjoyed snorkeling and the dinner on board. However, there wasn't much to see in terms of sights. We still enjoyed it regardless!

All the tours were great, and the guides were very informative and fun, which made the experience enjoyable. We had a group tour in Athens that was excellent.

This hotel was in a great area. It is in the middle of restaurants, shops and a short walk to the Acropolis. The rooms were clean, and the bar top restaurant has the most amazing view! The staff were friendly and accommodating.

The hotel was beautiful and a short walk to the beach. The room was very clean, however, we could not get the ac to work correctly, making the room a little stuffy. The bathroom had drain flys that were a little aggravating and the shower water pressure was very low. We alerted the staff about the water pressure and were told it it was fixed. It worked fine at night, but the next morning, it was low again.

This was by far our favorite hotel that we stayed at during our trip. We stayed in the Moonlight suite, which thankfully was a short walk to the street level. The view, the view, the view....I cannot say enough about the view! It was absolutely amazing. You could literally stay out on your terrace all day and night watching the sunset. The room is designed to feel like a cave which makes the room feel cozy. The shower was big and has great water pressure. I would highly recommend and I would stay at this hotel anytime I visit Santorini.

Our guide was very detailed and knew a lot about the history of the Acropolis. I did feel like the last hour (hour 4) made it too long of a tour, but I enjoyed it.

Our guide was very informative and the villages he took us to were very quaint and had amazing food and scenery.

Absolutely amazing! The best adventure of our trip. We could not have ended with a better adventure. Swimming in the sea, eating lunch, meeting great people, and watching the amazing sunset was an absolute dream. I highly recommend, you will not regret it.

This hotel was good but not great. Shower water temperature and pressure was inconsistent. In our first room it was really bad, we had to move rooms. It still happened in the second room but not as badly. Rooms are a bit dated. Pool was great, views were great, and the BBQ dinner with traditional music and dancing was a fun time for our family. Staff was mostly friendly and helpful with one exception.

We had a great experience here. A lovely stay with helpful staff. The spa shower was an excellent amenity. The breakfast and restaurant in general were fantastic. Would stay here again.

Great location, mostly clean and comfortable conditions. We did have a cockroach in our room but only once. The location in the city is great and the staff were helpful.

Only there for one night, so it worked out well for us. Room wasn't cleaned well (previous guests trash under the AC). The air conditioning was not great, the bathroom had a bit of a funky drain/sewer smell, good food and a lovely pool. Views of the sea were great. Worked well as a stopover on our way to the airport but not somewhere I'd have wanted to stay more than a night.

This was our favorite part of the trip. The boat company staff were fabulous. The food served at lunch was delicious. The boat was beautiful. We loved it. Everyone was really impressed and pleased.

Our tour guide was great, and we had a great time. We needed a larger boat for the size of our group. We also needed more information about what to expect. This was very rustic and adventurous. A great time but very much a more athletic and active outing than we realized.

Yanis was great, this was a really lovely tour and the lunch was delicious. Highly recommend!

Maria our tour guide was incredible. She adjusted for our jet lagged 9 year old and made the tour a truly special and enjoyable day. She went above and beyond for us and her knowledge and fabulous attitude were remarkable. Highly recommend.

Very informational. Loved it. Nefali was a fun instructor

Amazing day. One of our favorites of the whole trip. Got paired with a family from Maryland that made the experience even better. Whole boat staff and the food was AMAZING!!

Made some great food. Fava became a fan fave of mine. The instructors were awesome. Only thing I wish was if there was other people in the class with us to do the experience with and more wine to be drank.

This was our favorite day of Santorini. George is amazing. We learned a lot and saw a lot and so glad we did this tour before we left.

Wife’s favorite tour. Saw a bunch of beaches we wanted to see. Swam everywhere we wanted and hit more spots that weren’t even on the list. Amazing experience and great crew. Food was also amazing!

Got an ATV. Saw the whole island. Hit 5 different beaches. Great overall day

The location is amazing and the rooms were clean. The pull out bunkbed couch is too small for teens. Room was cold with no blankets and breakfast was not great.

Beautiful hotel and views, comfortable for family of 4-great staff and breakfast was delicious.

Leo was so knowledgeable, flexible and polite.

Rooms are typical European size. Breakfast was basic. Location was perfect. We could walk to all the sites and shopping we wanted to see and do.

Beautiful hotel with spacious room overlooking the water. It was within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Breakfast was very good with many selections.

Apartment was spacious. There was a rooftop with wonderful sunset views and a small pool to enjoy.

The rooms were quite large with mini refrigerator and tea pot. There was a indoor pool, sauna and workout room. Onsite bar and restaurant also available. Staff were professional. We had complimentary dinner and breakfast. Food was terrible and it took almost 2 hours to get dinner. Breakfast buffet had many varieties but food was subpar with hot foods not hot and most of food bland. If you are going for the hotel only, I would give it a higher score but the food and restaurant service brought it down. They only had one waiter! He worked hard but could only do so much. Need a new chef and more waitstaff.

The driver was late and then the guide was late. Poor communication on what we really needed to bring on the trek. Guide provided wet bags but no water or snacks as promised. Fortunately, we all brought water and a few snacks. Once we were on our hike through the gorge, it was fantastic. Lunch afterwards was local and very good. The guide was very informative and helpful once we started on our hike.

The Canyons & Villages E-Bike Adventure was a great surprise. They provided more than expected, including cheese, food, sweet pie, water, and soft drinks. The food layout halfway through the tour was really nice, and everyone loved the e-bike tour. It was a very enjoyable and well-organized activity.

The Morning or Evening Sea Kayaking to the Temple of Poseidon was excellent. The company was really awesome, with three staff members who provided plenty of water and fruit for the trip. The experience was well managed and enjoyable, with no issues.

We really enjoyed our stay at Athens Manor Houses! The location is excellent, centrally situated and incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The historic buildings the hotel is housed in are truly special and add so much character to the experience. The staff was warm, friendly, and a pleasure to interact with throughout our stay. Our only note would be that the wall AC units struggled to keep up with the summer heat in Athens, which made the rooms warmer than we would have liked. Something to keep in mind if you're visiting during the hotter months! Overall, a lovely property with a lot of charm, we'd recommend it to anyone looking for a well-located, characterful place to stay in Athens.

If you're looking for the perfect home base in Naxos, look no further than Anapollo Boutique Hotel. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with a refreshing welcome lemonade, we knew we were in for a special stay. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Naxos Town and walkable to everything. The rooms are beautiful and the overall vibe of the hotel is warm, inviting, and full of charm. The staff truly sets this place apart; they were incredibly kind, accommodating, and went out of their way to make us feel at home. And the breakfast? Absolutely delicious, a wonderful way to start each morning. We loved every minute of our stay at Anapollo and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting Naxos. We would absolutely stay here again!

Parion Opus Hotel is an interesting property with a lot going for it, though it may not be for everyone. The location sits just outside the center of Naoussa, still walkable into town, which we appreciated, though being nestled in a residential neighborhood did mean we picked up some ambient neighborhood sounds throughout our stay. The room itself was very modern and industrial in style, a cool aesthetic that felt a bit different from the typical Greek island accommodation. The staff was friendly and pleasant throughout our visit, and having access to the larger pool at their sister property across the street was a great perk. The undisputed highlight of our stay was breakfast, brought directly to our room each morning and enjoyed on our patio. It was a truly lovely way to start the day, and the food was delicious. That alone made the stay memorable. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Parion Opus and appreciated its unique character, though it may not be the property we'd return to on a future visit to Paros. That said, if a modern aesthetic, a great breakfast experience, and a quieter setting appeal to you, it's worth considering!

Kasimatis by La Perla exceeded every expectation and is truly one of the most special places we have ever stayed. If you're looking for the magic of Santorini without the crowds of Oia, Imerovigli is the answer, and this property is the crown jewel of it. The cave-style rooms are stunning, beautifully designed, incredibly private, and unlike anything else. Our private patio and jacuzzi were absolute perfection, and the caldera views from both were simply breathtaking. Waking up to that view every morning never got old. Speaking of mornings, breakfast was brought to our room each day, and enjoying a delicious, freshly prepared meal on our patio overlooking the caldera is something we will never forget. There truly are no words for how special that experience is. It's the kind of moment you travel for. The location in Imerovigli strikes the perfect balance, peaceful and far less touristy than Oia, yet still easily accessible to everything Santorini has to offer. We loved absolutely everything about our stay at Kasimatis by La Perla and would return without a second thought. If you're planning a trip to Santorini, do yourself a favor and book here, you will not regret it.

Great pool, rooms are very small, bathroom shower is very old and sub-par. Buffet was good, lots of choices for food. Good location to walk into town and there is a beach club where you can rent sunbeds.

Leo was great, loved the places we visited

Notice** we did not go on this so I cannot actually rate this we canx this as it was a very windy day and 8 hours sounded too long to be on a boat. No refund was provided as it was 24 hrs before departure which was a bummer.

we canx the beach day and asked for a shuttle to a village instead, this was somewhat stressful for our operator I believe as the driver had been booked to drop us off at a beach of our choosing and return 5 hrs later. Again, more details before the trip would have been helpful vs "free day in Naxos"
