Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Excellent location. Very welcoming. The best view of the Acropolis.

Take the stairs at least once to get a greater appreciation for the building. Beautiful! Stay on the 4th floor with the view if you can.

It's a family business, and they are eager to please. When it comes to the included breakfast, forget trying to tell them you're full. They firmly believe the way to a customer's heart is through the stomach. The harbor, town, bus stop, and nearby beaches were close by. We wanted for nothing. The online pictures are accurate.

Don't be afraid to ask for anything you need because they are eager to help.

Perfect place to stop in the middle of a long trip. You don't need to leave the hotel for a fantastic dinner with a view, poolside drinks, excellent hospitality, laundry service, and rooms with luxury amenities. It's a crazy ride to get there, but you won't get anywhere on Amorgos without such experience. The village is charming. Every meal will fill you up, and still, you'll ask for more.

It lacks a view so we have to give it only 4 stars. The staff is fantastic. The rooms are more spacious than most boutique hotels. I liked that there was space to hang our clothes to dry.

We are giving this five stars for location; they are 6 minutes from everything. That was our running joke anyway because we never had far to walk. The neighborhood is delightful. The staff is helpful. There is coffee available in the room. Breakfast is served at 8 am, so if you have early plans, include a stop at the nearby bakery/ coffee shop before you go.

Be patient when the staff tells you to close all the windows and wait 30 minutes for the air to kick on. It works!

An absolute must. It was only two stops but well worth it. Our driver Spyros was funny. Katerina, the owner of the distillery, was a generous host. We could have spent another hour there but had to leave for the Olive Oil Tasting. We could have passed on the Oil Tasting; it was touristy and deserved three stars.

We particularly appreciated the tour through the village of Langada. The stop at the bakery at the end was a nice finish. It's not Amazing but recommended if you want to know a little more as you explore.

We're giving this a five-star rating only because our guide added the monastery upon request. The tour was not overwhelming, but the guide shared many interesting facts about this sleepy, somewhat untouched island. The island is a diamond in the rough, and we hope it stays that way. We recommend it WITH a stop at the monastery.

This was a cool reprieve and a lovely day at an incredible secluded beach. If it's any indication of the beauty, there were a number of $M Private Yachts off the coast, but no cruise ships!!!! We love this island, its history, and the very special community that keeps it alive. Janas (sp) was our guide. He was extra laidback and allowed us to guide our own exploration and ask questions. Its a tiny island worth honoring.

This was one of the biggest unexpected highlights of our trip. I can't believe we almost canceled it due to the winds. The boat was just the right size for the six of us and the 2 person crew. They sailed with the winds and took us to places only small sailboats could go. The waters were crystal clear. We sailed through caves where the water's turned purple. We found white rock cliffs to jump from into the incredible coves. The food was okay but the drink was plenty. It kills me that I can not remember the name of the fabulous woman who served as shipmate and guide because she also entertained us with song. The captain shared his guitar and let us play while we all say. He played a few beautiful songs and sang with our guide. I am so sorry I can not remember their names. You could not ask for a more memorable Greek sailing tour.

If you go to Milos, you must go on this tour. It's a fantastic way to understand the history of this island and appreciate its history. Yes, I am still referring to a food tour. We cooked fish in the sand, ate fresh goat cheese, and ended with island wine. Our tour guide, Micheal, was the bomb. Request Michael if you can, as he is a local and owns a cocktail and wine bar called Fiki. He's an incredible host, as were all the establishments we visited along our tour.

As good as it gets for a large group tour. The food and people were good. The island visits touristy and the beaches are not so pristine. Be ready for crushed rock, not sand. My husband loved his first jump in the sea. We had fun.

This was an average tour but might have been better if buildings hadn't been closed or stops missed. Our guide and driver were as interesting as the tour. The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center was closed and the mirror pool was not as impressive as the photos. We were not able to get close to Lake Vouliagmeni but did manage to see it from a lookout point. I think we would choose to go there for the day instead of the tour. I don't remember "Enjoy a selection of meze (Greek tapas) and a drink at a seaside tavern" but we did get a fabulous recommendation for one in the city. The sunset was pretty at the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. Our guide new where to take the money shot.

The guide was very informative. You will find yourself standing a lot. It's a large group tour so expect the obvious. We are glad we did it when we first arrived in Athens.

The room was huge, beautiful and pristine. We loved the private deck area overlooking the Caldera, and the pool was gorgeous.

Our dinner at Aktaion restaurant was absolutely fabulous and right next to hotel. Highly recommend. Take a hike to Imerovigli. Beautiful, scenic hike with many photo opportunities. Book the Santorini Wine Tour to visit three wineries. It was terrific and a lot of fun. The last winery was especially gorgeous. Don’t miss taking the Sunset Oia Catamaran tour. Ask for the Delos Boat. Alice is a native and her cooking onboard was fabulous! We had a blast on this cruise. Everyone was friendly. Unlimited beer and wine, soft drinks, water. Opportunities to snorkel and swim. Such fun!

George and his wife were lovely and kind hosts. She is a fabulous baker and cook. The breakfasts here were memorable and five star! The suite we had overlooked The Temple of Apollo. Very scenic with ocean view and romantic porch. It was a huge, lovely appointed space with two bathrooms! Very decadent and remarkably luxurious.

We had a terrific dinner at Sarris Fish Tavern and a fabulous dinner at dal Professore Mediterranean Cuisine. Try to visit both! Saint George Beach was gorgeous! 20 euro to sit on the beach under an umbrella. We ordered a fabulous lunch brought to us by friendly, kind waiters. Loved it!

The Double Room Sea Front View was spectacular. The hotel was beautiful overlooking the sea. The pool was huge and very clean and refreshing. Staff was attentive and helpful. The pool bar was lovely and the breakfast variety was fantastic.

We thoroughly enjoyed our fabulous fish dinner at Sigi Ikthios restaurant overlooking the fishing village. Wonderful, scenic, and delicious.

The hotel had modern conveniences, was in a safe area in the Plaka district with distant views of the Parthenon. It was easily walkable to shops and restaurants nearby.

Beautiful remote location. Fantastic food. The staff is beyond great.

Gorgeous views and amazing service.

Could not take this tour because 3 people on our trip were I’ll.

This actually turned out to be a single haul vessel. But because of that we were able to get into some more shallow areas.

We sailed in a catamaran around Naxos. Our teen age boys just loved it. It was the highlight of their trip.

We drove to the hiking area. The path was pretty rocky and my husband fell 2 times. The statues we saw still partially buried were very neat though. Just be prepared for the steep slippery trail.

The Delphi experience was not something we expected. Such an interesting place.

Very knowledgeable guide and since it was so warn out she paced the climb so it wasn’t quite so tiring. Of course the Acropolis museum was wonderful!

Hotel staff was pleasant and helpful. Our room was clean and well setup for a family of 5. And the location was central to all we wanted to see

The staff is friendly and the location is central to everything in Fira. You can walk to the shops and the views are breath taking.

Antoni was the best host! So accommodating, friendly and helpful. The location was amazing! Walking distance to the best beach and many restaurants. The views were spectacular and our rooms were clean and comfortable! Great to have a kitchen! The air conditioner was strong and much needed!

We loved this small, family owned hotel. It's right in the middle of the town, you can walk everywhere including to the ferry. It's very clean and has a super breakfast every morning. We will stay here again for sure!!

This cooking class was really fun! The owner of the restaurant, Maria, is so lovely and warm. The rest of the staff was also super friendly and made us feel so welcome. Marina, one of the assistants, took tons of pictures for us and was super fun to chat with. We had a lovely time learning some Greek recipes and we got to take some food back to our hotel for later. Everything was so delicious! I highly recommend taking this class! It's great for older kids and teens as well!

Milos is a small island and very walkable and you can get around on the bus. The towns are lovely!! It's truly beautiful, friendly and we would definitely want to visit again. It was our favorite island of our visit!!

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.

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 hotel and great location!

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.

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 guide and fun tour!!!

Amazing!!!!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

Booked right away don’t wait!

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,

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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

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

❤️❤️❤️
