Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Beautiful location,Professional and hard working staff...the only feedback would be to have some different breakfast options as daily having same breakfast is monotonous since we stayed there for 4 days.

In love with this place. Beautiful location..peaceful..They went extra mile by providing complimentary cake for my birthday as requested by my friend along with complimentary spa services from their end..which totally impressed us.

If you need tranquility visit this place ..The interior of this hotel are amazing...so unique. Their breakfast spread is awesome. The pool is location is my favourite.

I would like to rate 5 for the staff here. This place is centrally located to the downtown. Rooms are tiny which is a bit inconvenience however they but very clean.. There breakfast spread was awesome.

Could have been more informatic regarding the culture around.

We had two different port visit which was not done..we were picked and dropped at same port.. For vegetarian there were no much options to eat.

The guide was very informatic courteous. As per the itinerary we have 3 to 4 beaches but we were taken to only 1 beach which was lil disappointing..however due to the good attitude of the guide I am rating 5 star for this tour.

Tour guide could have been more proactive in providing information regarding the place.

This was one of the best walking tours we have ever done. Gus was so much fun, had tons of really interesting history about the island and culture, and showed us amazing food throughout. If you are going to Santorini, this tour is an absolute must.

The staff were very good but the tubs were very dangerous to shower in as they had a very narrow flat to stand..

Shower next to bed is weird.

Spectacular The only negative would be finish on the steps and shower floor in the downstairs shower area is very slippery when wet. My wife actually slipped and fell and thankfully was not injured. It is a vey unique feature but they should think putting non slip coating or tile in the steps and shower floor.

New and has an upscale appearance. Water views while dining are fabulous.

It had mold in the shower and was hard to get to via Google Maps. Also its a little loud. You could hear dogs barking, motorcycles, etc. It did have a really nice courtyard and they brought us breakfast and coffee. in the morning which was a nice touch.

Trendy hotel was wonderful. Our room was facing the street so was quite noisy at night from the bars below , but the room and balcony were lovely The breakfast was great ., we enjoyed the roof top bar also for evening drinks . But best of all was the staff, they were beyond friendly and helpful .

Excellent staff and accommodations. Location was great if you like to be a bit away from the crowds - possible just the time we were there but it felt like a windier part of the island, but that didn't detract us from the enjoyment. The view was amazing - perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunset in your space while others crowd for best views in other parts of the island. Hotel was in great condition.

The hotel was clearly not finished in construction - it had the needful - but left some things to be desired. If this was a year from now, I bet I'd give it a 4+ star.

Clean and comfortable - large room.

At the top of our favorite list - the ambiance was wonderful, the cooking class was extremely fun to get such an interaction and the very good wine was flowing heavy with a tremendous amount of good food to eat at the end. For obvious practical reasons (we are drinking a lot of wine), the level of cooking that we did was pretty simplistic. But, that left me able to watch and talk to be engaged and learn without having to focus on my hands. Description needs updated a bit - no cellar tour, and the menu was slightly different but still delicious.

Wonderful experience all around - just what you want - amazing how the vantage point from the sea feels strikingly different despite having been on the high caldera rim for 2 days prior. A must do thing once you have explored the island on foot.

The most authentic thing we could have done - it was like going to a distant relative's house to have a nice meal and conversation with cooking class included. The guide and host were outstanding - even with a language barrier to the host we could tell they genuinely enjoyed being able to give us such an experience. Only downside was the description again - we didn't get to do to an olive oil factory tour which we had really looked forward to. The things we did were amazing though.

Great information and good guide - but just took too long of our limited time.

Awesome individual experience - local guide who was knowledgeable and personable - it felt like we were making a friend. Very authentic way to learn about the city and food scene. If I was to do one activity in Athens, it would be this. The rest you can see self-guided easily enough, but the food in Greece is so good that this is just an awesome way to experience it.

We spent most of our trip at this hotel. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was homemade and didn’t disappoint. Naxos was by far our favorite city.

Vicky was very knowledgeable and a great tour guided of the Acropolis.

Great food on the boat and a great crew

A beautiful hotel with friendly staff. The building is over 500 years old which makes it even more amazing and beautiful. This hotel has an amazing location and views. Located in the port and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the beach. They also have a restaurant and bar with a complimentary breakfast. We had a balcony where we could sit and relax with a view of the lighthouse. It was amazing!

Stayed here one night just to sleep. The hotel was beautiful, modern, and clean. Oddly located on a side street that gets busy but we didn't stay in the hotel except to sleep and it was conveniently located to tons of shops and restaurants. Beautiful area to walk about and sightsee.

This hotel and the location are breathtaking! The views from the hotel were beautiful! The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with so many options. So many walking trails and things to do in the area.

Beautiful hotel and centrally located to many restaurants and beaches. I was impressed with the size of our room and the amenities. The hotel was beautiful.

I am not a city person and this hotel is located within the city. That being said if you stay in Athens then you need to stay at this hotel! They have a restaurant on their rooftop with the perfect view of the Acropolis. Extremely beautiful! Plus the food was delicious. The rooms were cleaned and maintained, and they had a jacuzzi bathtub. Being in the city it was quiet at night within our room.

It was so nice to tour Chania Old Town with a local who does tours. It was great to hear the history and be taken to historical locations. The food and wine tasting at the end was a nice way to try local food and dishes. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

The tour was very informative and insightful. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and you could feel her passion. Learned so much and we we enjoyed the beauty and knowledge we gained.

We enjoyed this tour and we were able to choose the locations we wanted to see. The best part was talking with the tour guide and learning about the culture. All the locations were beautiful. We visited a monastery, and winery, and walked through a local town. Very beautiful and informative experience.

If you visit Santorini this is a must-do! We had so much fun! The staff on the boat were all amazing, kind, and fun! It was a small group of people so we all chatted, got to know each other, and enjoyed the beautiful cruise. We swam in the ocean, saw the beautiful beaches, swam in the hot springs, had a delicious meal, and watched the sunset. They also showed us many historical sights. This cruise was one of my favorite excursions on our vacation.

I am so happy we did this walking tour otherwise my husband and I would have been walking in circles around Mykonos. The tour took us to all the spots to get beautiful photos and avoid the crowds. Learned about the history and how Mykonos became known for being a party location. The city is beautiful with all the shops and painted walkways and homes.

So glad we did this tour because there is so much you can miss out on with the history of the Acropolis. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate and taught us so much. The Acropolis is absolutely beautiful and a must-visit. We are happy we had a tour of the museum as well because there is such an extensive amount of history to learn.

We were happy we had a free day in Chania so we could explore the city and recover from a long day of travel. The city is beautiful and lovely to spend time walking around and exploring. There is so much to see. You could sit for hours just watching the water. Beautiful city and our favorite location we visited in Greece.

Perfect location for the Acropolis and downtown Athens. Staff was amazing.. in particular, Aphrodite.

Right next to the beach.. amenities and views were superior. Staff was amazing!! So attentive and had the pool to ourselves most days and drinks from the bar while we enjoyed it.

Of the five hotels we stayed at in Greece this topped them all. The city of Chania is a gem! Wished we’d had a few more days here :-)

What can you say! The views were superior. Best place on Santorini to watch the sunset!

A gem in the middle of an authentic Cretan village. Only a handful of rooms.. each beautiful, clean and very well maintained.

Alex was amazing! Would encourage anyone going to the Acropolis to ask for him. Cannot compare to the large group tours we observed there. He was our personal guide and knew more about U.S. history than us!! Amazing young man and person.

George is a gem! After 5 hours together we were ready to adopt him as an honorary son! He took us on a hiking tour of multiple villages and was so informative and interesting.. so appreciated

Katerina and her mother Maria were fantastic. Special time learning various Greek dishes.. look forward to replicating with family! Her house was so inviting.

The location of this hotel was perfect. We were right downtown and could walk to all the main attractions. The breakfast spread was amazing, especially the bread.

The location and view of this hotel were exceptional! While the breakfast was slightly lacking compared to our other accommodations, the overall experience was not hindered!

This hotel was in a quieter location in Imerovigli, which we appreciated. We enjoyed the sunset from here more than in Oia. The breakfast was delivered to our room, which was a nice touch. However, the location is not as convenient for shops and restaurants if other travelers are looking for that.

Unfortunately, this activity was canceled due to high winds. Initially, I was disappointed, but our specialist had warned us about this possibility and we had a backup plan. We ended up exploring Naxos, which was still an amazing experience.

This was a highlight of the trip for me. We cooked with a local couple in their home, which was a wonderful, authentic experience. We made delicious food using ingredients from their garden. The couple didn't speak English but our guide did a great job translating for us.

This was a good experience, although it felt a bit rushed. The winery was beautiful and we tasted three different wines. We also had a quick tour of the facility. I wish we could have stayed a bit longer to really enjoy the setting.

The hike was beautiful with stunning views. Our guide was great, but as my husband and I have experienced hikers, we could have done it without a guide. However, the guide did provide some interesting information about the island.

This was an amazing experience. The catamaran wasn't overly crowded, so we had plenty of space. We made multiple stops and had a full meal prepared on the grill, and the sunset was absolutely stunning.

Rarely have I found a person with such a passion for what they do. Leonidas loves the flavors and ingredients of Greece and by the end of this masterclass, so did I. What took the experience to the next level was the amazing view of the mountains and sea you have while tasting some of Greece’s most unique flavors.

This restaurant has some of the freshest and most unique seafood I’ve ever had. The owner clearly loves sharing each morning’s catch with his guests. On top of that, the view of the small island with the church of St Nicolas is charming. The owner even took me to the island in his fishing boat which was way beyond what I’d expected and was a highlight of the trip.

The hotel is very charming and the staff were absolutely wonderful! Incredible breakfast, healthy options and delicious homemade pastries. The only thing lacking was storage space for our clothes. There was a rod with some hangers and one small drawer, but for two adults traveling for two weeks in Greece, we would have liked more storage.

A quiet and beautiful escape, away from the hustle and bustle of Naxos town, and steps away from Plaka beach, which was also quiet and peaceful. So easy to get to town with the local bus or a cab if you prefer. Absolutely incredible breakfast each day! Naxos Island escape is clearly a labor of love for Marios, who was always available and who helped us with many logistics during our stay. Highly recommend!

Staff were extremely accommodating, warm and kind. All rooms face the ocean and have a view to Chania old town, which is only a 20 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are modern and well-equipped, incredibly comfortable bed and linens. Breakfast was excellent with different choices every day, and different varieties of fresh fruit juices.

VERY basic hotel in a fun neighborhood outside of Athens.

Wonderful tour guides, Alex (Temple of Zeus) and Maria (Acropolis)!

Loved wandering and eating amazing food wherever we went.

This review is solely based on our trip to Delphi, since sadly we were not able to visit Meteora because of the floods. We will definitely have to return - we were so looking forward to Meteora, but peoples' safety is most important! Delphi was incredible and highly recommend. We drove up there ourselves, which we loved. Seeing the incredible mountains makes you understand how the ancient Greeks believed in the Gods. It felt like they were still there. We had a wonderful tour guide, who also recommended a restaurant to eat lunch in Delphi, which was delicious! (Pictures of the mountains don't do justice.)

We had two free days in Naxos because sadly our all day sailing cruise was cancelled because of high winds. We rented a car and drove up into the mountains, which was absolutely incredible.

Beautiful island. Wonderful people. Incredible food.

So much fun. A small group tour into the white mountains of Crete. Incredibly beautiful. Wonderful tour guide (and driver) Yannis, who knows so much about Cretan history and clearly loves his home. Incredible cooking lesson using the freshest of ingredients taught by a lovely woman (whose name I sadly can't remember but she was amazing), and hosted also by her son.

Could not believe our eyes when we walked into our room… Stunning! Exquisite artwork, marble everywhere, fabulous views of the Aegean, private patio, what more could you ask for!

A lovely, smaller resort outside of town, perfect for our stay. Located on the water, remote for privacy, just perfect for what we were doing!

Maria and her staff have created the most wonderful accommodations with the best views of the caldera ever! Absolutely stunning, on every detail, every piece of furniture, every amenity that was provided!

This was a fantastic experience! Our guide was so knowledgeable - it really enhanced our visit to the Acropolis. She gave us all the historic details and made the ancient ruins come alive. We really enjoyed this tour!

Our guide, Tom, was exceptional! He made extra stops for us, bought us beach towels when we didn't have any, and even took us for private swims. He really went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful day trip to Delphi. The swimming and lunch in Galaxidi was a real treat!

Antonio, our guide, made this tour in Medieval Ano Syros a memorable one. His insights into the history and culture of the place were really engaging. We enjoyed the private nature of the tour as it allowed for a more intimate experience

This was a perfect way to see the beautiful island of Santorini. Our driver was waiting for us promptly and showed us all the best spots. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the drive was comfortable. We wouldn't have wanted to explore Santorini any other way.

This was the highlight of our trip. The cruise was intimate with just 15-18 people onboard. We made friends, went snorkeling, and enjoyed fabulous food. The staff on the boat were delightful and made the experience even more enjoyable. The sunset views from the Caldera were something we'll never forget.

Milo’s def felt like we were in a 5 star hotel with the service and the the room/ hotel itself. The location of the hotel was great, very central! We were able to walk to everywhere that we wanted to go. There was an abundance of restaurants and stores all within a short walking distance.

The property is a boutique hotel with a sun deck area and swimming pools with beautiful views that give you that “I’m in Mykonos” feel. Plaits Gialos, one of the best beaches on the island is less than 5 mins away, there are also various restaurants to try along the strip of the beach. Staff was very friendly and pleasant.

We were part of a small group of about 15 total. Our tour guide made the entire time very enjoyable. She spoke very passionately when relaying the myths and was very engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Our last day was the Sunset catamaran cruise, which did not disappoint. The stops were nice and sufficiently timed for quick breaks, meals were catered to preference, staff was friendly. Wonderful way to take in the beautiful views of the Caldera rim ending in Ammoudi Bay.

The hotel was beautiful and the location made it easily walkable to restaurants. The only downfall was that they pushed 2 twin beds together and they split apart multiple times.

Our travel guide did a great job explaining the history. My fiancé is a history lover and had a lot of questions that the guide was more than happy to answer! And he genuinely seemed to really appreciate them, haha. The guide had a great pace and gave us time to walk around after explaining the history for photos.

Our guides, Akis and George, were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly friendly and fun, while remaining professional and gave us all a great experience! I expected the food to be mediocre, but it was actually AMAZING and one of my favorite meals during our entire 9-day Greece trip. The location of the sites were great and they briefly explained the history of the locations, one of which was a place where if you put clay from the rocks on your face…your skin doesn’t age ;) you know I slapped that on, ha! Plus we had plenty of time at each spot and did not feel rushed at all. I will say the water was a bit chilly…but definitely worth while!

Our guide was great! We stopped at 3 different locations and we had plenty of time at each spot. The guide did a great job explaining the history of the volcano as well. The men who worked on the boat, especially the main guy were a hoot and he even helped me with my wound after I tripped on the top of the volcano, ha! I expected the food to be mediocre, but it was absolutely amazing and I even went up for seconds! We apparently went on a very windy day which we didn’t realize because the crew did such a great job, it was only rough for about 20ish minutes and even then it wasn’t bad. The crew did a great job safety wise and even provided us with blankets as it got a bit chilly after the sunset.

Our group did not care for this hotel. No assistance with luggage was offered. Several flights of steps.

Wonderful breakfast, great staff.

I had a wonderful time at Kastro Suites in Santorini. The staff was great, the place was beautiful. The only downside was the many stairs we had to climb with our heavy luggage. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, a stark contrast to our previous accommodation.

Dorina was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting! She also worked with KimKim to solve our ticket issue.

My favorite part of the trip overall! Jeremy was a wonderful host. So personal, as was his son. Being from a farming state (Iowa) this was very interesting to us. Love the lunch on the veranda overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Elias is #1!

This trip was cancelled due to ferry delay

This was a great experience. Despite being a large group tour, we all had fun dancing on the boat.

This hotel is perfectly situated in an area of Athens that's convenient for sight-seeing, shopping and dining. It was well appointed and the service was terrific. Breakfasts were generous and delicious with lots of variety and well-prepared options. Drinks on the outside deck under the stars looking out at the acropolis were the perfect way to end a day. Our room was spotless, spacious and accommodating. I highly recommend the Elia Ermou Athens Hotel.

Nikos was an excellent guide! Appreciated the level of exercise and the amazing sites!

Zakia was an amazing, knowledgeable driver who was open to answering all of our questions. Spent just the right amount of time at each site and guided us to shade when we needed it! The driver was also great.

Agatha! Passion and excitement. Loved this hike and the challenge and Agatha’s love for life made it even better. Good sized group with similar fitness level helped.

Great service, amazing food and good size group for boat size. Once in a lifetime opportunity to swim on the sea and view the island from the sea.

Beautiful winery with friendly service and great food! Appreciated the “private” table.

Great way to see sites we would not have seen otherwise! The monastery was great.

Amazing hike! We love a challenge and this hit the mark. Rocky with a steep, steep decline but the views made it all worthwhile. It was also awesome to end in the village and enjoy lunch and the beach. It was a very long day though and we weren’t aware ahead of time that we would have a long ferry and drive home. Plan for a full day. So glad we did it! We also were prepared with serious hiking shoes which was helpful.
