Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

The hotel as extremely attentive to our needs. Nice pool and workout area, as well and wonderful breakfasts and a pleasant bar. Perfectly located with nice views of the monasteries.

Such a great central location for tourists! The Acropolis was less than a mile away. Room was small but felt like a luxury; in room espresso, replenished daily, with water and turn down chocolates. The front desk immediately had an extension cord available for his c-pap plug ins. The hotel restaurant was excellent; breakfast extensive and quick, the bar on top had an exceptional view, and we enjoyed our best meal in their downstairs restaurant.

Lack of details given to us before "boat" ride made for a bad start. Driver was knowledgeable about area, but the driver of the boat had rudimentary English. Although I had a nice hike on the island if I had known about the jarring boat ride I would have passed on this whole day.

Our knowledgeable guide took us past the LONG ticket line! At many stops along the way she explained what and why we were looking at this or that; so helpful as we passed by Greek ruins. She was ahead of our questions; why is the marble a different color, where did it come from, the Caryatids were Painted? Etc. She told us about care of neighborhood cats, the owl on the Euro. She carried a notebook of pictures to help us understand what it would have looked like. At the Acropolis Museum she explained our way through the displays, the chronology, the work of restoration, the amount of Greek artifacts in other countries. My son enjoyed her talks about the political aspects of the Parthenon.

Awesome view from the room, and breakfast was delivered every morning. Front desk staff were super helpful in arranging a rental car.

Great location—easy walk to everything nearby. Staff were super helpful, and while the rooms are small, they’re cute and really clean.

Arion Athens Hotel is perfectly placed for a proper Athens experience. Set right in the heart of amazing cafés and restaurants, it feels authentically local while still being within easy reach of all the major historic sites. Despite the central location, it’s remarkably peaceful, we woke each morning to birds rather than traffic. Our room had lovely views of the Acropolis and overlooked a charming little church and courtyard, which added to the sense of place. The rollaway twin bed for our son worked perfectly, and breakfast each morning was just right to set us up for a full day of exploring. Comfortable, clean, and attentive. Exactly what you want from a city stay.

Klymeni Traditional Homes in Nafplio is the sort of place you book for a night or two and quietly wish you’d arranged your life around instead. Beautifully done, new, and extremely comfortable, we found ourselves spending most of our time simply relaxing there. The terraces offer stunning views, surrounded by orange trees, and the whole setting is wonderfully peaceful. When motivation strikes, it’s easy to call a taxi into town or have food delivered. The host was extremely helpful and always on hand. We could quite happily have moved in permanently!

Our Ardamis Traditional Guest House in Monemvasia was exactly what we'd hoped for and actually better than we expected. Historically historic, full of character, and set in a genuinely perfect location. The host provided remarkable care and attention, making everything feel effortless, comfortable and personal. Five stars, without hesitation.

The Nafplio eBike Adventure was a brilliant way to explore beyond the town itself. The bikes were excellent, high-quality, all properly sized, with helmets included. We were even picked up and dropped off at our accommodation. The e-bikes made the surrounding hills feel surprisingly effortless, opening up parts of Nafplio we’d never have reached otherwise. We rode to a historic monastery, up to the main fortress overlooking the town, and then down toward the coast, stopping for a thoughtful picnic of homemade food at a small cliffside church. It felt remote, peaceful, and rather special. Hurcules himself made the day. Warm, personable, and generous with his time, he shared stories about the town, his life, and his family that gave us a much deeper sense of place. Along the way, we even stopped to pick and eat fresh oranges straight from the trees. A memorable, beautifully paced day that combined just enough activity with plenty of moments to simply take it all in.

The Private Tour of the Villages of Mani was one of the most relaxed and enjoyable days of the trip. Kostas and Maria made it feel entirely unhurried, shaping the day around us rather than the other way round. We explored Gytheio, the Diros Caves, Areopoli, and finished in the beautiful seaside village of Limeni, each stop offering something different, but all equally memorable. The pace was perfect, giving us time to take it all in without ever feeling rushed. What stood out most was their generosity with time. Like the rest of our Greek experience, it felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with people who genuinely cared that we were enjoying ourselves.

The Private Tour of Monemvasia Castle with Wine Tasting was, without question, the standout of our entire trip. If one day captures our trip for us, it’s this one. Effi met us at the castle gate and guided us all the way to the top, sharing the history as we climbed. As a former archaeologist on the site, her connection to the place was so authentic, you simply couldn't take it from a book. On the way back down, she introduced us to friends who run a small shop along the main street, where we were treated to local wines, olive oil, and delicious food. They were generous, warm, and completely our people. The kind of experience you can’t plan for, but hope to stumble into. A truly special day, and one we’ll be talking about for a long time.

The Private Delphi Day Trip was a highlight of our time in Greece. We were picked up from our hotel and driven through some genuinely stunning scenery, our first real glimpse of the Greek countryside, which set the day off beautifully. Marcos, our driver, shared thoughtful insights into Greek culture and daily life along the way, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination. At Delphi, Theodore brought the site to life with a clear and engaging explanation of its history, all set against those extraordinary views. The day finished with a wonderful meal at a family-run restaurant overlooking the mountains and olive groves, simple, authentic, and exactly what we'd hoped for. Seamlessly organised, truly memorable, and a perfect intro to Greece beyond Athens.

The Ancient Athens Acropolis & Mythology Walk was a great way to experience the essentials. We joined a small English-speaking group and covered both the Acropolis and the lower town, which made for a well-paced introduction. Athena, our guide, was excellent, bringing the stories and myths to life in a way that kept everything engaging and memorable. The tour leaned more toward mythology than architecture, which worked well for the group, though I’d have personally enjoyed a bit more detail on construction and design. That said, it likely struck the right balance overall.

Modern. Great location. Good breakfast. A gym would have been nice

Nice room. Terrible wifi. No view. Good location for walking to waterfront, museum and restaurants.

great location and view

beautiful spacious buildings and location (near mountains and ruins). Not great if you want urban setting

Breakfast was quite good but this was the smallest hotel room we have ever stayed in.

This would have been much better as a private tour, given that we had an incredibly self centered woman in our group who wouldn't stop talking. The guide was good but the woman wore him down and he didn't get many chances to speak. Too much driving and not enough walking.

Great food and guide

Interesting site, but it was really the museum (which wasn't on our itinerary ) that had the most interesting artifacts to see

Nice hiking trails and location.

Interesting young guide who taught us everything we wanted to know about olives. Really nice lunch too

Highlight of the trip. A nice 12km walk. Very interesting monastery and location.

The ride was a bit short but at least we had a couple hikes to interesting locations added in.

Corinth museum and ruins were closed. Driver was great. Canal was interesting to see

Driver was great. Guide was pedantic and uninspiring but knowledgeable.

very good guide. Acropolis was very busy especially considering the time of year.

Fantastic service and nice accommodations. The breakfast buffet was amazing, really amazing. And it started at 7:00 AM so one can get an early start on the day's adventures.

This place is beautiful and the guest services are exceptional. It is about a 20 minute walk into the old town, but most of it is along the shore so not unpleasant and not difficult. The food was very good, my only comment is that I prefer a breakfast buffet rather than an ala carte service. But having said that, what they did offer was very good.

Great location and friendly staff

Very Nice

Could have stayed here for the rest of my life and been happy!

Amazing location with great staff!

Another great boat day and a perfect way to end the trip. We once again had the boat to ourselves and a great crew to make us feel special.

A lot of work, but some of the most amazing views Ive ever seen! Drive back down was very windy, so if you get carsick just be prepared.

Made to felt like part of the family and had some truly amazing food made by us!

Best food of the trip! The culture we saw was amazing as well. Each island truly has its own history.

So great! We had the boat to ourselves and the captain truly made us feel special. Much better than the crowded catamarans we saw around. We were able to go place to place much faster.

Very nice. Would like to have had a little more time to hangout, but amazing nontheless.

Delicious! Felt like a local!

Very fun and interesting.

Excellent breakfast, centrally located, perfect home-base for a few days in Athens!

LOVED this hotel. Views were incredible. Make sure to use the bug deterrent thing on the wall, though, if you're going to keep your windows open!

Great tour, considering how crowded this area of Athens is! Very informative, great guide, good equipment so we could hear.

I thought this was a good tour. However, such a large group was a bit trickier to navigate. And Naxos is so small that we ended up visiting several places that I had already visited in my first day of sightseeing the area.

Fotis was a lovely guide, we learned a lot about local food and liquors - such a fun start to our Athens visit!

Great tour - Maria was a lovely guide! I was a little bummed that our itinerary had initially included Oja but then the tour didn't go there - but regardless, we still had a fantastic time on this tour! Highly recommend.

Tour guide was wonderful - love how the tour was so individualized and took us to lots of unique locations all across Tinos. One of my favorite parts of our Greece trip.

The suite comfortably accomodated our five member family without the teenagers stepping on each other. The reception staff were extremely kind, friendly and helpfull with dining suggestions, taxis and such. Would certainly recommend Athens Ikon Hotel.

Best breakfast that I've ever experienced anywhere in the world. Simply amazing.

Kostas Poulopoulos was our bike guide. He was witty, friendly and patient with our family. The e-bike tour was an excellent way to start our stay in Athens. Kostas and the tour gave us our bearings in city we had never visted before. Would highly recommend Athens by Bike.

Knossos Palace and the labyrinth were a great destination. Our guide was very knowlegable and patient with our questions. The weather was subprub for the season. Tempurature was in mid-50'sF and sunny every day!

This was a great experience. We learned a lot about the history. The tour was the perfect amount of time not too long, not too short.

The experience was incredible! Starting with picking the vegetables in the garden to cutting them and making our own Greek salad. The food was absolutely exceptional!

The location was great. We loved being tucked away in the old port. The staff was helpful and friendly and the breakfast was really good.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The view from our balcony was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious.

The front desk was so welcoming and friendly and the location is perfect for exploring around Acropolis. The rooftop breakfast was amazing.

Olga was the best! We were exhausted as it was our last day on the trip but she kept the conversation going and played good music. The palace and museum were both very interesting.

Very interesting and we loved the stops for coffee and food and cheese! Yohan was a great guide and very knowledgeable and friendly. We were stuffed by the end of the day, but all of the food was so good.

Petra was the best! We loved this hike. Probably our favorite activity of the trip. Beautiful views and we loved his conversation and stories. Wonderful day!

The staff on the boat was friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious. Great views!

Very interesting! Our guide was really knowledgeable and sweet.

Everything was so close to the hotel! We walked to so many things from the hotel! Amazing shopping and cafes and restaurants! As well as walking distance to many sites.

Exceptional stay! Really feels like a home away from home! The breakfast they put out is chef’s kiss! I mean it was DELICIOUS!

This is a long day and although we got less than perfect weather, the sights are breathtaking even though we didn’t get the amazing sunset.

One of the best experiences of my adult life! I learned so much and the food was amazing!!! Came home of many tips and tricks to make my cooking next level!

So much fun! Some of the best foods of the city! Wish we would have done the tour on the first day instead of the last!

So much to see!!! Very well put together tour!

Can’t even put into words how amazing the tour was!

This hotel was amazing! It was modern, with glimpses of the past just outside the windows. I especially enjoyed quiet time on the spacious balcony.

This hotel was absolutely beautiful and the views from our balcony were lovely. The room was very modern and spacious. The in-room jacuzzi was amazing! The host was very friendly and helpful.

This hotel offered a picture postcard view from the private balcony. The room itself was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was beautiful and spacious, if lacking in hooks for towels, robes, etc.

Loved the hotel and the location. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

Unfortunately, it rained and the e-bike tour was cancelled.

This was a very enjoyable group tour. The guide was very personable, open and honest. We enjoyed our excursion immensely.

Our tour guide was absolutely fabulous. Her wealth of knowledge and passion for Athens and the Acropolis made the experience so enjoyable. She was extremely personable and easy to relate to. I have so much admiration and praise for her.
