Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Great location of hotel and a nice Greek breakfast option in the morning. Unfortunately the elevator wasn't working so we had to carry our luggage up 8 floors but the staff was apologetic and very kind to us during our stay.

Amazing views and the rooms were unique and different from each other. Very kind staff for breakfast and centrally located to be able to walk to many restaurants and a 25 minute ride to each tip of the island.

Demetrious was an awesome guide---very knowledgeable and enjoyed his passion of his city.

Enjoyable visit through the southern part of the island. Knowledgeable guide about wine and long history of the area.

Enjoyable way to see the island from the water. Able to jump off and snorkle a little but the water was pretty cold.

Great location, very clean, good breakfast.

Don't offer this to clients. More than 20 guests despite being a small group tour (supposed to be less than 20 guests). Staff are rude. Very strict rules once onboard. No getting onto the boat wet after swimming, can't wear sunscreen, can't use the onboard bathrooms, can't have a towel, can't sit down inside the covered areas of boat, BBQ food was dry & overcooked. Stopped at swimming areas for very very short amount of time so there wasn't enough time for all on board to get in and out again.

Amazing location. Pool was heated but it was very hot out & staff turned heating off at our request which made the pool water very refreshing. Breakfast was delicious and varied a bit each day. Lots of room amenities.

It was quite a drive just to see sunset but it was a neat experience. We learned a lot from our guide about Greek life during the drive.

Amazing beach! Crystal clear water! We loved the beaches in Ios more than anywhere else we’ve EVER been.

Staff were rude. So many rules and restrictions. Don’t go here, don’t sit there, don’t get the boat wet (?), seriously? It’s a boat!!! One staff said go ahead & jump on water, next staff said absolutely no jumping in, use the one ladder for all the ppl. Very short time spent at swimming places. Hot springs (?) were just rocks in the ocean. Not warm at all, just regular ocean. Meant to be a small group of 20 ppl max but there were 28 ppl. Shortage of towels & snorkeling gear. Lunch was dry & overcooked. I would suggest chartering private instead of joining a group.

We booked to ride at sunset, if we hadn’t confirmed it would be a sunset ride on the day I believe we would’ve finished before sunset. Ensure you are adament about sunset if that’s what you want. Our ride & guides were awesome!!!!

Our host was so kind. She was so very helpful in recommendations and was super sweet. The hotel was adorable and had such a cool boutique charm!!

Beautiful location!!!!

The breakfast at this hotel was AMAZING! We also loved our couples massage and amazing view where you can watch the sunset right from your room.

This was one of our favorite activities we did. The boat was so fun and the staff was amazing. Milos beaches are so stunning!

Michael was amazing! So personable and knowledgable. We fell in love with Milos and all of its charm. Thank you, Michael, for sharing your home with us.

Beautiful hotel, spacious rooms, great common areas to sit in/read/enjoy a glass of wine, an outstanding breakfast buffet, and a great pool.

Though it is in a nice location, the hotel is tiny, with most rooms that overlook a wall. The manager is unfriendly, crochety, and completely arrogant. He put our kids in a smoking room, claimed he was sold out and couldn't switch them until we complained to our travel agent, refused to fix the broken TV & A/C in our room and instead accused my husband of breaking it. The balconies in two of our rooms were so small that all we could do is put our clothes out there to dry; there was little room for two people to sit and enjoy sunrise or sunset. The breakfast buffet looked really nice, but most of the breads and dry foods were stale because they put them away in a nearby cabinet, then take them out every morning.

Because Santorini is so beautiful, no hotel can go wrong. But the rooms in this hotel were SO small that I couldn't stand up straight in the bedroom, and I'm only 5'4. The bathroom was so tiny I had to bend my head when entering and walk sideways. The balconies were nice but shared with so many rooms there was no privacy; one evening, the 20-year old boys staying in the room next door stayed up out on the balcony smoking and playing music and talking till 3:00 a.m., and they were so close we couldn't drown out the noise. The bar was not stocked with anything -- just empty liquor bottles -- and the bartender couldn't make anything except open some beer or wine. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was nice, but we spent no time in the rooms because they were so small and uncomfortable!

The entrance to the hotel is dingy, there's a tiny elevator that can barely fit two people and one suitcase, and the rooms are built sideways -- long but not wide enough. Two people cannot walk around at a time. There is no view from the balcony except into a much nicer hotel with amazing landscaping and a beautiful rooftop restaurant. The furniture is arranged in such a way that you cannot fit your suitcases. The breakfast area is dark and tiny, with only one table under a skylight that's worth eating at but that is always taken. WOULD NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN!

The view/sunset was great, dinner was good, and snorkeling was enjoyable. But the cruise started off an hour and a half late, there were no snacks, there was only cheap wine and beer to drink instead of a full bar, and docking was 4 hours later than promised, making for a tiring day spent waiting and waiting and waiting and getting an OK experience. Also, the staff were not nice -- very busy and stressed.

The location of this hotel was extremely challenging. If you have any mobility challenges, it is a non-starter. Cobblestones, stairs, a hill, and no elevator inside. Nothing wrong with the hotel once you get to it

Amazing apartments, perfect for our family of 5. The rooftop view of the Acropolis is truly awesome. We really appreciated the breakfast food in the apartment, the cleanliness and ideal location of these apartments, highly recommended!!

We really appreciated the friendly and helpful staff at this hotel who went out of their way to guide us. The breakfast was the best we experienced in Greece. The hot tubs and lovely infinity pool were a highlight also!

A family-owned hotel. The owner is very helpful, accommodations are clean. Beautiful ocean view with hot tubs for upper rooms. Only approx. 15 minute walk to Oia.

Excellent central location in Heraklion!!

Family-friendly hotel in the heart of Chania, close to port, local restaurants and shops. Delicious breakfast.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced!!

Experienced guides who ensured safe and enjoyable experience for all. Really enjoyed access to the sea caves and thermal waters!!!

Our guide Nikos was outstanding. He went out of his way to understand our particular family input and goals and we experienced an amazing day with visit to Elafonisi beach, local Roman ruins and view of peninsula. We also enjoyed a delicious local Cretan meal together. Would highly recommend this tour with Nikos!!

it was just ok! Didn’t love the staff or the beach there

stunning and staff was so friendly

pretty and friendly staff and centrally located

had a problem with ac but was rectified quickly and efficiently

guide was amazing and so knowledgeable

this was a tour with just our family given by a mother and son. Their Grandmother made us a delicious spread of homemade authentic greek cuisine

itinerary promised red beach and white beach and hot springs. We didn’t actually get to go to those locations we anchored near them and swam for 20 mins near them but not on them. Itinerary also states that towels are provided and are not. Hot springs are in fact NOT hot. They were not organized at end of sea portion and were not told where we needed to go for second half of excursion. The land portion was nice and the tour guide and driver were the sweetest guys.

Wine with Eleni was a perfect way to be introduced to different Greek wines. She had so much knowledge that she shared with us. We also really enjoyed that it was a place were locals in Athens gathered with friends.

We had no idea Tinos had so many beautiful villages. With this tour, you also get to see a lot of the island which definitely would not have seen on our own. Sofia was so knowledgable and kind. We had the best time with her!

We loved the variety of food that we got to taste on this tour. It was really great that every place had plates ready for us to try. Sofia was again so knowledgable and helpful to have on this tour with us. We were happy and full by the end of the tour!

We loved that this included a tour of the village that the winery was located in. We wouldn't have explored it ourselves, and our local guide, Anna, was so knowledgeable and kind. Being able to visit a farm was such a unique experience. Getting to hear about a local production was special. The food we cooked together was amazing!

Staff was very welcoming. We rented the family apartment and it was spacious with a wonderful balcony. The kitchen was fully stocked and the bathrooms were beautiful. Our favorite is the roof top bar - such an amazing view. A few little things for improvement: There was only one key and when we asked for two they were unable to give us another one. That meant that when our group split up we had to coordinate access to the apartment. Also the lights in the hall and stairway were out the time we were there and it was very dark. The apartment also smelled of cigarette smoke. Finally - we ordered vegetarian to go lunches. We confirmed that they were vegetarian. They were not vegetarian.

The rooms were a little smaller than we had anticipated (three of our children shared a room that was pretty tight). However, everything else about this hotel was excellent. Wonderful location, beautiful pool, very plentiful breakfast. The rooms were clean and the showers were modern. The best part of the stay was the staff. They were very helpful. On our last day as we headed out to the beach they let us know that the tour guide had not booked that night. There was a mix up and we didn't have rooms for the last night. However, they quickly tried to resolve the issue and found a room at a nearby hotel for half of our party and the other half was able to stay in their room. We really appreciated their help and the guidance they gave us about seeing different beaches on the island.

We had a great driver who gave us lots of background information on the countryside. Our cooking class with Katrina and Maria was wonderful. Not too rushed, but we did quite a bit. We all really enjoyed the food and our instructors made the class interesting to all of us (adults and kids). It felt like visiting with old friends when we sat around and ate lunch. Highly recommend this class to anyone!

Georgina was the best! Out of an entire week in Greece - this was one of our favorite activities. Georgina was very knowledgeable, adapted to our questions and interests, and had a wonderful way of sharing information. We covered so much of the old part of the city and learned so much.

This ended up being a really nice tour. However, the tour we thought we were getting (which focused more on mythology) was not the one the tour guide thought she was giving. The tour that was planned was a little more for younger children and less focused on the mythology of the island - which we were really interested in. That being said, once we realized the disconnect, our guide was super accommodating and made arrangements to visit at least one temple (the one we really wanted to see). She was luckily a licensed guide and she was very knowledgeable. We were so luck to have had her. We visited a farm/petting zoo. We probably could have shortened that part - but the kids had fun and the Owner was hilarious. He had such a welcoming manner and he and his pet sheep were very entertaining. Our lunch was delicious - perhaps one of the best of the trip.

It’s a bit difficult to find, but it’s very clean and the staff is very friendly.

The room with the loft where we stayed was a bit deceiving. You could not even stand up straight in the loft nor the bathroom that is up there. I would not recommend this unit for 4 adults, but if traveling with younger kids it should work ok. The main bathroom with the shower is tiny. For women who shave their legs, good luck doing that in this shower. The staff is awesome, which helps to make up for some of these downsides.

Definitely off the beaten path and just outside a cute village. It is worth it though. The view is incredible and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

This hotel advertised they have staff to assist with the luggage until 18:30, which was not true in our case. After a full day traveling, we had to carry our baggage up a steep flight of stairs just to get to the lobby level/registration. It would have been helpful to know that ahead of time. The rooms were very nice, clean and modern. And this was the first hotel that provided washcloths - which may seem like a small thing, but to those of us used to using washcloths daily, it was a huge bonus. The location was great and very convenient to many restaurants and shopping and the port.

Our guide made this what we wanted. We were able to modify our stops according to what we had already experienced. She was able to adjust our agenda on the fly. This one did not disappoint.

Our guide made this trip awesome. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and prepared. She made this trip very worthwhile and educational.

You have to go to Hydra! It is such a quaint island. No cars!! Lots of stairs, so be prepared. Well worth it to carve out time. If the weather (including the wind) conditions do not cooperate, you will not be able to go to the beach. This was our experience, however our guide more than made up for it with stops at some of the local establishments that he was familiar with.

The crew makes this an awesome excursion! Kayaking is fun, no doubt, but with their energy, positive attitudes and stories/ details - it was even better! Highly recommend!!

This could be an alternative excursion to the sunset kayak tour. The staff was nice and the food was good. It was great to interact with other travelers from all over the world too. Great excursion

If you are considering this be prepared for a 30 minute hike (and I mean hike) down to the beach. There are limited beach umbrellas, so you might want to bring your own. And then you have to hike out after soaking up some sun. OR your guide can take you to the 7minute hike spot for pictures and then drive you to another beach that have food/drink/restrooms close by plus MANY umbrellas and cabanas to rent. That’s what we opted for - now keep in mind this was towards the end of our trip, so we were getting a little worn out 😊 But this was beautiful and a very relaxing experience for us. Our guide provided food and water for us, so we didn’t have to worry about that either. Highly recommend and you might consider the alternative path that we took!

This was our favorite hotel. LOVED it. Clean, roomy, management was friendly, and close to the beach and downtown.

We enjoyed the entire afternoon!

Fun day. Not everyone went but those of us that did had a great time.

Last stop was the best. Could have eliminated the first stop. Too much wine for one afternoon.

This was a wonderful dinner. Quite the surprise and everything was Great!

She was our favorite guide. Friendly, funny, spoke English well, and very informative.

Best and favorite activity!! 5 stars
