Anna Nikitopoulou

I’m a travel specialist focused on Greece and the Mediterranean, and I love crafting trips that feel personal, effortless, and truly unique. Greece, especially, feels like a place where the past and present live side by side: ancient ruins tucked into modern neighborhoods, family-run tavernas serving recipes passed down for generations, and islands where the sea seems to change color by the hour.

I create custom itineraries that balance the must-see highlights with authentic local moments. Whether you’re dreaming of a honeymoon, a family trip, a cultural deep dive, or a relaxed island escape, I’ll handle the details so your journey feels smooth, personal, and unforgettable: Mediterranean in the best possible way.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I plan custom journeys that help people fall in love with Greece the way I have: Through the mix of history, food, everyday life, and the sea. My work is rooted in places I know deeply, like Athens, the Peloponnese, and the mainland, and I’m always happy to add the right islands to match your pace and travel style. If you’re combining countries, I also curate Mediterranean routes that connect naturally, including Italy.

What I enjoy most is shaping trips around moments that feel real: a private walk through ancient sites that actually tells a story, a morning at a local market followed by a hands-on cooking class, a long lunch in a family-run taverna where you don’t even look at the time, and a swim in clear, quiet water away from the crowds. I’m drawn to destinations with character—villages, small towns, and coastal corners where you can feel the rhythm of local life."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I grew up between two cultures and started traveling very young, which sparked my love for exploring new places.

Over time, that passion turned into something I wanted to share with others. Now I get to do what I’ve always loved: designing thoughtful, personal itineraries and helping travelers feel confident and excited from the very first idea to the moment they arrive. There’s nothing better than knowing you helped someone experience a place in a way that feels effortless, meaningful, and truly theirs."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One travel experience I’ll never forget was a two-week journey through the Peloponnese, where I got to see Greece in its most authentic, lived-in way. I spent my days moving through small villages that still feel beautifully untouched—slow mornings in quiet squares, conversations with locals who treated everyone like family, and the kind of traditions you don’t “visit,” you’re simply invited into.

What stayed with me most was how effortlessly everything connected: long, delicious meals made with recipes that have been passed down for generations, simple moments that turned into the highlights of the day, and that feeling of being completely present. And then, down in the southern Peloponnese, the landscape opened up into the most stunning turquoise water—wild, crystal-clear, and somehow still under the radar compared to the islands.

It reminded me that the most meaningful travel isn’t always about famous landmarks. Sometimes it’s about a place’s rhythm, its people, and the quiet magic you only find when you slow down enough to really be there."

For those of you who simply want the readers digest version of this Review... Best trip ever and don't go anywhere else! Being retired Navy and traveled the world, I wasn't too concerned with planning my trip. However with this being my Wife's first time overseas I wasn't taking any chances. Having done research regarding KimKim company I decided to give them a shot. From the very beginning "ANNA" was Phenomenal!!! I provided her with my wants and time frame and she made it all happen... And then SOME!! As for my trip details.. Flew into Athens Greece and was greeted by our "Driver". No, wasn't picked up in a YUGO but a clean Merc. Benz. Driver was very informative and respectful. First hotel was in the heart of Athens which proved to be wonderful. My wife and I were able to walk to all the sights to include the trip ANNA planned out for us. Two days in ATHENS then of to NAXOS Island. Flew there and again picked up by our "Driver". First Class as it was everytime we were picked up. Again, walking distance to the marina where all the fun happens. Took a ferry to Paros Island and took in the sights there as well. Took an Awesome Ferry from Naxo to Athens and flew home. Trip was 8 days and perfect. ANNA maintained contact with us throughout our trip and ensured we had no needs or issues. She was even available on the weekend and ensured we made it home safely. Truly went out or her way to ensure we had the best trip ever. She also plans trips to Italy so.. Anna will be recieving a call soon! Can't say enough about all the places we stayed and friendly service by all the staff!! Again, Anna Killed it and can't say enough about her and the company!! Don't waste another minute kicking idea's or other companies around. KIMKIM is the way to go!!! Thanks ANNA for all you have done! Mike

Anna did a phenomenal job coordinating our last-minute trip to Greece. She built us a custom itinerary based on our travel style and thoughtfully positioned our hotels in spots that optimized our trip.

Along the way we had some exceptional tour guides - notably Grigori in Heraklion on the private Minoan Tour of Knossos & Archaeological Museum tour, Christina in Athens on the small group Acropolis & Old Athens walking tour, and Vasiis in Santorini on the private Traditional Villages tour. Something to note with morning tours, in Greece hotel breakfasts are served later than in the USA so have an alternate plan for breakfast if you venture out before 8:30 AM. Our hotel in Crete did offer an early continental breakfast if coordinated the day before which was really helpful.

We had a great experience with kimkim and will definitely consider using them for future trips.

It’s also lovely to hear that Grigori, Christina, and Vasiis made such a strong impression. I’ll be very happy to pass your kind words along to them.

It was a pleasure planning your trip, and I’m so glad you had such a positive experience with us. I would be delighted to help again whenever your next journey begins!

We had a wonderful two-week trip through Greece with my two boys, combining Athens, Delphi, Olympia, the Peloponnese, Costa Navarino, Nafplio and Mycenae. Overall, the itinerary was very well designed: it gave the children a real sense of Greek history while leaving enough time for swimming, boating and simply enjoying the country.

Some of the highlights were the guided visits to Delphi, Olympia and Mycenae, as well as our day on the water with Andrea / Mani. Guides in Delphi and Olympia were amazing. From our discussion and written descriptions, it seemed that it’d be more interactive / digital but in practice none of this - that being said worked really well with paper bc my kids are used to this but for other families that could be a surprise. Costa Navarino was also a great choice with children and gave us a very welcome few days to slow down after the more active part of the trip. But some recommendations & conditioning could have been done. The balance between cultural visits and downtime worked particularly well for a family trip.

Anna was very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process and while we were in Greece. She was also flexible when we wanted to adjust a visit on our last day.

Where the experience was less strong was in the overall value added by booking through Kimkim. For a fairly high-end trip, I still found myself managing or researching quite a few details during the vacation — restaurants, activities, some logistics and what to do in our free time. A few more tailored recommendations and arrangements could also have been more proactive or more carefully tailored to traveling with two young children. At times, it felt more like a collection of well-booked components than a fully curated trip where everything had been anticipated for us. A good example are the stops on the road which felt generic to anyone vs to us. So, magnitude of markup from Kimkim I don’t think is justified and for this reason I’m not sure I’d book again with kimkim.

That said, the core itinerary was excellent, the local guides and experiences were very good, and most importantly my boys and I came home having had a fantastic and very memorable trip to Greece.

Dear Emmanuel,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback. I am truly happy to hear that you and your boys had a wonderful journey through Greece and that the itinerary offered the right balance between discovering the country’s incredible history, enjoying meaningful experiences, and having time to swim, relax, and simply enjoy being together as a family.

It was wonderful to hear that Delphi, Olympia, Mycenae, your time in Mani, and Costa Navarino became some of the highlights of your trip. Creating a journey where children can connect with Greece’s history while also experiencing the beauty and lifestyle of the country is always something we aim for.

I also truly appreciate your honest comments regarding the level of personalization, family-focused recommendations, and proactive guidance throughout the journey. Your feedback is very valuable, and we will continue working on how we can better anticipate our travelers’ needs and provide even more tailored suggestions, especially for families looking for a seamless and fully curated experience.

Thank you as well for your kind words about my support during the planning process and while you were in Greece. It was a pleasure assisting you and your family, including adjusting the arrangements when needed, and I am delighted that you returned home with such wonderful memories of Greece.

Thank you again for your trust and for sharing your suggestions with us. We truly appreciate it and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Greece in the future.

Warm regards,
