Eirini Tzoka

My name is Eirini, I am a travel specialist and I was born and raised in Athens. My family originated from Northwestern Greece, and it was this area's raw beauty and long-standing heritage that got me interested in culture and nature. I aim to give you a sense of what Greece has to offer; an opportunity to learn about its rich history and culture, enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, and bring unforgettable memories back home!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in Athens, Peloponnese, the Greek mainland, and the Greek islands. Let me take you on exclusive food tours and wine tastings, connect you with leading archaeologists to get a deeper understanding of our rich history, and explore off-the-beaten-track natural parts of Greece."

How did you get involved in travel?

"It's about who you are and where you came from to get to where you are today. My studies in Social & Cultural Anthropology played a vital role in my view of traveling and experiencing the unknown. I have always wanted to be "a new pair of glasses" for someone exploring my country and help them as a local friend."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I consider every trip unique and unforgettable. However, Crete will always hold a special place in my heart and especially.. in my stomach. Cretan cuisine is an unforgettable experience in itself and along with the remnants of its glorious civilizations, its impressive mountainous landscapes and gorges, as well as its wonderful picturesque beaches, make Crete for me a heaven on earth!"

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see, making it easy to explore the area on foot. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The breakfast each morning was delicious with a great variety of options, and it was the perfect way to start our day. The hotel was also exceptionally clean, and our room was comfortable and well maintained throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Eirini and her team did an amazing job planning our trip to Greece. The hotels in all of our locations were very nice. The rooms were great and the locations were outstanding with easy access to everything we wanted to see. Our hotel in Santorini (Ilioperato) was in a great location with "postcard" views of the Caldera from our front porch. We loved that it was in quiet location away from the tourist crowds, but still close to great shopping and restaurants. Our hotel in Heraklion (Dimargio) was a hidden gem. We were surprised how new and modern it was, yet still in the heart of the city near all of the attractions and restaurants. Also, our drivers were great, especially Costantinos in Athens. Also, a special shout out to George (think that was his name) in Santorini who picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the port. Both of the gentlemen we so nice and informative. They felt like old friends after driving us a few times. My wife gave them hugs when we left them the last time! The tours and excursions were also wonderful. Eirini will find something for everyone - food, culture, history and adventure. Loved our farm tour and cooking class in Santorini. Great to see something on the non-Caldera side of the island and learn more about the island. Our host and driver were locals and passionate about life, culture, and the history of Santorini. The Kim Kim App was fantastic and easy to use. It was great having all of our trip details at our fingertips. Eirini was always responsive. We recommend Kim Kim and Eirini if you are traveling to Greece. We will use Kim Kim for our future trips.

Great location and very nice room. The restaurant downstairs is connected to hotel and the food was great. There are some stairs to deal with, but someone from the hotel or restaurant will usually help you with your luggage.

Ilioperato
Santorini

Great location with amazing views. This location does not have as many tourists walking by, which was nice compared to many of the other hotels we saw. Yet, it was still walking distance to the Fira shops and many nice restaurants. Double sized beds, so smaller than what we are used to, but manageable considering we enjoyed breakfast, drinks, and sunset views from our front porch. Amazing! Also, very nice and attentive staff.

Authenticity & Character
What you expect in Santorini -white building on the cliffs of the Caldera. Smaller rooms, but that adds to the charm of the architecture of being in "old" Santorini.
Location
Quiet, but close to everything you want to do and see. Cannot overstate how nice the views are from the seating areas in front of each room.

Very pleased with the newer modern hotel in the heart of the city close to everything you want to see. To hotel, while very new, was designed to look like it was built in ancient Crete, with a courtyard and dining area surrounded by old looking brick walls. Nice bar in the lobby and a great breakfast. Can't imagine there is a nicer hotel in the heart of Heraklion.

Sunset trip to the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion
Athens

Loved our driver. I would recommend this trip be schedule one hour later, or at a time to make sure you are there for sunset. Otherwise, you can see the temple in about 20-30 minutes. It is a long, although beautiful, drive for a short visit. We were there earlier and would have had to wait for over an hour for sunset. However, it was starting to get very busy the closer it got to sunset. We decided to leave and our driver dropped us off at a nice local fish restaurant for dinner. We were the only non-locals at the restaurant, which was fun. It was nice to see some of the area outside of Athens.

Getting to know our great drive Costantinos was the best part of this experience.

Afternoon Acropolis Museum & Acropolis guided tour
Afternoon Acropolis Museum & Acropolis guided tour
Athens

This is a must do if you are visiting Athens. A guide is well worth the expanse. Skip the lines. From what we can tell, it is always busy there, so the guide gets you where you want to go and explains everything. If you can endure the heat, we went very late in the afternoon. When we left, we walked out onto part of Filopappou Hill (I think) and watched the sunset.

Quality of Experience
You are visiting one of the most historical wonders of the world. We happened to visit on July 4th, which was even more fun as we are from the United States. Standing at the center of the birthplace of democracy on our nation's 250th birthday was special.

Santorini

It was nice learning more about the people who live and make a living on Santorini outside of tourism. We learned so much about agriculture and how they grow tomatoes and grapes on a volcanic island. We helped make tomato fritters and enjoyed our meal outside under a big shade tree. Very pleasant.

Quality of Experience
Our host was so passionate about the food they grow and the history of agriculture on the island.
Food
Good fresh food and wine. Just know the meal does not include any chicken, lamb, or protein. Still worth it.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Very good guide who grows the food we ate. Also, took us on a tour of a small nearby village, Megalochori, which we really enjoyed.
Transport
Again, another great local driver who told us so much about the island, history, culture and more. Learn why the church domes may or may not be painted blue.

We started in Athens and stayed in a lovely apartment right near the Acropolis. We had a private guided tour with Elena of the Acropolis and the agora. She really knew the history and the mythology and made it interesting for the entire family. We moved on to naxos and stayed at boutique hotel that was with an easy walking distance of several restaurants and the beach. We had another tour of the village of chilaki, and visited a small farm with a petting zoo that might kids loved. The following day we did a hiking tour of several villages and got to eat more of the local cuisine. Finally we did a full day catamaran tour that included diving off the sailboat and to the Aegean and snorkeling. Finally we visited Santorini with a tour of the island, visiting a monastery a museum about the lost city of Atlantis, and another sailboat excursion. I have already highly recommended Kim Kim and Eirini to several of my friends. I can't wait to visit Greece again. We plan to use Kim Kim again next year when we plan our next trip abroad.

The boat should have life preservers for those who are not good swimmers (like myself) and would like to go into the water. I have never been on a boat that did not have them and was disappointed. Also, about half of the passengers on the boat were vegetarians, yet they did not have any vegetarian burgers or sausages. There are so many choices for them out there. that was a bit disappointing as well.

The driver arrived on time and took us around to the usual stops that tourists want to see in Santorini. I mentioned that I wanted to see the ruins and he at first was hesitant to take us there and I had to insist. He admitted he never went there and knew nothing about it. I am a history buff and taught Greek history in middle school. He finally said he would and it was so worth the trip. I would have preferred a driver who knew of some of the "off the beaten path" places to see rather than the view of Santorini from a bunch of different points of view.

My Daughter and I have just returned from the most amazing vacation to Greece that was booked through KimKim and was organised and taken care of 100% by Eirini.
We have loved Mamma Mia the movie and show since we saw it, my Daughters dream has been to go to Skiathos and Skopelos so Eirini made it happen. We explained what we wanted and Eirini came back with the most amazing trip that we have ever been on. Every step of the way was perfect starting off in Athens bring picked up from the airport and taken to The Foundry suites. We met the beautiful Elena who was our tour guide for the afternoon at the Acropolis and ending at one of the red that Eirini had recommended that we loved.
We were picked up and dropped off to every location along the way. In Skiathos we had a private boat tour around Skopelos and Skiathos stopping along the way to swim if we wished, take in the sights and having an amazing lunch cooked by the captain.
Then a ferry over to Skopelos for three nights staying at Minno and having again an amazing tour of all the Mamma Mia filming sites before enjoying the afternoon on Kastani beach. We had plenty of time to relax even though it was a full on trip. We’ve made the most amazing memories.
I will be booking a holiday again through Kimkim and will be reaching out to Eirini for our next adventure to Greece.

Thank you Eirini for all that you did for us

The food was amazing, but It would be great if during breakfast you were able to get your own tea and coffee rather than having to wait for a staff member to order one. It’s all an easy fix

What a great tour guide, took us to exactly where we wanted to go and didn’t give us a time limit when we stopped at locations. He also gave us the choice of where we wanted to stop at the beach giving us lots of options of where to go.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, dear Katrina!
It was truly a pleasure helping you and Hannah plan this special Mamma Mia adventure and I'm so happy to hear that every part of the trip met your expectations and created such memorable memories for both of you.
Knowing that we were able to make your daughter's dream of visiting the Mamma Mia filming locations come true means so much to me. I'll be sure to pass along your compliments to Elena!
I look forward to helping you plan your next Greek adventure whenever you're ready!ā¤ļø

Good morning Eirini
We had a wonderful time in Greece. The hotels that you selected for us were great and we enjoyed our stay and each one of them.
Callan and I did the tour of the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis with Poppy and she was wonderful. We learned so much she was patient. She answered every question that we had

The entire trip was memorable, but I would have to say one of my favorite memories was in Lemeni - it was like a fairytale
The guides are all knowledgeable. I just wish my memory was better for their names.

I did not know what to expect in the southern part of Greece. I didn’t expect all the mountains, loved the small villages— it was really beautiful. We had a great time. Thank you for planning such a wonderful trip.

I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip and that southern Greece exceeded your expectations. Limeni is one of my personal favourites too!

Very difficult to have perfect weather for something like this, possibly something you want to wait for the week of to book. We were both freezing and got sunburned at the same time

Nothing to do with the staff, they were amazing. The weather was just freezing due to the breeze which made the experience difficult to fully enjoy
