When it comes to travel planning.. my heart beats always a bit faster. Someone will find me surrounded by maps, spinning a globe, and planning the next excursion for my clients, beloved ones, or even European projects for multinational groups. Born and raised in Greece, I remember when I was a child we used to ride in the car with my family with the sole purpose to discover the hidden gems of Greece. Such a wide variety of landscapes, flavors, aromas… from stunning beaches with crystal blue waters to imposing gorges with dense vegetation and from mythical, ancient palaces to picturesque, vivid villages. Since then, I keep traveling throughout Greece to expand my knowledge.
I feel more than grateful for having the opportunity to turn my passion into my career. For the last 8 years, I’ve been dedicated to making more travelers discover the kaleidoscopic beauty of Greece, crafting bespoke trip plans that reflect nothing less than their true travel desires.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in designing tailor-made trip plans all over Greece. I craft holistic itineraries (including accommodation, transfers, fares, guided tours, escorted experiences, etc), for every traveler (couples, groups, families, solo travelers, etc), incorporating every travel style and preferences (culture, history, gastronomy, leisure, nature, adventure, art, etc)."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Traveling is without doubt about discovering different places and cultures. Another perspective with which I love to perceive traveling is that it gives you the opportunity to take a step back and observe how it affects your personality, shapes your reactions, and empowers your citizen id. And this is how I decided to take my MSc degree in Travel & Tourism Management. My studies inflamed my wanderlust and lead me to Prague. Living and working at the center of Europe was my launchpad for discovering multiculturalism. Now, I'm back in Greece, to infuse my expertise and assist travelers to experience Greece in an authentic way, away from stereotypes and touristic traps... just like Greeks do!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I'm recalling a few years ago when I took part in a European project in Slovakia, representing Greece. We lived with all participants for a week in the middle of the Slovakian province, surrounded by the scents and colors of nature. One night we decided to light a fire, and have bbq and dinner where everyone would prepare something traditional from his country. I made a big bowl of typical Cretan salad and tzatziki. Our table ended up being huge, and full of delicious delicacies. I had the opportunity to taste flavors from around the world, dance and sing by the fire and travel imaginatively in beautiful places during the various storytelling.
What a trip around the world.. just in one night, just in Slovakia!"

I didn't ever think I would use a travel agent. It's not very "millennial," but with a wife in medical school, two-year-old at home, and a full-time job, I decided to take my dad's advice and try out KimKim to plan our honeymoon vacation to Greece (after three years of delays due to the pandemic).

I couldn't have been more happy with my choice! Eleni and Mariliza were fantastic and picked out guides, tours, and experiences that were exactly what my wife and I were looking for. It was such a relief not to have to book hotels, worry about transportation, etc. The service was really out of this world and deeply refreshing to someone used to scrounging for deals on AirBnBs and fretting over public transit when traveling abroad.

In particular, my wife and I loved our experiences hiking in Meteora and Zagori. Our guide (Jim) in Meteora was very knowledge, but also hilarious and a great story-teller. We had a blast the whole time. I had never even heard of Vikos Gorge until Eleni suggested it, but ended up loving hiking out in the remote mountains of Eprius. Our guide (Athena) in Vikos was patient, engaging, and very attentive to our level of fatigue/comfort through the hike. The restaurant recommendations we got throughout the trip were also fantastic--with so many options to choose from (esp. in Athens) it was great to be able to pick from a smaller list. We never had a disappointing meal!

We also appreciated that Eleni/Mariliza were willing to let us "take the reigns" toward the end of the trip. My father is Greek and we wanted to spend time visiting family in Kavala. Eleni/Mariliza arranged a very smooth transition from the part of the trip they planned with the time that we spent seeing relatives. It was reassuring to know that they were there and available to help if we needed them, but not pushing us to buy/do things that we didn't want or need to.

Overall, we are really happy. Next time we take a big trip abroad, we will definitely use KimKim. This was so much better and more relaxing than doing everything ourselves. Now that I've tried a modern travel agency, I don't think I can ever go back. :)

We highly recommend KimKim Travels for a trip to Greece! My family and I visited three cities in Greece in April 2023: Athens, Nafplio, and Santorini. From the beginning of our interaction until the end of our trip, team members Eleni and Mariliza provided solid support. They created an excellent itinerary for us, taking into consideration our requests and the weather conditions in Greece during that time. Team members were timely in their communications and always ready to assist with any changes that occurred, even during the trip. This made us feel secure and at ease.

The drivers and tour guides who accompanied us from city to city—Eva, Giannis, George, and Hercules—were well informed, friendly, dedicated, and committed to making our trip a huge success! They also had snacks, water, and soda for us in their tour vans!

We enjoyed the choice of hotels in each city. We stayed at a total of four hotels, given our travel requirements. Our favorites were the Elia Ermou in Athens, the Grande Bretagne in Nafplio, and the Kalisti in Santorini. Pickups and drop-offs from the airport were smooth and timely. We also really appreciated the thoughtful and unique gifts from KimKim!

KimKim Travels thought of almost everything, and we deeply value their time and energy spent in creating a fabulous holiday experience for us in Greece!

Hotel Reviews
Elia Ermou Athens Hotel
Athina

Located in central Athens this hotel was a charming, small hotel on one of the main streets of Athens and was in the midst of lovely outdoor restaurants, high end shopping, as well as local shops with trinkets. It was also very close to the Acropolis. The breakfast was hearty. The staff was polite. The bathrooms were a bit tight but then the stay was only for a few days. The only recommendation I would provide is to have the twin beds in each room separated.

1) The layout of the beds. Twin beds need to be kept separate. Two persons in our group received a room with a bathroom made for people with disabilities. That room should be kept reserved only for people with disabilities. What if someone had checked in who needed that room then the hotel staff would have made us move. That would have been an inconvenience to us and others.
Grande Bretagne - Nafplio
Nafplio

Loved its location--right near the water and main square! This was an older hotel so the rooms were larger and also the bathrooms were larger. The decor had an old world charm.

The hotel had no in service dinning for the evening time. Their restaurant was non operational, perhaps because it wasn't high season.
Kalisti Hotel & Suites
Santorini

Fantastic central location! Walkable to the main city center and other places. Beautifully built in the iconic Greek housing style. Bathrooms were however very small. The owner of the hotel came to the breakfast room to greet folks...how wonderful is that! She is an amazing lady who has been in the restaurant for 40 years we were told. She was so kind and welcoming. The staff was also very friendly. The outdoors near the swimming pool was beautifully decorated and one could see the rising sun in the mornings. great place for the hotel to consider offering yoga classes!

Gave a 4 rating only because of the very small bathroom which would have been okay if there was a sliding glass door. The water spilled out into the rest of the bathroom area.

Overall this hotel was good in terms of the room size and also the size of the bathroom. The area of its location did not appear to be the best. The hotel door was locked at all times and only one person sat at the reception. Did not get time to taste their breakfast as we had an early morning flight. Staff was friendly. Someone was playing loud music all night. Perhaps passing cars that came and stood in front of the hotel. Not sure.

We appreciated the list of recommendations for all the places we visited from our driver cum guide-Giannis-- on the way to Nafplio including a visit to the famous ancient theater site, Epidaurus, where we learned about the history and connection of healing between art and performance. It was an amazing experience, and we were grateful that the car took us right up to the top so we didn't have to walk. The local guide there was George and he was amazing in his explanations about the site!

The sunset sailing tour in Oia on the luxury catamaran was a highlight of our trip. The cruise was very nice, and the members on board were kind and welcoming. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed the views of the beautiful architecture of Santorini with the white-washed buildings and swimming pools on balconies as well as the blue domes of churches from the water. We also watched the breathtaking sunset from the Catamaran. We even came back to the same place-- Oia, the next day because we loved it so much.

We had an excellent experience with Giannis our guide in Nafplio. He picked us from Athens and drove us to Nafplio. His van had snacks and water and he was a great conversationalist! Our specialist Eleni suggested Nafplio and we are so glad we went. Giannis was an amazing guide, showing us many monuments and interesting places, such as the place where the Mythical Hydra visited and the Corinth canal on the way to Nafplio. We would have never known about these places if it wasn't for him. We also had a wine tasting with lunch at Nemean wines. The lunch was supposed to be light, but it was a big beautiful delicious spread! This was our favorite meal of the trip. Highly recommend this town, even though it is less known.

Santorini Wonders
Santorini

George, who was our guide in Nafplio, was an amazing guide who prepared a list of items and places for us to visit in Santorini. We shared that list with our guide in Santorini, Hercules who then created a wonderful day of sightseeing for us. He took us first to a monastery on top of a hill that many people don't know about. The views of Santorini from there are spectacular! We also went to Emporio, a small village with amazing architecture just like one sees in pictures! After that he took us to a winery from where the views of the other side of the island were fabulous! We also visited the excavation site in Akrotiri rounding off the tour at the Art Space and Wine Museum where we got to taste local Santorini wines, and admire the work of Greek artists in their gallery. Overall, we had a great experience with Hercules and the van driver, Thomas, and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini.

So knowledgeable, thorough, excellent communicator and on top of all this friendly! Our 16 day trip went off without a single mishap. After a few days of trading emails, Eleni developed the trip of a lifetime, really- this is not hyperbole. All we had to do was follow the clear instructions provided in the thorough printed itinerary given to us upon arrival at the Athens airport. All drivers were prompt and drove safely. Anastasia, our tour guide for walking Athens, the Acropolis and Acropolis museum was fantastic. I think our time with her might have been the best private tour I've ever had. We loved how quiet the Elektra Palace hotel was. The rooftop pool with view of the Acropolis was fantastic.
Costas, our guide for Pyrgos Kallistis, ancient Akrotiri, and a wine tour on Santorini was top notch! The Dome Hotel we stayed at in Santorini had a fantastic, unobstructed view of the water and a wonderful poolside bar and friendly staff.
Paros may have been my favorite. Kanales Resort has wonderful food, helpful and friendly staff. Convenient to the my favorite town Naousa. Walking the narrow streets, shopping, and of course eating at fantastic restaurants. We loved our half day tour of Paros, walking narrow streets of the traditional town of Aranto was so peaceful and photogenic.
We are so glad we also choose to go north to Delphi and Meteora. So beautiful and again wonderful guides.

Our transportation and guides were always prompt and so knowledgeable. They answered all our questions and connected the dots for us as they helped us learn some of the vast history and sights of the country; in particular, Anastasia was fantastic for the Acropolis tour, Costas was amazing for the tour of Santorini and the wine tour; and,Yannis was so informative as a transportation guide - both he and Costas showed us a places we wouldn't have seen without their guidance; finally Nickolas our driver to Delphi and Meteora was so entertaining and enjoyable - he had a ton of energy and ensured we enjoyed our trip through the mountains. The catamaran trip was breathtaking and one that I would recommend to anyone visiting Santorini - what a beautiful way to see the island. Thank you again for your incredible planning of our trip - it was just the right amount of travel, education, entertainment, and relaxation. I'm sure we'll be back to Greece - there is so much more to explore!

She also worked with our budget and was able to include some phenomenal experiences based on our requests and desires. The entire trip flowed flawlessly. All the hotels were AMAZING and the experiences were definitely UNFORGETTABLE. Our trip to Metoera was so unique and seeing the monasteries in their unique environment was fantastic. Each of our transfers was there on time and we never had any issues. Finally, our favorites were some experiences in Mykonos and Santorini...in Mykonos we had an amazing sailing cruise for 7 hours and we loved it. In Santorini we had a sunset sailing cruise with delicious food and also this great wine tasting experience. I cannot recommend Eleni highly enough and we would definitely go back again and use her for planning our trip!

We are a family of 4 and just completed a phenomenal trip to Greece. Eleni was our local specialist and she was awesome. The trip was a great mix of historical sites, beach/water activities, food, wine, culture and people. All trips, transfers and activities were perfectly arranged and we just needed to show up with a smile. I'd recommend a trip to Greece arranged by Eleni for everyone - we visited Athens and 3 islands and the logistics can be complicated without a local expert.

Working with Eleni allowed us to have a highly customized experience which created a lot of joy for our trip. She not only put the big things in place like where we were going, but took into account all the little details that matter like what was the best time to go and making sure we had drivers to take us to and from all our tours. I didn’t have to worry about logistics and therefore I feel like I had an actual vacation. Eleni listened to our preferences and as a result we did amazing things like tour the village of our guide, Leo, in Naxos. We also were able to add in an extra few miles on our Caldera walk with Kostas which produced amazing views of Santorini. Since our trip included private tours we were able to focus on our preferences and do things like stop for gelato and spend more time at the beach and less time shopping. I didn’t know we could have this type of private, customized travel experience and I am so grateful that Eleni helped created the space that allowed us to focus on our time together and not on trip logistics. It was a magical week and Eleni was a big part of that.

This hotel was a slice of perfection right off of the beach. It is a new hotel and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Each morning we had a big breakfast prepared by Margherita that was phenomenal and we could see the water from our table. The rooms were lovely. The cabanas by the beach were comfortable and easily accessible. Anastasia checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed to spark joy. The hotel itself was great but coupled with the staff makes this place unforgettable. This hotel is quite special for all the right reasons.

This tour was special because it was obvious Leo had a lot of pride in his island and wanted to show us all the good things it had to offer. We learned a lot about Naxos, but beyond that we got a sense of the culture. Leo was great about balancing his prepared stops with small ones we requested like getting gelato and buying our family olive oil from the village that is known for producing it. It was an exceptional day.

This hike and the guide were trip highlights. Kostas took into account the kind of hiking we liked to do and added on to the hike to make it a little longer which was amazing. As a result we saw this 360 view of Santorini from Skaros. It was one of my favorite spots of the entire week. Kostas was our best guide because it didn’t feel like a scripted experience. He had a good balance of giving us information but also just talking as we walked along.

We went through several versions, until we came up with the perfect trip for my husband and I. Throughout our two weeks in Greece, Eleni immediately responded to any questions, concerns or changes we needed help with. Her suggestions for activities and restaurants were spot on. We spent the majority of our time touring the archaeological sites in the Peloponnese and Athens. We toured Olympia, Delphi and Nafplio with guides that were archaeologists; they made the ruins come to life. We had two fabulous guided hikes with Fotis and Elani. And the entire trip was made stress free by our fabulous driver, Andreas. He was always where we needed him and provided comfort after a long day. Eleni had reserved very nice accommodations through out the stay and all of our transfers went off without a hitch. This trip was everything I had hoped for and more.
