Ina Gaydarova

As a natural-born traveler, I've been fortunate to explore more than 100 countries, yet Greece is the one that has truly captured my heart. Originally hailing from Russia, I’ve made Greece my home for the past 25 years, irresistibly drawn to its deep-rooted history and stunningly diverse landscapes. So, let me share with you the places and experiences I’ve come to cherish the most.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in turning beautiful ideas into unforgettable journeys in Greece, whether it’s luxury travel, family or couples’ holidays, solo trips with a touch of soft adventure, or relaxing escapes."

How did you get involved in travel?

"My love for travel was inspired by my mother, who often took me on photo road trips. By the age of 18, I had already lived in 4 different countries. As I grew older, I began exploring Greece on my own and soon ventured abroad. My greatest dream came true when I set sail on a ship that carried me around the globe for five unforgettable years. Now back home, the “travel bug” is still very much alive, and I continue to seek out new destinations whenever time allows."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"It’s hard to choose just one, but my 15-day trek in the Himalayas (Everest Base Camp, Chola Pass, and Gokyo Valley) stands out. I faced rain, snow, and a storm, and after crossing a glacier, I climbed Gokyo Ri Peak at 5,357 m (17,575 ft) at sunset and watched in tears the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, glow in golden light above the turquoise Gokyo Lake. It was a moment of pure awe I’ll never forget. Other unforgettable adventures include skydiving over Palm Island in Dubai, hiking in Kyrgyzstan at –18°C, and backpacking through the Middle East."

I didn't know what to expect when I chose to use Kimkim, but after having used them I would highly recommend it to everyone! From the very beginning of trip planning, our local specialist Ina was a fantastic resource. She helped us shape the EXACT trip we wanted and dreamed of. We had several iterations of our trip, but she was very patient and kept working with us patiently to get the trip we wanted down to the littlest detail. First of all, Ina knew all the best tours and activities in each location. We had an amazing tour of the City of Athens & Acropolis, followed by a tour following Paul's footsteps to Corinth, and then in Paros we had the BEST boat tour (glaraki cruises), followed by a super fun and memorable cooking class. On top of picking the best activities for us, all of the private transportation was taken care of so there was NO STRESS. I think out of the dozens of transfers we had, only one came past the stated time and it was only late by 5 minutes so it was wonderful that we could count on the transportation to be there on time. Finally, we had a hiccup with a hotel in Paros where there were issues and the hotel was shut down for the days we were supposed to be there and Ina and her team quickly found an alternative hotel that was incredible. Instead of me scrambling to find an alternative, the Kimkim team handled it all smoothly and quickly. So to summarize: a fantastic experience from start to finish which resulted in a fun, romantic, and NO-STRESS trip.
