Seven days in Greece is just enough time to cover a few of the country's highlights, whether you're looking for a relaxing island escape, to explore ancient ruins, or for a taste of the Greek culture and way of life. You can hit the most famous spots like Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, or have a slower-paced trip and immerse yourself in local culture in Crete. If you're looking for something a little more active and to get off-the-beaten-path, an adventure in the Peloponnese or sailing and hiking in the Dodecanese should do the trick. History buffs can experience a mix of the ancient world and island life, or explore ruins and monasteries on the mainland.

Want to explore the best that Greece has to offer? Get started by describing your ideal trip, and we'll connect you with a local specialist to plan out the details.

The many steps kept us in shape for our long walk from Fira to Oia. It was a challenge but we would to it again! Santorini Sea Kayak provided us with a wonderful and entertaining day of paddling and spectacular views along the coast. Adonis and Nolan were the best guides ever! We were also treated to a homemade lunch.

Naxos was a treasure and a sweet change of pace. Although the winds were gusty and it was a bit chilly we stilled loved the island. One of our favorite tours was with Natural Cultural Tours. Our guide Christos was over the top fun, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Sadly we said goodbye the Greek Islands as we headed back to Athens and our long journey home. Thank you Kim Kim for giving us this opportunity!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our trip to Greece was — and a huge part of that was thanks to Siena and the entire team at KimKim. From start to finish, everything felt seamless, thoughtful, and so well planned.

Even the rainy weather during our Acropolis & Mythology Walk in Athens couldn’t dampen the experience. Our guide, Michael, was hilarious, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our Delphi day trip was equally memorable, and the lunch stop on the drive home — arranged by our driver Chris — ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip.

In Chania, our History & Foodie Tour was absolutely delicious (and VERY filling), and our guide Aria was genuinely lovely. We were also lucky enough to have Nikos as our guide for both the Milia Mountain wine & olive oil tasting and the Balos Lagoon/Falassarna Beach tour — and he was truly exceptional. He had such a warm, welcoming energy that he made both excursions feel relaxed and personal. We also met wonderful people on each of our small group tours, which made the experience even more special.

Eva at the Alcanea Boutique Hotel was beyond kind and accommodating. The suite was beautiful, and the location honestly couldn't have been more perfect.

One thing I especially appreciated was how supported we felt the entire time. Having contacts for every transfer and knowing KimKim was available if anything went wrong made traveling abroad feel easy and stress-free.

I would HIGHLY recommend KimKim to anyone planning a trip. We made memories we’ll never forget — and I know we’ll absolutely use them again in the future.

O.M.G. I asked Siena at KimKim for the best suite she could find for the final night of our engagement trip to Greece and she ABSOLUTELY delivered!! We stayed in a suite with the view of the Acropolis, that also had a balcony and overlooked the bustling city of Athens. Since we were only staying one night, we bought pizza and a bottle of wine and just took in everything right from our amazing room. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
