Greek Islands Custom Trips

Angela did an amazing job planning our trip! She paid attention to every detail, provided thoughtful recommendations, and kept everything organized from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, and she made the entire planning process stress-free. I highly recommend her! 😊

Our 10-day journey through Greece was the perfect way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. From the moment we arrived until our final sunset in Santorini, every detail was thoughtfully planned by Marianna, who created an experience that balanced history, culture, adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.

Over the course of our trip, we visited Athens, Milos, and Santorini, accumulating an impressive 101,721 steps along the way. Somewhere between climbing the Acropolis, wandering the historic streets of Athens, exploring the breathtaking beaches of Milos, enjoying food tours through local neighborhoods, sailing through the Santorini caldera, and completing the famous caldera hike, I began to appreciate the wisdom of the Greek philosophers. Socrates encouraged us to examine life. Greece gave us 101,721 opportunities to do exactly that.

Athens was the perfect introduction to Greece. Standing atop the Acropolis and looking across a city that has shaped Western civilization for thousands of years was both humbling and inspiring. Our food tours introduced us to the flavors that define Greek culture, where every meal felt less like dining and more like participating in a tradition that has been passed down through generations.

Milos captured our hearts with its authentic charm and stunning natural beauty. We spent hours exploring picturesque villages, relaxing on extraordinary beaches, and discovering hidden corners of the island. One of the highlights was visiting the beautiful castle overlooking the island, where the panoramic views of the Aegean Sea created one of those rare moments that no photograph can fully capture.

Santorini provided a spectacular finale. Sailing through the caldera offered a unique perspective of the island’s dramatic volcanic landscape, while the caldera hike rewarded us with some of the most breathtaking views we have ever experienced. Every turn seemed to reveal another scene worthy of a postcard.

Beyond the scenery and historic sites, what impressed us most were the Greek people themselves. Everywhere we traveled, we met individuals who were deeply proud of their heritage and genuinely eager to share it. Whether speaking with local guides, restaurant owners, shopkeepers, or fellow travelers, we experienced a level of warmth and hospitality that made us feel welcomed rather than simply accommodated. Their love for their history was contagious, and their stories brought every destination to life.

Of course, no trip to Greece would be complete without experiencing its culinary staples. Fresh seafood, local cheeses, traditional pastries, olive oil, and dishes prepared from recipes perfected over generations became highlights of our daily adventures. Every meal was an opportunity to learn something new about the culture.

As Aristotle wrote, “Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work.” That perfectly describes Marianna’s approach to planning this trip. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and thoughtful recommendations transformed a vacation into a once-in-a-lifetime anniversary celebration.

We returned home with incredible memories, a deeper appreciation for Greece’s remarkable history and culture, and 101,721 steps worth of stories. For anyone considering a journey to Greece, I cannot recommend Marianna and Kimkim highly enough.

Agali Houses delivered a flawless experience from check-in to check-out. The hospitality was exceptional, with a team that was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every moment special. The rooms were stunning. Spacious, elegant, and beautifully designed, they perfectly captured the charm and aesthetics of Santorini while providing every modern comfort imaginable. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and relaxing. The sunsets were simply unforgettable. Somehow, each evening’s view seemed even more breathtaking than the one before. Watching the sun melt into the Aegean Sea became the highlight of every day and a memory we will cherish for years. The room offered every creature comfort we could ask for, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the beauty surrounding us. Each morning, breakfast was a wonderful bonus, featuring fresh, delicious selections that started every day on the perfect note. Agali Houses is more than just a hotel. It is an experience defined by beauty, comfort, and world-class hospitality. If you’re visiting Santorini and looking for an unforgettable stay, this is the place.

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

Absolutely loved this hotel, beautifully decorated. Our room was a really lovely size with lots of storage and a balcony overlooking the harbour and pool.

This is Wyeth I’d expect from a new hotel, modern, but still has the charm of Greece

Not even 10 mins walk into the town

Staff

They need more staff! We had the most amazing welcome from the front desk and there if you ever needed help. The only thing that let the stars down and not receiving a five was the lack of staff around the pool and restaurant. 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.
