A lovely and extremely comfortable place. We are especially grateful that we could stay another night in our same room after Delta postponed our flight home to Boston the next day. The rooftop view of the Acropolis at night was also stunning and the location perfect to getting to all the sites we wanted to see.

Janice told me I had fun and loved everything ..... and I do not disagree with my wife. Coincidentally, I did love the trip although if she (Janice left out one or two tours ..... so I could rest that would have been nice to.). The islands and guides were memorable although those with thicker accents could have spoken slower and covered less. Overall I would highly recommend KIMKIM.

OMG… you guys are terrific! Everything was planned out and all planned activities came off flawlessly. We had many times where pickups and drop offs occurred and everyone met us on time. Loved how Kimkim set up our tours that were all private. Maria in Athens was amazing. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Alexander showed us Mykonos in the four wheel jeep. Great guy! So friendly and showed us beautiful places that tourists don’t usually go. Then on Naxos, we helped prepare the Greek luncheon with Nikos and Constantina. We loved being with them and we found it so hard to leave! Then on to Santorini. Simply spectacular. The sunset cruise was truly a great way to end our trip. Also, a special thanks to the Kimkim team for surprising my wife with flowers and champagne on the boat for our 35th wedding anniversary. You had her crying for joy!
All of your accommodations were first class and located in the perfect locations. Loved how you planned the itinerary….Great job Kimkim . (We are also looking to book our 3rd Kimkim vacation to Morocco…. Hopefully sometime in 2026)

Naxos

Constantina started off by giving us a complete tour of the farm and what they grow. The view from the farm was amazing. We helped prepare a luncheon with all fresh food right from the farm. While waiting for the food to cook in an open oven, Constantine and Nikkos entertained us with the history of Naxos. It was a great way to hear about Greek cuisine while drinking home made Rose wine.
