Athens Mythology tour was fabulous, our guide was so engaging and a brilliant story teller. The hotel in Athens was very cosy and service very friendly. The weather was perfect for a City tour but got somewhat colder in Santorini! Angela worked hard to rearrange trips taking account of weather conditions and we were able to participate in and enjoy all. Santorini was beautiful but one should be aware that during February most restaurants are closed and there is a lot of construction work ongoing. However this did not dampen our enjoyment; the two open establishments were superb! We had a very comfortable cave on Santorini with a superb view. Will be using Kimkim again!

GREECE was a DREAM COME TRUE

We did have a nice view of the parthenon from our room so this definitely made up for the space. Also, we ran out of hot water the first night so that was a bummer. Otherwise this hotel was super cute and Aphrodite was a great hostess. Breakfast in the morning was delicious.

* Anastacios our tour guide was very pleasent! He took us through the Acropolis and was very informative. He did go off on a couple tangents and he mentioned how influencers just want to come and take pics so we felt a bit weird asking for a photo. We didn't get a chance to go to the museum. He asked if we still wanted to go but we opted not to since the Acropolis tour took so long.

*Ivis 4 Boutique Hotel - was definitely very fancy and probably the honeymoon stay we were expecting. We didn't have a nice view of the parthenon but otherwise it was very nice. It would have been nice to stay here a couple more nights.

Santorini
* Blue Dolphin was AMAZING. This definitely felt like the honeymoon stay we were hoping for. Since the moment we arrived in Santorini we were welcomed with such hospitality.

* Trail Guide Artemius, was AMAZING. He took us to Oia and took us to the Blue Domes. He asked if we wanted photos and even went as far as to take videos. All along the trail he told us about Santorini and its history. He told us about him and his family. He was such a pleasure!

* The Cruise was so much FUN. George and George were very nice!!

* Luxury Travel - i think this was the name of the driver company who took care of picking us up and dropping us off throughout our stay . Again sooo very nice and very reliable.

Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and provided us with interesting facts in every site. Crete was a beautiful and vibrant island that is worth visiting. Our trip to Santorini was canceled last minutes and Angela assisted to build a different itinerary in mainland Greece. The last five days of the trip were awesome and we visited Corinth, Olympia, Delphi and Meteora as well as many small villages. Thank you Angela for all your help, and a promise we will come back to the islands 😀😀

When we hit snags along the way (which weren't many), Angela was right there to revise the itinerary. I'm usually the one to plan our trips, so it was a real treat for me to have someone else take that on and who better than someone who knows the country and can provide more than just a "tourist's" view. Thank you, Angela, and all the amazing tour guides who made our trip so special!

Here is my honest review of Greece and our experience with Kim Kim. I will 1000% use Kim Kim to book my next trip. Angela was fanatic. All of our drivers were on time to take us from one place to the next and all of our tours and ferry tickets were handled in advance which was extremely convenient. More about the drivers below.

The weather was not great for us. Looking back we wish we went in September. There were no crowds which was amazing and we never waited for a restaurant and were wondering the streets without bumping shoulders with other tourists however it was very windy and we needed coats. It certainly didn’t ruin our time but I think a month earlier would have been less crowded but warmer!

Here are the hotel reviews:
Melo- Athens
Marta was awesome. She worked at the reception desk at the hotel. It was in a great location however it’s kind of loud at night if you’re not able to sleep with a lot of noise. It didn’t bother us but worth noting. The room is an odd shape but it worked for the 2 days we were there. It was clean! The shower was cold at night so shower in the morning! Local breakfast was good especially Frogs!
The floor in the bathroom gets really wet when you shower and the tub takes awhile to fill just an fyi

Abasa- Santorini
Tiyana and the owner were so sweet. They provided recommendations for restaurants and kindly drove us into town 1 night and to a winery another day. The room was a really nice size and the water was always hot. Tiyana recommended a restaurant in town and made us reservations and the breakfast at the property was great . The only negatives for me were the location, it was a bit of a hike all uphill into Fira and there weren’t many sidewalks. We made it work because luckily we had some tours and things so we didn’t need a car. The other downside were the flies.

Liana in Naxos
The view was the best and we got free drinks that were really great upon arrival. The downside the room was musky the people were not as friendly the breakfast was terrible the jacuzzi wasn’t hot and overall was our least favorite even though it was right in the beach. We were only here for 2 days so it wasn’t a big deal for us. I think September this would be perfect time to go because you could’ve spent alot of time on the beach and not the room. Plus more places would have been open. The town of Naxos was really great though. We enjoyed visiting and it was quick bus ride into town.

Ivis 4 -Athens
Was our favorite. Sooo clean the food and drinks were both fantastic and the room was modern, functional and clean. The only negative for me was the bed wasn’t super comfy but I could look past that given the other bonuses. The hotel had a gym unlike other hotels. It was in great location was still a little loud but less than Melo. The bartenders and servers were all fantastic. The breakfast was the best!!

Overall the drivers were good and all were on time. I would give all but 2 of them a 10/10. Our first driver was a little lost in Athens so I had to navigate for him. It was a long travel day and he kept doing laps of the city which was getting a little frustrating. The other driver was after our catamaran cruise in santorini. He was flying on all the windy roads and changing music and I think he had 2 friends with him during the drive. Everyone else no complaints.

Restaurants / tours
In Athens we went to dopios which was amazing. The popcorn shrimp was fantastic.

We did the Greek mythology tour and our guide Magda was wonderful. She remembered all of our names and was so insightful on the history of the city and mythology.

Santorini we really liked all the coffee/ espresso we had. Do not get smoothies at the hungry donkey though and for dinner we liked kokkalo. The villages tour was great because we got to see a lot of the island. It was probably our least favorite of the 4 we did but we still enjoyed the sightseeing. The catamaran cruise at sunset was awesome but towards the end the water was choppy so if you get seasick just know it’s a long tour but worth it if you don’t mind being on the water!

Naxos was the cutest. I high recommend the taste of Naxos tour. We learned alot of about the island and were able to taste local cheeses, liquor and foods. Our guide George was also wonderful. 10/10 experience.

Thank you to the Kim Kim team for all your help! I would recommend working with Angela to anyone looking to go to Greece! Looking forward to planning our next trip with Kim Kim soon.

Angela did an amazing job. Our trip was highlighted by the wonderful guides there. Helaine was so thorough with a delightful voice and beautiful stories. We started our adventure with the Acropolis and many stories of the mythology surrounding it. We ventured toward Delphi and so much that surrounded. Started one day at a small mountainside farm in Meteora for coffee and sweet spoons, lunched with locals for lamb cooked over coals of an open fire, ended at a family winery. In between there were Monasteries on top of bluffs, a wonder and marvel to see. Churches being restored, icon art being created and some of the history of the Greek people! Athens was wonderful as well, walking the streets and markets, tasting the flavors. Christina was also a delight reading the Greek coffee grounds, and showing us the sights old and new. The street art there was a special walk scattered with updated housing, shops and markets.
Santorini was a magical place, the Mystique was enchanting! Don't miss Mia's Tia next door, its a special drink! The sunsets at Oia and shops were wonderful. We loved cooking and tasting at the winery. An uncovered ancient city and red sand beaches were a highlight as well as, a seaside lunch at the black sand beach. We ended our time at an outdoor show of Greek family Wedding!
Crete was a magical, lovely area and we managed to visit the eastern and western areas with Alexander. Eastern was a special river area with pomegranate and Bay leaf trees. We visited a family olive farm and saw the working of it and tasted the delicious harvest. We enjoyed old monasteries and nunneries with lovely hand made jewelry and beautiful scenery. We saw 13th century monasteries preserved, and ended our day with the most tasteful meal cooked outside over hearth and stone oven! The western area we visited a lovely town being restored
and the valley of the 5 virgins. We hiked and saw ancient Sycamore trees, beautiful gorges and abandoned monasteries, still visited by local people. We ended our day in a local tavern with spring fed waterfalls and fresh trout. Delicious!

We had the most amazing time in Greece! We sre so thankful to Angela!! She was so helpful, responsive, and really went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Booking through KimKim with Angela was a seamless process. It was a trip of a lifetime and I am so thankful!

Angela helped my wife and I plan the most amazing honeymoon. She was able to direct us to islands that fit exactly what we were looking for. From the very first time we stepped foot in Athens, everything was taken care of for us. Our driver was waiting there for us with our name on a sign. He was prompt for every pick up and very friendly. Our first hotel in Athens was in a great location, right near Plaka. She also booked us on a small group tour that took us around the main sites in Athens. From there, we went to our first island, Milos. Angela suggested this island from our little questionnaire that we filled out on Kim Kim. We were looking for something that was different from your typical islands. It had beautiful beaches, amazing people, and the hotel we stayed in, Eirianna, was delightful and charming. When I was planning this part of the trip, we went back-and-forth about different excursion options, and she was able to find exactly what we were looking. We did a very small group, boat tour and a private food tour of the island. Both of those tours were absolutely amazing and a must do in Milos.
Our last and final stop was in Santorini, again helping us find the perfect small little hotel, with stunning views of the caldera. She helped us not only book a local tour, but also helped us rent a car that was dropped off right outside of our hotel. She coordinated all of our transfers to the airports, ferries, hotels, restaurants, and tours. We literally did not have to think about one thing. That is exactly what we were looking for! She was responsive the entire trip and always checked in to make sure we were having the best time ever. If you were thinking about going to Greece, you must work with Angela. She is responsive, accommodating, easy to work with and prompt. Overall, this was one of the best vacations we have ever been on. I cannot recommend her and Kim Kim enough.

This hotel is in the perfect location if you want to walk around and see all the major sites in Athens. The rooms are tiny, but you are barely in the rooms anyway.

Her and her staff were attentive, kind, responsive, and would work with you to make sure you were having the best time ever. The hotel was located five minutes away from Plaka in Milos. You could easily walk there at night for dinner and shopping. It had beautiful views on either side of the island. The breakfast was wonderful and brought to your little outdoor area every morning. They went out of their way to make sure you were having an exceptional time. The owner gave us recommendations on where to go and what to do in our free time.

Janne was a great driver and turned out to be a wonderful guide on his own as he got us from our hotel in Athens to Delphi and Meteora and back to Athens. He gave us a nice bit of color along the way.

Nicole gave us a tour of Therassia with lots of local information and history. The tour was a bit of death march up hills and stairs, but we saw wonderful caves, a beautiful church, and tasted local figs and plants along the way and got the triumphal sprig of rosemary when we reached the pinnacle!

The one thing I would recommend is doing the tour of Athens and the Acropolis+museum in two four hour days. Or waiting until you have fully recovered from the jet lag. It was more than a bit of a death march and, by the afternoon at the museum, we all felt it was interesting, but just wanted to lie down.

I highly recommend this kind of tour. It was private, just the three of us, and even though the tour guides have an agenda, which gets in the way of in depth exploration, every moment was orchestrated to give us the highest and most comfortable experience possible (except when marching, but that is easily adjusted for in the future).

I will never go on a tour with a large group after this experience and I will definitely use KimKim again for my next trip.

Our trip to Greece was amazing. Angela helped me through the booking process and checked in on us during our trip to make sure everything was going well and as planned. This was the first time we'd used a travel service and tour guide, but will not be the last.

I really can't stress enough how much I would recommend Giannis as a tour leader to anyone that likes to have fun even during the boring parts of the trip like driving. We really made a friend for life there.

The mountains and oil trees were amazing and literally everywhere. Delphi was my favorite spot to visit. The ruins were amazing and the view is like none other. The Acropolis and Acropolis museum was also amazing to see in person. The sheer size they used to build stuff at thousands of years ago is astonishing.

I was on the fence about using kimkim as we had never used a travel agency, but they (Angela) did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them. There is nothing that I would change about our trip except maybe make it longer!

Transportation between locations and for excursions were perfectly planned with no missteps. Alexander did a great job with our all day private tour of Crete. Highly recommend! He’s fun, funny, full of expression and knows Crete intimately. The catamaran swim day/sunset cruise in Santorini was a must and amazingly beautiful. Our accommodations here were a favorite…we could see the sunrise, sunset and the sea from our balcony!!! The Athens ancient history ruins and mythology tour was super informative and something we will never forget. We can’t wait to go back to explore more of the Greek Islands. We would recommend KIMKIM to help plan your next bucket list getaway and Angela specifically if you are going to Greece!

Angela was fantastic to work with! She was there the whole way to help with any issues we had or anything we needed changed! It was an amazing trip overall, all the hotels we stayed in felt super safe and were in good areas. If anyone is wondering if they should do a sunset catamaran in santorini, it is a MUST!!!

Greece is a destination spot for a lot of folks around the world and planning a trip with all the traveling and scheduling details is a huge and daunting effort. Angela made that effort look so seamless and easy that I had to pinch myself as to whether I am truly in Greece vacationing and enjoying to the fullest. After the initial consultation session to show our interests she put together a trip plan that suited our needs. Every step of the way, we had drivers or tour operators waiting for us to show us beautiful Greece. The most stunning places were in Santorini and Crete, again the tours completely catered to what our needs were and it was the most amazing experience. I wish for my future travels, we can use Angela, but unfortunately she is travel advisor for Greece only. So for my future travels, I will most definitely use kimkim and hope to get another Angela to make our vacation the most memorable one.

We just came back from our 12-day trip to Greece. It was our first time trying out Kimkim as I had limited time to plan it and wanted to see so many things during the trip.

We were able to book some parts of the trip ourselves whenever it made more sense (e.g using my own hotel points for a few days of accomodation). I really like this flexibility. Plus it was really easy to do the back and forth through Kimkim platform. During the trip, Angela kept in touch with us through Kimkim and provided reminders of upcoming tours, took care of rebookings when there was a museum that was closed on the day, etc. She provided peace of mind during our trip and she was very prompt in responding to any inquiries I had. Overall very happy with the service Angela provided. Thank you!

We had a magical trip to Greece thanks to Angela at KimKim. We loved every minute from the ancient ruins in Crete to kayaking in Lefkada to the beautiful sunsets in Santorini. She figured out every detail and ensured we knew where we needed to be and when. The entire planning process was easy and we felt very well taken care of.

Now that we've found KimKim, we won't go it alone again. We had the luxury of enjoying our vacation without a care in the world. Angela ensured we were in good hands from when our plane landed to when we returned to the airport 17 days later.

Our trip was well planned. She listened to our needs and gave us multiple options, so we felt in control. Thankfully when we thought we were too tired for an experience and contacted her to bail, she convinced us not to drop it. She was right every time. Here are some of the tours we LOVED:
Food Tour on Milos with our guide Michael. As a native, he had loads to share. He also owns a nightclub, Fiki. When we visited, he treated us like gold. Ask for the Spicy Salad - a drink to remember.
Janos was our guide when we sailed and explored Kimilos Island. We appreciated his relaxed style, and the service plus lunch was five-star.
Private sailing on Milos was a true highlight, thanks to the captain, crew and challenging winds. We sailed to coves and caves you couldn't get to otherwise. The crew brought plenty of wine and songs and played guitar as we sailed into the sunset.
If you go to Naxos, TAKE THE DISTILLERY AND OLIVE TASTING TOUR. Promponas Distillery brings more to the table than you will ever anticipate. Third-generation owner, Katerina, is all heart. Get ready for the good stuff.

We were not able to get close to Lake Vouliagmeni but did manage to see it from a lookout point. I think we would choose to go there for the day instead of the tour.

This was one of the biggest unexpected highlights of our trip. I can't believe we almost canceled it due to the winds. The boat was just the right size for the six of us and the 2 person crew. They sailed with the winds and took us to places only small sailboats could go. The waters were crystal clear. We sailed through caves where the water's turned purple. We found white rock cliffs to jump from into the incredible coves. The food was okay but the drink was plenty. It kills me that I can not remember the name of the fabulous woman who served as shipmate and guide because she also entertained us with song. The captain shared his guitar and let us play while we all say. He played a few beautiful songs and sang with our guide. I am so sorry I can not remember their names.

Our absolute favorite spot was Milos! Seriously we are in love. The island was incredible, our hotel was gorgeous and every person we interacted with was so kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. We rented a quad to get around the island and saw SO much, beautiful, out of this world beaches, the incredible cliffsides of Plaka, everything! We even got to go kayaking around the southern side of the island and got to snorkel through caves! No way we would've had this same experience without Angela and KimKim's help!

This hotel was beautiful and we really appreciated having the pool on the hotter days.

The main reason for this low review though is that on our last night in the hotel, an employee entered our locked room while we were sleeping to remind us of our airport transfer in the morning, even though we (through our travel agency) were the ones who arranged it. This was really inappropriate and honestly put us on edge the rest of the night. The hotel rooms do not have phones so I understand why they didn't call, but entering a guests room is extremely inappropriate and made us feel very unsafe.

14 Reasons Why

Athens

Such a cute and funky little hotel in the heart of Athens! Loved the whole aesthetic of the hotel and our room was spacious and fun! The absolute best part though was the food!!! This hotel is also a brunch place and as hotel guests, you get 20% off their menu. We arrived a little early for check in so decided to get some food while we waited and oh my god. Instagram worthy, healthy, fresh food! And very affordable! The best part??? The breakfast that is included with your hotel is.the.same.breakfast!! So you get very high quality food to start off your day. We ended up sandwhiching our time in Athens around our trips to the islands, so we stayed at a different hotel on the way in and we talked so much about how we wish we had gotten to stay at this place longer. Absolutely loved it!

Tips for future travelers

Its a bit farther from the acropolis than other places but very close to metros, great restaurants and a whole host of other Ancient sites!

Beat the Crowds Acropolis Afternoon Tour

Greece

Loved that this tour was focused on the myths and culture behind the Acropolis and Parthenon, rather than the architecture like all the signs were. Our kind was very friendly and knowledgeable! We ended up going to the Acropolis again on a different day to just take our time walking around but the name "Beat the Crowds" tour is no joke! Great experience!

Escape to theTomato Industrial Museum Bike tour

Santorini

The ride over to the Museum was beautiful! I loved seeing all the beaches and cliffs, and the electric bike made it a very smooth ride! Our Guide was also extremely nice and was very helpful for us getting started with the bikes! That being said I feel like the description of this activity was very misleading. It wasn't really a "tour" per say, more of a "follow the leader to your destination" as we didn't stop anywhere along the route to talk or take pictures of anything. The Tomato Museum was interesting and the tomato juice and paste we got to try were incredible! The activity description said we would get to "Seal our own tomato pulp" which we were so excited for such a great souvenir, especially after tasting everything! However, in reality, you sealed your own *empty* can with a tomato label, which was a bit disappointing. Finally, the activity description said on our way back from the Museum we would stop at Vlychada Beach where we would "get to quench your thirst with light refreshments at the beach bar". This is very misleading. We were able to take a few pictures of the beach from where we parked the bikes before heading into the Museum, but then pretty much packed up and left immediately on the return. There was no stopping for refreshments. We went straight back to the starting point. The frustrating part, is the route you take to the museum is FILLED with amazing looking restaurants and beach bars where my husband and I would've LOVED to stop in at, but as soon as we made it back to the starting point, our transport was there to take us back. We did not get to explore or experience any part of the beach, other than riding past it.

More stops for pictures and information, update the description of the activity to be more accurate.

Our guide was awesome! SO nice!

Maybe don't schedule things so tightly together, I would've like to had time to explore after our bike ride but instead we had to leave immediately.

Sea Kayak in Milos

Greece

BEST THING WE DID IN GREECE! Our guides were amazing, so fun and knowledgeable! We went through rock formations, caves, tunnels, absolutely amazing time! They took just enough breaks both on the water and off at different sites for us to be able to keep up! An awesome surprise was that we got GoPros to take all the videos and pictures with that we wanted even underwater, I can't wait to get them back! Truly an amazing family run business as we even got 2 homemade snacks per person from the guides mother (that were AMAZING). I would absolutely do this again and recommend it to everyone I know!

Athens to Meteora day trip by scenic train ride!

Athens

LOVED seeing these beautiful cliffs and monasteries! The pictures we got look like they are straight out of National Geographic. The tour guides were so fun and incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out all of the details we could've wanted, including a fun Game of Thrones photo Point! The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was that based on the activity description, I wasn't aware the monasteries each had their own entrance fee or that most of them only took cash. There was one monastery we didn't get to go in because there were no atms at the top(and we didn't know to stop closer to the bottom), which was really disappointing because it was one of the biggest ones! We spent the time taking beautiful pictures of the surrounding areas though. The train ride is also a little rough and long but overall a beautiful trip!

Train ride home was delayed by over an hour with no explanation as to why.

Our trip was absolutely amazing thanks to Angela, we were able to experience a variety of activities, check off our bucket list items, and make changes to the tip when needed.

Some of our favorite activities:
-Athens Mythology tour, our tour guide was Denai (I may have spelled that wrong) and she was INCREDIBLE! There was not a question she couldn't answer, the tour was at a great pace and 10/10 would do it again.
-Sarakiniko in the morning - Love that we were able to add this in, the... read more

-Sarakiniko in the morning - Love that we were able to add this in, the 1.5 hours in the morning was perfect, no crowds, it wasn't too hot, and gave us just the right amount of time to explore, jump, and take pictures
-Milos sailing tour, even with the stop changes we had a lot of fun and we loved the group we were with :D
-The Milos food tour was also fantastic with Giannis and gave us so much insight into the island. ----The Santorini kayak tour was also amazing
-All time classic Santorini tour with Katie (Katy?) was so informative, and we have told everyone about Akatori.

Our 2 least favorite activities honestly have nothing to do with the activity, and more of just our over commitment took away from the experience:
Athens food tour, the tour was great but after the 5 hour walking tour that morning, another 5 hour walking tour a few hours later probably wasn't our best idea (But once again this was on us, the tour was great, we were just a little too tired to enjoy it fully)
Santorini catamaran sunset tour - It was great, but I think we would have enjoyed some more time in Fira or Oia, instead of being on the boat. If we hadn't also done the Kayak tour I think we would have enjoyed this more but we loved the kayak tour more than this one.

Milos was definitely our favorite island and experience as a whole, everywhere we went on the island was a great time from laid back Pollonia, picturesque Plaka, the historic catacombs & theatre, to the variety of beaches, we already want to go back.

All of our hotels & car services were wonderful and made the trip run so smoothly. We will definitely recommend KimKim to all of our friends and family!

We had such a great time visiting Greece. Our agent, Angela was amazing. She booked us for exactly what we wanted and was always available to answer questions. I would highly recommend to anyone wishing to travel to use Kimkim! read more
