Here's my full review it will be lengthy. We started planning our trip with Kim Kim about 18 months in advance. Our agent was Angela. She was very thorough and helpful throughout the whole process. The original group was around 15, which eventually whittled down to three. So as you can imagine there were many adjustments that Angela handled in stride. There was a significant time difference (10 hours), and Angela always got back to me within a day with answers to any questions that I had. I'm not going to lie I was nervous that everything wouldn't be to my liking as we're a world away from Greece. Angela took care of all our travel arrangements down to the very last detail. Day 1 we arrived in Athens, our driver was waiting for us and we were able to communicate with him before stepping off the plane using what's app. Make sure you download the app, because it is the best tool for communicating with your drivers and your travel agent during your stay. We arrived at our 1st hotel with no fuss. The only hiccup was our room wasn't available at the allotted time. We were very tired from almost a 24 hour trip so this was a little frustrating. The staff did offer us free drinks and told us to explore the city a little. We were too tired so we just waited until the room was available. Other than that the staff was helpful with things to do in our area and the hotel was centrally located. Everything was within a 15 minute walk which was perfect! Our tour guide Michael on our 2nd day for our trip to Acropolis was outstanding! I became sick on the tour and he took his time and was genuinely concerned for my well-being. I appreciated that more than he'll know. He was super friendly, answered our groups questions and very knowledgeable about Athens. 10/10 as far as guides go! I highly recommend this tour if you love history. Day 3 we're off to Mykonos. Once again our driver and ferry is set up for us. What a major convenience not worrying about how to get around Greece. The ferries are quite the experience for 1st timers. You have to get in where you fit in as far as getting yourself and luggage on board and off. 😂 But once you do it that 1st time you know what to expect. We did this 3x hopping to different cities. It was quite the experience. We were booked in club level seats so we're quite comfortable during our journey (usually 1.5 -3 hour trips). I enjoyed watching the sea each time. Mykonos Princess Hotel was so beautiful! The views were spectacular and the service was top tier! The staff was excellent and they saw to our every need. We had a boat tour that was fun as well. Next was Santorini. The views, shopping, tours were my favorite! We had land and sea tours in Santorini. The panoramic tour with Santorini luxury travels was excellent! Maria our tour guide, along with her trainee Kimberly and driver Eddy were unmatched! Maria was so welcoming I felt like I was with family. She explained the history of Santorini so well she could have been a professor. It was a beautiful outdoor history lesson. I loved hearing about the culture of this beautiful city. My favorite was the next day and we had our Sunset Catamaran tour. The boat ride was incredible. The views unbelievable! The food they served delicious. That alone cinched my trip for me! We stayed at this quaint boutique hotel, Sole d'oro. The staff was amazing and attentive here as well. Each morning they served us breakfast of our choice (included with our stay) and we ate it outside on our porch. Think little cottages with a patio. The hotel was about a 10 minute walk into the heart of shopping and restaurants. Just perfect! Our last stop was Heraklion, Crete where we stayed at the Happy Cretan Suites. Now this was my favorite resort by far! We wanted our last 2 days of Greece to just be about relaxation before our long journey home. The rooms and grounds were magnificent 5 stars all the way. We never left the resort as everything we needed was provided. Live music, massages, yoga and the food was amazing. Hands down this has been the best 50th birthday trip for me and my family. I would definitely do it again. Angela thank you for guiding us through this whole process. It was an unforgettable experience for us! Perfection! ❤️🫶🏾❤️

A Truly Unforgettable Greece Experience — Thanks to Angela (Aggeliki)!

We just returned from an incredible 12-day journey through Greece, covering Athens, Naxos, Santorini, Paros, and back to Athens — and wow, what a trip! From the moment we started planning with Angela (Aggeliki), we knew we were in great hands.

She carefully crafted a beautiful, balanced itinerary that combined just the right mix of guided experiences and free time to explore. We absolutely loved the food tour in Naxos, the mythology tours, wine tasting in Naxos, the catamaran cruise in Santorini, and the cooking class in Paros. Each experience felt curated and authentic.

We did have to cancel our private rib boat cruise in Paros (sadly!), but based on everything else Angela put together, we know it would have been amazing. Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned — especially with travel — and that’s where Angela truly shined. When our flights were disrupted at the beginning of the trip (through no fault of KimKim), she stepped in immediately and helped us adjust everything so we could still make the most of our time. Her responsiveness, calm demeanor, and problem-solving were invaluable.

Every transfer, hotel, and activity went off without a hitch. The people, the food, the landscapes — it all exceeded our expectations. And behind it all was Angela, ensuring we had the trip of a lifetime.

Highly recommend using KimKim and especially working with Angela. We’re so grateful for the memories and already dreaming of our next adventure!

I can summarize our trip to Greece in one word, "outstanding". Angela (Aggeliki) worked with us for many weeks over an eight month period putting an itinerary together for our three week trip. We started with a preliminary outline and over time with Angela's guidance we refined our trip to accommodate our interest. As architects and builders our focus were on architectural sites, historical references, time on the water and embracing the Greek culture. We put our trust in Angela to help pick out daily tours to fulfill our interests. To summarize our itinerary we started in Athens-two nights, day trip to Hydra. Flew to Paros for four nights with day trips to Iso and Antiparos via private boat and captain. Ferry to Naxos for two nights, ferry to Santorini for three nights, ferry to Heraklion (Crete) for four nights, Chania for two nights and back to Athens for two nights. On each island Angela set us up with amazing tours with spectacular well educated local tour guides. We learned so much about the architecture, foods, history of Greece, culture, etc. Our guided tours took us to many small villages and ruins on each island that most tourist do not have the time to experience. Our guides had personal relationships with most of the restaurant owners in the small villages in the islands back country areas. The host's were so gracious, inundating us with massive amounts of local culinary treats. I think we actually ate our way through Greece. Over three weeks we had one or two bumps in the road based on our schedule and Angela was so easy to make contact with. Either through the Kimkim site or Whatsapp she always responded and solved any situation that arose. One of the best features was that Angela would send us all our ferry passes for each excursion and there was always an on time driver to pick us up at the airport, ferry or hotel to take us to our next destination. Not being familiar with the country, this was extremely comforting. All the drivers were very friendly and always made us feel comfortable. To top off our trip Angela really stepped up her game and was able to satisfy one desire while in Athens. She obtained tickets to the Roman amphiteater, Odeon of Herodes Atticus completed in 161 AD at the base of the Acropolis to see the Puccini-Turandot opera. What a way to end a trip. I highly recommend Angela, she was always so supportive and engaging. Our trip to Greece was absolutely fantastic.

Galaxy Hotel Naxos
Naxos

Galaxy Hotel was our least favorite hotel during our trip to Greece. Rooms and bathrooms were extremely small but that is typical for Greece and most of Europe. The hotel has been renovated but they could have done a better job. The hotel shared a common pool and breakfast area with a newer hotel wing. We would have preferred to stay in the newer building. We had a lower floor (pool level) room and on the last morning a floor drain in the hallway overflowed and water came into our room. Things happen so we didn't make to much of a deal about it. Luckily we were leaving that morning and had everything packed. We only stayed two nights, we were comfortable but we would have preferred to stay somewhere else.

Happy Cretan Suites
Malevizi, Crete

The hotel is top notch. Unfortunately it is a forty-five minute drive from Heracklion, the heart of Crete. The hotel buffet breakfast by the pool deck was beautiful with a full view of the ocean. The rooms are well designed and very comfortable. Since most of our excursions were to the east we would have preferred to stay on the east side of the island before going to our second destination of Chania on the farwest side of the island. Since the hotel is centrally located you need a car to go anywhere. We took a taxi down the hill to the seaside village for dinner two times. The hotel overall is a beautiful design, quiet and very relaxing. If you are use to going out at night to shop or just walk around like we did on the islands of Naxos and Paros, this location is not for you. There is nothing around but other hotels and houses.

The hotel offers a beach bag with towels for your use for the beach. The manager George was so helpful with anything we needed. The roof top pool deck was so wonderful.

This place was amazing. Our host explained that history behind our apartment style accommodations. At one time it was a cave and in the late 1980's renovations took place and the front living room and second floor bedroom and roof deck were added. The apartment had a full kitchen and two bathrooms. The views from both the lower and upper roof decks were amazing. Full view of the Caldera. Our location was in the middle of the village of Imerovigli which was quite and relaxing. Most of the tourist venture to Fira to the east and Oia to the west. This location was in between so it was quiet and not the throngs of tourist walking by. Our host cooked us breakfast every morning based on our likes. The food was fantastic. The location was an easy fifteen minute walk to Fira and other points of interest. A number of grocery stores and restaurants were less than a five minute walk away. Great accommodations, access and service. It was our best stay while in Greece.

Ivis 4 Boutique Hotel
Athens

Mixed feelings on our stay at Ivis 4. Our room was wonderful and the location was easy walking distance to the Psyri area, market place and other locations of interest. The pictures in the marketing brochures show a roof deck with great views of the Acropolis. When we opened the curtains to our second floor room, our balcony view was of a two story abandoned building that was falling apart. When I inquired about our room location and asked about the views of the Acropolis I was told that room is a large suite on the top floor. The first night we arrived we were going to bed and there was loud music from the adjacent restaurants around the corner. I called down to the desk to inquire about when the noise would subside. I was told "around 2:00 am, because it was from the local bars". The desk person asked me if I wanted ear plugs. That was not a good sign. The second night was not as bad. Maybe our first night was just one of those nights. The breakfast was by menu only, not buffet like most hotels. The food was very good though. The hotel lobby and bar area is very comfortable and the front desk staff was very helpful with questions. To sum up our stay, I would say if you want a quiet place to sleep, this isn't the best location. The hotel was very nice, clean and in a good location, just not what we expected.

I cannot say enough great things about Aggeliki and the trip to Greece she planned for me and my childhood best friend. My friend and I had been talking about doing this trip for 40 years, since we were just barely teenagers and finally were able to do it at 54 and 55 years old!

That being said, you can understand why I needed this trip to be exactly what we imagined and Aggeliki nailed it! I interviewed four different travel agencies and Aggeliki really listened to my vision of what we wanted to see and do as well as the vibe and pace of the trip.

We had four locations (Athens, Milos, Santorini and Crete) so four different hotels, and they were all perfect in their own way from location to amenities and more. Every time we arrived at a hotel we were so happy and I would say, “Wow! Our travel agent really knows the best places in each area!” She was communicative throughout the whole trip making sure we got our ferry transfers and had the drivers communicate with us and honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever had a trip go more perfectly.

We even had to change plans at one point and she handled that seamlessly! I have already referred her to a few of my friends and will continue to do so!

We stayed in a suite on the 3rd floor and had a beautiful view of the acropolis from our balcony. The location was busy, which was perfect for us because we were able to walk to most every area we wanted to visit. If you prefer less hustle and bustle, you might not want to stay in the Plaka neighborhood. But once we walked through the hotel doors, we were in a quiet, cozy environment. The breakfast was lovely and we had an amazing stay.

Nicholas and his grandmother created a wonderful stay for us in Santorini. The room was lovely and accommodated our family of four. The balcony was perfect, creating some extra space for us all to enjoy! It was a short 5-minute walk to the beach, ships, and restaurants. Being in Kamari was a great experience - we were able to rent a car easily through Nicholas at the front desk and drive to Fira (15 minutes) and Oia (20 minutes) to experience the larger villages and shopping, but come back to the less crowded side of the island for our evening.

Anna and Joanna made our stay so lovely. The Naxian Rhapsody villas are adjacent to the Naxian Utopia and both are owed by the same family - three sisters who represent the next generation in charge of the hotel. The hotel is outside of the village of Chora and a car is necessary if you don't want to be beholden to taxis, but we loved returning to our little oasis. Our villa was huge - two bedrooms and a large living space for our family of four. The sisters were able to provide great recommendations for beaches and restaurants and also helped us reserve a car for our time on the island.

The Milos guide Michael was fabulous as was our kayak guide (husband and wife) on Naxos. It was a rescheduled kayak tour and I am so grateful we were scheduled for this one.
Angela is a must and the best!! Always emanating kindness she went above and beyond each and every time.

Honestly, it was a dream holiday and one we will not forget, in part by Angela's confidence and trustworthiness. The experience allowed my stress levels the stay low and just enjoy!
Because Greece...we will be back!

We were actually only in this hotel for about 6 hours as we had an early flight. It had character, but was too small for us to want to stay there for multiple days.

We had a great trip to Greece with the help of Aggeliki. She really took our plans to heart and built a trip that maximized our time there! We wanted to make sure we saw as much as we could and our private tours were great. Maybe I should have even trusted her when she said we should plan another half day on our own but we loved what we saw. One addition we would add is to hike up Filapappous Hill and see the city and the Acropolis from another perspective. It was a great trip. Read more

O&B was great for traveling with our 2 adult kids. We liked its convenience to everything and especially Psirri where we thought the restaurants were great and more authentic than in the city center. The surrounding area is not top end but the accommodations were super updated and they had superb free breakfast each morning. I would stay here again!

There’s not a lot like this location nestled in the side of the mountain of Santorini. Be aware that you will have to walk up and down LOTS of stairs. It was fine for us but we reminded ourselves not to bring our 85y/o parents.

Our guide was wonderful but I wasn’t as interested in the mythology as the real history. She did a good job making sure that happened. She also gave us the recommendation to go to Fillapappous Hill which we really enjoyed.

Even with a rainy day, this was still excellent. One note: DO THE MUSEUM BEFORE you do the walk up Delphi. Our private guide knew a lot but I think the museum is well worth it.

The individualized boutique hotels were absolutely wonderful. Only challenge from time to time were the steps to get to the enjoyable hotel rooms. Santorini biggest challenge. But oh, the reward of the Elite Rooms! The tours of Athens and Corinth were wonderful, local food suggestions from hotels or local folks were all wonderful.
The hotel in Athens was nice and quiet but was so isolated on small street our transportation vans had a hard time getting down the street. Glad we didn't have to drive.
Got to experience the Sahara sandstorm one day! Fun but for the Cretans a challenge.
Wonderful experience the final evening with the Greek Cooking class and eating the food and tasting the wine! And oh, the wine, cheese, yogurt, baklava, figs, olives - What can we say! Thanks Angelia!! Would let you plan our next trip somewhere in this world!!
