Wonderful trip to Greece in November. We were initially concerned about visiting Greece outside of the main tourist season, but November is the only month our schedules permit visiting. Our Kim Kim local specialist Angela immediately put our concerns to rest and crafted the perfect trip. The weather cooperated with sunny and warm days and temperate evenings. Our itinerary included Athens, Crete, and Santorini.

Athens was alive with people, but not overcrowded. Angela picked great accommodations that were clean, comfortable, and perfectly situated. We did the Mythology tour including the Acropolis, with Alternative Athens that was astonishing. The Plaka Sunset tour with Greek Cocktails was a particularly interesting as not only was our guide Vanessa charming and informative, she took us to areas with fascinating history and breathtaking views at sunset. Not to mention the cocktails she selected were unique and delicious!

If we had to pick a highlight of the trip it was Crete. We stayed in Rethymno which is a near perfectly preserved medieval town with an abundance of history and ancient alleyways lined with restaurants and shops. Angela arranged two tours highlighting the history of the island and civilization, combined with local experiences to gain an understanding of the historical significance of the island we barely knew existed. Our tour guides Joanna and Ioanna in company with Nikos our driver, are wonderful people who provided an abundance of fascinating history. We visited small villages, traveled winding roadways with panoramic vistas, and ate fabulous meals of local delicacies all at the recommendation of our incredible guides. We made memories that will last our lifetimes.

Our final stop was Santorini, which was the only destination where it was noticeable that it was not high season. However quiet, it did not detract from the natural beauty of the island. Our stay at Blue Dolphins was as comfortable as every other accommodation Angela booked us into. It was an absolute pleasure to take the All Time Classic Santorini tour with Elena without having to contend with summertime crowds. We visited the Akrotiri archeological site, red beach, black beach where we had a seaside lunch, wine tasting, then ending the day viewing a stunning sunset.

We travel frequently, and this is the first time we used a travel agency faced with the complexity of a visit to Greece. It was a great value and all we had to do was relax and enjoy not having been belabored with planning. We are tremendously satisfied customers and it will certainly not be our last experience with Kim Kim!

Ioanna our tour guide is a true historian and kept us fully engaged with fascinating historical details as well as present day facts about Crete and its culture. We deviated a bit from the scheduled itinerary based upon her recommendation which turned into a truly memorable day. We learned about the history of Rethymno (where we were staying) which is a near perfectly preserved medieval town. Ioana brought the history of Crete and its civilizations to life with her extensive knowledge as we visited a bustling local village and traveled winding roadways with panoramic vistas. We toured a olive oil factory and enjoyed fabulous meals of local delicacies all at the recommendation of our incredible guide. Nikos was our driver again and brought even more charm (and Raki) to the experience than he did the day before.

The passion about the history of Crete combined with the knowledge of our guide made this a truly special day.

From Athens to Santorini, to Crete, we saw many beautiful, historical, and cultural sites, making it tough to pick one memorable moment. Honestly, a positive tone was set from the very beginning with the pickup up at the airport in Athens. Our first guide in Athens was Michael, and he was followed by Haris. Both very outgoing, and very knowledgeable. The Monasteries at Meteora were simply breathtaking, although the bus ride, at least the return, was a bit much. I wish I could remember the guide’s name (he was Canadian I believe), but he too was knowledgeable and personable. On to the views and Blue Domes of Santorini, where after much discussion, my wife and I decided our most memorable experience was the Catamaran trip, and a day on the Sea. We both love the water, whether it be a Lake, a Sea, or an Ocean. A great time for sure. Our other day-trip on Santorini was also worthy of a thumbs up. On to Crete, and what can you say about Crete? The Catamaran excursion aside, my wife and I were both an awe of Crete. From the blue seas, to the majestic mountains, to the charming villages, to the rich history and culture, Crete had it all. We were blessed to have an extremely knowledgeable and likable guide in Alexander all three days. So while the Catamaran was indeed our #1 memorable experience, Crete simply “rocked” from the very beginning. It has to be mentioned how the entire experienced was well choreographed. By that I mean every person involved doing their part by simply being at the right place at the right time. Our departure from Crete started with a 4:45 am pickup, and that kind gentleman was actually early!

City Lion
Heraklion Crete

If you desire a stay in Heraklion, this is a good option. It’s with walking distance of dozens of restaurants and bars, and dozens of dessert and coffee options. Also an easy walk to the waterfront.

Cleanliness & Comfort

Blue Dolphins Apartments & Suites
Firostefani, Santorini

This was a tough one to review. The views were absolutely amazing, as was the morning breakfast served right outside your door. Our room (101), was loated next to a room with a common wall that was “paper-thin.” On the night of a major storm, they appeared to use this room as a secondary office to allow people whose flight was severely delayed to check-in. This went on to 23:00 hours, and we know this could you could literally hear every word. My wife had an unfortunate fall on the wet stairs leading away from the common area in front of our room. Fortunately she only sustained a very nasty bruise. But I have to acknowledge the staff being very courteous and approachable. Very helpful. We did not tell the staff about the fall however.

Authenticity & Character
The character was in the decor.

If you want views, this is the place.

11 Enteka Acropolis Suites
Athens – Acropoli

The 11 Enteka Acropolis gets high marks for location, cleanliness. It was also quiet. The room was basic, but modern and clean. Their website advertised breakfast which was not accurate. Although it appears they did update their site, there remained an entry near the bottom that said, “Breakfast 8-11”

Authenticity & Character
The authenticity is in the name. We also like to stay in locally owned and operated accommodations.
Location
All the meeting places were within an easy walk. We took the Metro to catch the bus to Meteora, and the Metro Station was literally around the corner.
Staff
Our interaction was ilimited, but both individuals we interacted with were kind and helpful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
It helps this was a new property because it easily displays this. But the staff also appears to work hard to keep both the rooms and the common areas clean.

With the completion of this experience, we had been from one side of Crete, to the other. We went from the Minoans to the Venetians in the history books. As with other excursions, small towns, very few people, and with a knowledgeable guide, simply makes for a better experience.

And how amazing it was to descend into the Cave of Zeus. As with the day before, having someone like Alexander at our disposal makes all the difference. I also can’t complete this review without adding the lunch at Taverna Kourites. A small village, a great restaurant, an extraordinary host, added to the grand experience.

My only complaint on this trip was the closure of the Monastery and the inability to actually take a boat ride out to Spinalonga Island. There appeared to be no real reason why. But overall, the trip was a wonderful experience. I’m a history nut, so walking among the ruins of the ancient Minoan civilization, was an experience worth remembering. Our guide, Alexander, knows all the “nooks and crannies” of Crete, so we knew we were in good hands. Oh, and also, it was very cool to see a 4000 year old Olive tree.

The Monasteries were truly amazing, breathtaking and memorable. The drivers and guides was knowledgeable and engaging. The “downer” on this trip involved Mother Nature intervening, causing a change in plans from a train ride to a bus ride. For us, the return bus ride was not something to behold, and probably something we won’t likely forget. We had to ladies in front of us. As we began to pull out and head “home”, one rudely reclined her seat all the way back into my wife’s lap, and when asked politely to consider moving it back up halfway, rudely declined. On top of that, my wife woke up the next morning with some rash on the back of her left leg, that we can only assume was picked up on the ride home.

We had the most fabulous 60's birthday celebration trip to Greece in late Sept and it would not have been nearly as fun, relaxed, and well coordinated if Angela at Kim Kim had not helped us. She was so fantastic in making sure we comfortable with all that she chose for us, she was attentive during the trip, checking on us and problem solving along the way. There was not much to problem solve because she planned the trip with such care for us that almost nothing went wrong. I have already referred at least 3 people to her and will continue to do so. She was amazing.

As for the trip, we visited Athens and had an extremely knowledgable tour guide the took through the weaving streets of Athens filling us with history along the way. On to Milos for a lovely day long catamaran that took us to the most spectacular water! The accommodations at the Dome White Caste pools was so lovely and the food was amazing. The staff went out of their way to make us feel at home.

Next on to Naxos and the highlight of this island was its laid back feel, culinary delights and kind people. Our tour took us to a lovely homestead farm where we cooked a meal with a lovely couple. I was so amazing the hospitality these folks showed us. Just lovely. The only thing about the tour in Naxos was that we were to go to an Olive Oil factory and we were very much looking forward to it, but it did not happen.

Last spot Santorini. A truly beautiful island and the Oia Mansion was to die for accommodations. The only warning I would give folks is that even in late Sept/early Oct, it was very crowded. On one day, there were 5+ cruise ships and frankly walking down the street was impossible. Luckily we had a spectacular roof top to hide from the crowds!

All in all, a wonderful trip made possible and even more fantastic by Angela and her Kim Kim team. I will definitely be using them again and again for my travel needs.

Working with Angela for our 15 day trip to Greece was easy, informative, carefree and absolutely wonderful! Angela was very good at pointing us in the direction we needed or redirecting when needed.... She provided us with affordable tours, activities, adventures, transfer service and more She steered us away from areas that were not suitable for us, or events that were not that the best choices, or accommodations that were perhaps not the best quality. While we were vacationing in in Greece she continued to check in to make sure everything was OK, and helped us reschedule activities when the weather did not cooperate. Overall our vacation was fabulous... a great mix of historical/ educational activities, balanced with suggestions for our down time. We spent 4 days in Athens, 5 days in Paris and 5 days in Santorini. Each location was great for touring, shopping, eating, exploring. The hotels were located in nice areas close to local activities, food and wine was beyond great, shopping was incredible. I can go on for pages. Bottom line is Angela helped use immensely so that we all had a wonderful stress free vacation. I am hooked on Angela and Kimkim and am already planning the next adventure.

Hotel Reviews
Kalypso Hotel
Paros

WOW is all I can say. And I really do not know where to start.... This boutique hotel and the staff exceeded my expectations in every aspect possible way... I actually teared up when it was time to leave. It felt like a slice of heaven for me. First, the hotel is beyond charming... located on an ocean front beach in a quiet area. The building itself has a beautiful whitewashed exterior framed by abundant bougainvillea. Everything you might expect in a Greek hotel. The common areas were plentiful and inviting, with lots of space to curl up with a good book, or to lounge in the sun or to share a drink with friends... Also had a small but very adequate a spa area with hot tub, sauna, massage service, etc I noticed that all areas of the hotel, hallways, all windows, bedrooms, floors, walls etc were being cleaned washed continuously... every single day. The place could not be any cleaner. The morning breakfast buffet was ridiculous.... fit for a king.... everything from eggs, ham, sausage, cheeses, danishes, croissants, mini feta & spinach rolls, yogurt, fresh fruit, gourmet breads with jams and Nutella spreads, granola, cereal, baclava (yes... baclava for breakfast) coffee, cappuccino, and more more more. Expect to put on a few pounds- and remember you only live once. There is also an adequately stocked bar area that opens to the sandy beach and water... a cozy place for afternoon drinks or a quick bite to eat. The bedrooms are spacious and beyond clean, with comfortable beds and soft linens. It appears that each unit has a small private balcony overlooking the ocean. Bathrooms were updated and spacious enough that you could actually move around in. The entire staff was beyond friendly, always smiling, always willing to help; to show you how to use the espresso machines, (and to clean up your mess when the silly gringo caused the machine to overflow) to offer suggestions for restaurants, tours, activites etc. The location was a 15 minute walk to the s "downtown" area... loaded with shops, boutique clothing stores, trinkets/ local art and jewelry, every type of restaurant, boating/ water activities , etc. It was wonderful to be able to stroll through the cobbled streets and look at/ purchase the local treasures. All in this place deserves a 10++++ rating... there may be other accommodations available, but this one simply felt like home. I definitely, without a doubt, would stay here again.

We are so extremely happy with our experience that my parents are now using her to plan their Greece trip! Highly recommend using Angela, you won’t regret it!

I am really sorry to read that you did not enjoy the Traditional Villages tour in Santorini. The tour got out of schedule not due to the groups' size but due to some construction work done on the roads of the island making it impossible to pass by some of the streets and had to follow another route trying to keep as many of the sites in the schedule.
I know that is a true bummer and we did not know about the construction as the local municipality decided do to so without informing anyone which is odd cause there are still many people visiting the island.
I am sorry about that, honestly.

We would love to see you coming back soon and I already have your next trip in mind. I am sure that the girls and you will love Crete Island! 😀

Extremely happy and satisfied with the service provided by Angela.

To begin with feedback

The first 2 executive (Ioannis Antoniadis and Dimitrios) whom we interacted were not as per our expectations..as one was not patient and didn't had time assist us and the other one provided incorrect information ,forced us to proceed with the itinerary which he liked.

Finally,After escalating to kimkim team we were contacted by Angela...who was very prompt and helpful.

I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the incredible travel experience  provided by Angela.

From start to finish, it was an adventure that exceeded all my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better tour operator to make it all happen.

First and foremost, your attention to detail was remarkable. The itinerary you crafted was not only comprehensive but also perfectly tailored to my interests. Every day was filled with breathtaking sights, leaving no room for boredom.

The accommodations you selected were top-notch. Each hotel  was not only comfortable but also strategically located, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the beauty of each destination.

I was particularly impressed by your commitment and professionalism in all the matters.

Moreover, the level of customer service I received was outstanding. From the moment I inquired about the trip to the final farewell, you were attentive, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate my requests.

All the guides and drivers except the one who dropped us to ferry to mykonos were very professional.

In conclusion, my journey with kimkim was nothing short of spectacular. It was an adventure filled with unforgettable memories,  Thank you for turning my dream trip into a reality.

I look forward to traveling with KimKim again in the future and will enthusiastically recommend your services to friends and family who share a passion for exploration.

Warm regards,

The hotel was clearly not finished in construction - it had the needful - but left some things to be desired. If this was a year from now, I bet I'd give it a 4+ star.

Authenticity & Character
Breakfast was good and Greek oriented, but lunch/dinner type food options were extremely lacking. We didn't want a sandwich and chips or salad, but some authentic Greek food options so had to walk to nearby restaurants to order take-away. The overall vibe will be great someday - music a bit too loud though.

Beach staff probably could have been more helpful.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Rooms were clean, very nice aesthetic and space. Unfinished areas reduce this score a bit, maybe a year from now better. Also, with wanting windows open and no screens, we did have more bugs in the room than I'd prefer. But, the reason is obvious - we wanted the windows open.

At the top of our favorite list - the ambiance was wonderful, the cooking class was extremely fun to get such an interaction and the very good wine was flowing heavy with a tremendous amount of good food to eat at the end. For obvious practical reasons (we are drinking a lot of wine), the level of cooking that we did was pretty simplistic. But, that left me able to watch and talk to be engaged and learn without having to focus on my hands.

Overall Angela was stellar and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip! 😃

Here’s the breakdown of what we did as a group of 4.

Review of Our Trip to Greece -

Working with Angela was an absolute pleasure! She was great from the very beginning. We had a bit of back and forth confirming the number of people that were coming, which islands we wanted to go to and what we were going to do. She was very patient the entire time providing suggestions and solutions each step of the way, and readily available for contact from our initial conversation up until we were back from our vacation.

First stop -Athens! - everything was great! The hotel Milo’s def felt like we were in a 5 star hotel with the service and the the room/ hotel itself.
The location of the hotel was great, very central! We were able to walk to everywhere that we wanted to go. There was an abundance of restaurants and stores all within a short walking distance.

On our second day we took part in an Athens Highlights Mythology Tour that was scheduled as part of our trip. We were part of a small group of about 15 total.
Our tour guide made the entire time very enjoyable. She spoke very passionately when relaying the myths and was very engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Next up- Mykonos!

The front desk at Milos very kindly offered to have to-go breakfast boxes ready for us when we told them the night before that we would be leaving early the next morning.

Ferry tickets were taken care of from we confirmed the trip - something to take note of as they sell out quickly and need to be bought in advance. Angela also checked us in the day day before so we just had to present our boarding passes when boarding. We were picked up with sufficient time to get there and not feel rushed to board - overall it’s a process and experience! But that seems to just be the nature of taking ferries between the islands.

We arrived in Mykonos and were quickly in our transfer to home number 2, The George Hotel.
We were greeted by friendly staff and pleasantly surprised to find out that we were able to check in about to 2-3 hours early.
The property is a boutique hotel with a sun deck area and swimming pools with beautiful views that give you that “I’m in Mykonos” feel.
Plaits Gialos, one of the best beaches on the island is less than 5 mins away, there are also various restaurants to try along the strip of the beach.
For Mykonos we had opted to have the two days free.
On the first day the hotel arranged a taxi for us to go Mykonos Town and the second we went to the hotel’s sister property- right across the road in the morning to enjoy the beach, followed by lunch at the pool, in the afternoon a taxi was arranged for us to go to Tropicana Beach club.
I was a bit nervous about finding taxis in Mykonos based on blogs, but thanks to the hotel arranging, we had no issues getting around.

Next up - Santorini!
Our transfer to the hotel from the port was about 30 mins.

Mardanza Exclusive located in, Imerovigli is a self catering accommodation.

Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff who took us to our rooms and explained communication and some key points about the property to us. You contact the staff through WhatsApp, there is no front desk.
Each room/ villa has its own private pool with a beautiful view of the Aegean Sea - not caldera side.

We ordered lunch to have at the villa, very yummy and big portions.

Dinner was at Le Moustache, which provided a lovely sunset, less than a 10 min drive away. The staff arranged for our taxi to take us there.

There is a restaurant Tasos at the top of the hill/ main road that is open for dinner that is a 7 min walk from the property. The walk is not bad in the daylight hours, but would not recommend walking at night bc of the steepness and darkness to get back .

After visiting Oia, I had more of an appreciation for staying at Mardanza and away from the hustle and bustle. This comes with its pros and cons based one where you want to go. The taxi was $45 euros each way to Oia so didn’t make it as appealing to go back out there once at the hotel.

Our last day was the Sunset catamaran cruise, which did not disappoint.
The stops were nice and sufficiently timed for quick breaks, meals were catered to preference, staff was friendly. Wonderful way to take in the beautiful views of the Caldera rim ending in Ammoudi Bay.

Overall we had an amazing trip and it was a pleasure working with Angela! Would def recommend for anyone looking to book their trip to Greece

This was our first experience with kimkim. We started with some hesitation. However with Angela's help, we had an amazing experience from the beginning to the end.

During planning, Angela was responsive and patient. She listened to our needs, made recommendations and was also flexible responding to our further questions. Once the trip was coming to a shape, Angela made sure we had all the details, checked in with us and remained in touch throughout. She even helped to call the domestic airline sort out the domestic flights we booked ourselves. Right before the trip, Angela made sure we had her contact information.

As soon as we landed in Greece, Angela reached out to check on us which definitely exceeded the expectation. The tours book were exactly as described. All drivers and tour guides were extremely professional. They were on time, patient with us, attended series of questions we had, walked with us everywhere and entertained us with all kinds of stories. We had tour guides who studied history and archaeology, retired university professor. Their extensive knowledge made our vacation special.

Throughout the vacation, Anglea constantly checked on us, made sure we were okay and had no concerns or questions. On the last day, she did not forget to wish us a safe trip back. Even though we never met, we felt we have known Angela for a long time. We had a once in a lifetime vacation and highly recommend Angela and her team!

First and foremost, Angela was fantastic. She listened to what we were interested in and did not just do the standard greek itinerary. She was very responsive to our questions and always very professional even when we asked the same question twice. She also was super responsive during the trip when we had questions the day of - - she typically responded within minutes. As someone who travels quite a bit, I appreciated her approach and attention to detail.

In terms of the trip, we are not big fans of looking at historical stuff. We are more nature, wildlife and beach people. Having said that:

- we flew into Athens and landed around noon local time. We checked into our hotel and walked around to Zeus' temple and the parliment for the changing of the guard. We then did an organized tour of the Parthenon, which was great. We liked the tour guide and he was very informative. There is also a large museum at the base that I am sure would of been interesting to visit, but we skipped it in favor of island time.

- we loved milos.. Angela recommended it after listening to what we were interested in. It is not as touristy or crowded as the other islands but has a ton of picture perfect beaches. we rented a car (note the streets are very narrow, so be forewarned) and had a great time. We did the catamaran cruise which we loved - fantastic. we also did a 3 hour see kayak tour - we liked it as well, but it is not for everyone as it can be moderately strenuous.

- we enjoyed santorini. the buildings built into the cliffs are something to see and the views are fantastic. The shops and restaurants are nice, but duplicative. We are not big dress up for pictures people or bigger shoppers so although beautiful, Santorini is probably a once in a lifetime visit for us. We did a hummer tour which was nice - drive to various picture spots and then a nice lunch. We also did a catamaran. Other than the beautiful sunset at the end, it was good but not great compared to the milos one.

None of these critiques are about Angela or even Greece, but just observations to help you plan the trip.

This 14 days in Greece was a dream come true, thanks to Angela “Aggeliki” Giannioti, who created a WONDERFUL trip plan for us, and whom we could rely on throughout our Greek adventure. This adventure started with three days exploring the rich life of modern Athens, cradled among mythology and a wealth of antiquity. On our first full day in Athens our boutique hotel booked dinner for us at Oizontes at the top of Lycabettus – the highest point in Athens – presenting us with the most breath-taking panoramic view over all of Athens. Many things were wonderful about this trip, but of special note is, that as spectacularly beautiful as are the islands, cities, villages, landscapes and seascapes – as well as the many trip-plan activities such as boating excursions in Santarini and Paros and touring sites of historical interest (visiting the frescos and excavation of 1700 BC Minoan Akrotiri really stands out) – it was the great warmth and kindness of the Greek people with whom we interacted that truly was the buried treasure of this KimKim trip and the heart and soul of our Greek vacation. Greatly valued and appreciated were our always punctual guides and drivers, their genuine warmth and very useful tips. In Santorini, it was our upbeat guide ‘Leftherios who went above and beyond to show us villages that were off the planned track, but who nevertheless kept us on time as he added personal insights of interest to the tours. Without a tip from our driver in Noxos, we would have missed the unmissable – bouzouki music and dancing at Flamingo! Our guide to Greek cooking lessons on Noxos was informative and personable and an invaluable translator. And Petros, our 3-day guide through and from Nafplio, worked a miracle to get tickets to a production of Euripides’ Hippolytus, tirelessly aided me in my quest for jars of giant Greek capers and caper leaves, and made possible a side trip to ancient Corinth on our drive back to Athens. 5 stars to Angela and our trip plan, executed without a hitch. I’d certainly love to work with her on my next trip to see more of the Greek mainland and Crete!

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing an extraordinary trip to Greece, all thanks to the exceptional trip planning service provided by KimKim Travel. From the moment we made the decision to explore the captivating Mediterranean destination, they took charge of every detail, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable adventure.

The planning process was well thought out. Filippa was incredibly responsive and attentive, and tailored the itinerary to our preferences and interests. She really listened to what we wanted and created a perfect balance of historical exploration, breathtaking landscapes, and a vast of authentic Greek culture.
Accommodations were a crucial aspect of the trip and the quality and selection were wonderful. The hotels were strategically located and had easy access to attractions. Most of our hotels offered a delicious breakfast, setting the tone for the day ahead.
Another aspect that stood out was the diversity of experiences arranged for us. We savored delectable local cuisine during our cooking class, sipped fine Greek wine at a local winery while watching the sunset and basked in the beauty of the caldera during a beautiful sunset cruise in Santorini.
Transportation was well-coordinated, and we never had to worry about missing a connection. From domestic flights to ferry rides between islands, everything ran smoothly, ensuring we made the most of our limited time.
Throughout the journey Angela, from the KimKim team, maintained constant communication, ensuring that we were satisfied with every aspect of the trip.
If you are considering a trip to Greece we recommend KimKim. Their expertise and professionalism make them a truly outstanding travel service.
Thank you, Filippa and Angela, for making our trip to Greece a wonderful adventure.
