He was quick to respond to all my questions and was soo helpful and courteous. We could not have had a better experience. For hotels, our favorites were Monisteraki and Heliotrope. Monisteraki breakfast was so fresh and delicious. We loked the layout of the rooms with the loft. Heliotrope had such variety and their restaurant was excellent. Balcony rooms overlooking the pool and water were memorable. Skala was lovely on Patmos, within walking distance of shops and the marina. We were not at Avra long enough to appreciate it. The restaurant food was very good and it was ×within walking distance from the beach. Least favorite? Federalis due to mold in the shower and Achilles which had the least of accommodations. The driver who took us from Athens airport twice was not only a driver but a guide as well. He was very courteous and a patient driver. We had him twice for sure. I know he drove us to Achilles hotel. Again, I must say thank you, thank you to Chris who made it easy for this old lady to return to her roots. If you need a review about anything else, just reach out. I will be happy to help the next traveler.

Chris was wonderful to work with throughout the planning and booking process for our trip to Italy. He took the time to understand our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and helped guide our decisions without ever making us feel pressured in one direction or another.

Once our itinerary was finalized, the planning, coordination, and execution across the KimKim team and their travel partners were outstanding. Everything felt remarkably seamless, and we truly did not have to worry about a thing.

After arriving, we gained an even greater appreciation for all of the behind-the-scenes coordination, especially with transfers between destinations and reserved tours. Chris and our local contact, Maria, were incredibly responsive to our questions and always made sure we knew the plans for the following day, which gave us tremendous peace of mind.

The hotels were lovely and thoughtfully selected, with excellent locations that allowed us to feel more like locals than tourists.

Our favorite experiences were the private boat tour around Capri with our captains, Mario and Rafaello, and the Path of the Gods hike in Positano with Vincenzo. Those experiences created memories we will treasure for years to come.

We are so grateful to Chris, Maria, and the entire team for helping us create such a special trip.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Mignon Sorrento
Sorrento

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Mignon. The location was excellent - just a short walk from Piazza Tasso - and we loved having a market and bank nearby within walking distance, which made everything incredibly convenient. The staff were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and impeccably maintained. Every area felt clean and inviting throughout our stay - especially the dining and outdoor areas. While the rooms are not large, they are thoughtfully designed and make great use of the space. Our room was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. As Americans visiting during the summer, we especially appreciated how well the air conditioning worked! We would absolutely stay at Hotel Mignon again and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Sorrento.

Authenticity & Character
One of the things we appreciated most about Hotel Mignon was how thoughtfully the space was designed. The hotel makes excellent use of its footprint while maintaining a cohesive style throughout. For example, the entrance is a long hallway, and rather than treating it as merely functional, the hotel transformed it into a beautiful space that complements the character of the rest of the property. The dining area and outdoor spaces also felt very intentional in their design. There was an abundance of intimate seating, which created a welcoming atmosphere and made it feel like the perfect place to begin the day over breakfast or unwind in the evening. It also encouraged guests to relax and connect with one another.

The hotel was consistently well maintained, and the inviting seating areas made it easy to settle in and enjoy the surroundings.

Imperati Suites
Positano

We had a wonderful stay at Imperati Suites. While it is not located right in the middle of town, the location was still very manageable and offered a nice balance of convenience and tranquility. It is close enough to the road that arriving with luggage was easy and did not require navigating too many stairs. Getting to the beach was straightforward, with several routes to choose from. We especially enjoyed taking the longer path, which involved fewer stairs and offered beautiful views along the way, as well as plenty of restaurants and shops to explore. Katia was incredibly welcoming and always available to answer questions or help with anything we needed during our stay. Her hospitality made us feel right at home. The rooms were surprisingly spacious, exceptionally clean, and very comfortable. However, the highlight of our stay was waking up each morning to the stunning view and enjoying breakfast on the balcony. It was the perfect way to start the day and one of our favorite memories from Positano.

Palazzo Tasso
Sorrento (NA) - Italy

Finding the entrance to Palazzo Tasso was a bit confusing at first, but fortunately the hotel’s website included helpful instructions on how to access it from a nearby side street. Once we arrived, we found the location to be excellent. Tucked away on a quieter street but just steps from Piazza Tasso, it offered both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere. Palazzo Tasso is a straightforward hotel, with a reception desk and guest rooms but no common areas for socializing or relaxing. That suited us perfectly, as we stayed there toward the end of our trip and were mostly looking for a comfortable place to recharge after long days of exploring. Our room had several thoughtful features that we especially appreciated, including keyless entry with a code instead of a traditional key, a balcony overlooking the main street, a spacious shower, and a high-quality Dyson hair dryer. Those details made our stay feel both easy and comfortable. Overall, Palazzo Tasso was a great base for enjoying everything Sorrento has to offer.

Full day boat excursion to the island of Capri (Lancia Sorrentina)
Full day boat excursion to the island of Capri (Lancia Sorrentina)
Italy

This full-day boat excursion to Capri was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Having experienced it firsthand, we now fully appreciate the value of taking a private boat directly from Sorrento rather than navigating the ferry to Capri and joining a tour from there. The experience was seamless, relaxing, and allowed us to enjoy the island from an entirely different perspective. Our guides, Mario and Rafaello, struck the perfect balance of being welcoming, accommodating, and knowledgeable without ever feeling intrusive. We had already spent time exploring Capri by taxi a few days earlier, but seeing the island from the water was a completely different experience. They pointed out the various coves and took us to the quieter side of the island that we had not yet discovered. One of our favorite moments was being able to jump into the crystal-clear water and cool off during the day. The leisurely lunch on the island’s quieter side was exactly what we needed and provided a perfect break from the busier tourist areas. This excursion gave us some of our favorite memories from Italy, and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Amalfi Coast.

Private hike along the Path of Gods
Private hike along the Path of Gods
Positano

The private hike along the Path of the Gods was another highlight of our trip to Italy. Our guide, Vincenzo, was fantastic. He was engaging, easy to understand, and struck the perfect balance between sharing information and simply letting us enjoy the experience. He pointed out interesting sights along the trail, matched our pace perfectly, and shared stories about both Italian culture and his own life, which made the four-hour hike pass surprisingly quickly. We hiked from Agerola to Nocelle and then continued on to Montepertuso, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The scenery was absolutely stunning throughout. Some of our favorite moments included seeing herds of goats on the mountainside, passing residents tending their gardens, and walking the same paths that donkeys traveled centuries ago. We also loved stopping at the lemonade stand in Nocelle and seeing the walkways that locals still use to travel between Nocelle and Montepertuso. As fans of Nicki Positano’s YouTubevideos, it was especially fun to recognize many of the views and landmarks we had seen online. This is not an easy hike, so we were very glad that we brought hiking shoes and plenty of water. That said, the effort was more than worth it. After finishing the hike, lunch at Ristorante Il Ritrovo in Montepertuso was the perfect reward and a wonderful way to end an incredible experience. We would highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking to experience the Amalfi Coast beyond the beaches and town centers.

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.

Absolutely amazing location and the hospitality to match. The accommodation was perfect, and a chocolate left on our bed each night made us feel special. Great location near everything and breakfast was fantastic each morning.

Dear Leroy,

Reading your beautiful words truly made my day! I’m so honored that your 20th anniversary in Greece was filled with memorable moments, laughter, and discovery and 101,721 steps is incredible!

Thank you so much for trusting me with such an important milestone. Knowing that this journey gave you both moments to reflect, laugh, and explore together is the highest compliment I could receive. Greece has a way of inspiring the soul and I’m so happy it left its mark on yours.

Thank you again and I wish you all the very best!

Warmest wishes,
Marianna
