45th anniversary trip to Crete and Rhodes
Greece
|
May 25 - Jun 5, 2023
Kimkim and most especially, Chris, planned the most wonderful trip to Crete and Rhodes for us. I spent a long time with Chris in the planning, and made some changes, but he was wonderful about being flexible. Everything worked beautifully. Transportation was easy, our hotels were amazing (really amazing), we had several excellent private walks, and many recommendations for activities to do on our own. Chris arranged rental cars for us for a few days both in Crete and Rhodes, and that was easy as well. Chris even arranged a fabulous dinner for us on the last night of our trip, which was our 45th anniversary. The attention to detail was what stood out for me. Our hosts in Chania and Rhodes were lovely and helpful. Somehow Chris managed to arrange good weather as well.
We had used kimkim once before, this was our second experience, and I'm sure it won't be our last.
Hotel Reviews
What a lovely hotel! Beautifully located, helpful staff, a lovely rooftop bar, gorgeous views... There was also a fabulous breakfast, with much of cooked by the proprietress. Breakfast was located on a beautiful terrace, covered if needed, a wonderful way to start the day. As I said, the location was fabulous, we could walk everywhere. Highly recommended.
This is a small hotel inside the walls of Rhodes town. The owners are wonderful, very welcoming and extremely helpful in helping you decide where to go and what to do. There's a lovely inner courtyard for a wonderful cooked breakfast and for later in the day. It's decorated beautifully, and is quiet inside. A lovely place to stay.
Activity Reviews
We found out things we never would have known otherwise. The pace was perfect, and the young woman who was our guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Our guide knew EVERYTHING about Rhodes. I was especially interested in the Jewish Quarter, so he started with that and probably delved into that topic more than he might have otherwise. This was a 4 hour tour, so he was good about letting us sit and rest once in a while. He even introduced us to his friend who ran a gelato shop, and we had a perfect snack about halfway through. I would recommend him for a tour for anyone, so knowledgeable.
