Amazing trip to Greece
Greece
|
Sep 18 - Oct 1, 2025
Our trip to Greece was amazing. I would not have changed a thing. Aggekili did a fabulous job of listening to what we liked and wanted to do and planned the perfect trip. Before the trip she kept us updated and tweaked any changes we wanted to make. During the trip she kept us informed, checked in on how things were, and helped us as needed. We loved every hotel, every city/island, every transport driver, and every excursion and guide that we had. We had just the right mix of relaxation, history, and culture. Although we loved everywhere we went, Naxos and Crete were probably our favorites. Can't wait to plan another trip with KimKim and hope to go back to Greece in the future to try some other islands we did not make it to and maybe revisit some. The people, the food, the landscape of Greece will be missed.
Hotel Reviews
This hotel was centrally located. We were able to walk to every place we wanted to visit. The view from the rooftop of the Acropolis was amazing both in the day and night. Great breakfast buffet on the rooftop with lots of choices every morning.
Amazing hotel. The staff was so kind. We even did the vineyard experience with the owner, Dimitris, and met most of the family. Breakfast was very good with large portions. Everything was very clean. Loved having our own pool, but used the main pool too. The whole place was beautiful to look at. Short walk to beach and tavernas.
Great location. Walkable to everything. Loved the look of the entry way and the breakfast area. We had a room with the private rooftop terrace. So nice to sit in the hot tub and see the city around us. Staff very kind. We had an early flight, so they even boxed up a breakfast for us to take with us. The breakfast was very good and had large portions.
The view is worth every penny. We had gone out to eat for the sunset view and found out that the view from here was just as stunning. Breakfast was very good and plenty. It was nice to sit in the outdoor pool and watch the people and donkeys go by on the sidewalk below. There are a lot of steps, but worth the view. The staff is great. I wouldn't want to carry that luggage and they do it as if it is nothing. Rafail, the manager, had great suggestions and was very helpful. It is centrally located to the shops, and tavernas.
Hotel had such a relaxing feel. It was so nice to have our own private pool and lounge chairs. Also very easy to take the hotel shuttle to their private beach with food and beverage service. The food at Anasa was some of the best food I had. We ate there for dinner both nights. The breakfast buffet had a ton of choices. The staff was very helpful and helped arrange transport into the city for us.
Activity Reviews
Helen was a great guide. She was so informational. The earpieces helped being able to hear when other people were around. It did get a little crowded with people near the gate.
Jenny was so sweet, easy to talk to, and fun. She picked us up at our hotel and we walked to a wine bar first. The wine and pairings were great and Jenny and the staff explained each very well. We then went to a restaurant that we would have never found on our own. Jenny ordered the some delicious dishes I would never have ordered on my own. Last we went to a rooftop bar that had great drinks, amazing views, and a great vibe. She even gave us other ideas for the rest of our stay in Athens and for the other islands we were going to.
Maria was so sweet and took us to some hidden gems. We also walked around and learned lots of history. We visited a wine bar. Had some great wines and cheeses. Nikko, our waiter. even brought us a special treat since we were on an anniversary trip. We also went to a great restaurant in a beautiful courtyard. Maria ordered some yummy local dishes. There was so much food, we could only eat a portion of it. Maria even emailed me a digital copy of a cookbook she had written. We stayed a little longer and walked around on our own and went to cute bar.
George was great. So kind, and informational. He also had beers, waters, and sandwiches for us on the boat. The boat was the perfect size for us and the landscapes and sea were beautiful. The water was a little cold, but very refreshing. We loved Koufonisi. It was so quaint and quiet.
Beautiful sunset view on rooftop. The food and service were great too. Loved the grilled salad and bread.
Marina was a great guide and Vasilis was a great driver. Got to walk around Oia and see the blue domes. We then went to the wine museum. It was very interesting and informational, but had very outdated special effects and scenes. The wine tasing was yummy. Then we went to the Monastery, the Megalochori Village and the Black Beach. Great way to see lots of Santorini that you would not be able to see without a car.
The Santorini Luxury Travel had such nice drivers and clean spacious vehicles. They even came and got our luggage and stored it for us when we were leaving Santorini, so we could walk around in between the time we had to check out and they drove us to the ferry.
This was a small group excursion. There were about 18 people on the boat. The sunset was beautiful. Had a couple stops to swim. We chose to stay on the boat and spread out a little more while others were swimming. They had wine and beer and dinner.
Nicolas was so kind and informational. He had waters and a special dessert treat for us. He did a great job of showing us some highlights of Crete. Since it was just us, he geared it to some places we wanted to see. The landscape was breathtaking as we drove from place to place. We first went to a botanical garden. Is was amazing to see all that can grow in Greece. We went to 2 monasteries (females make sure to wear something that covers your legs). We then went through a Gorge and to the village of Argioupolis. He took us to a darling taverna tucked into a hill with a waterfall. It was so pretty and the food was yummy. It was a great way to travel from Herkalion to Chania.
A great ending to our Greece trip. It was a beautiful yacht. There was plenty of room to move around. It was very relaxing and amazing views. Great crew and food.
We loved Olga. She was so easy to talk to and felt like a friend by the end of the day. We drove through the breathtaking landscape to Elafonissi Beach, the famous pink beach. It was really cool, but maybe not as striking as in some of the pictures. We got there early and got sunbeds. It did get crowded later. Olga called ahead and found out the next beach we were going to was windy, so we stayed longer at Elafonissi. We did go on to Falasarna Beach. It was windy, but pretty. It had some pink sand too.
