We combined a visit to Athens with six days of sailing in the Ionian Sea. KimKim made planning so much easier. The transfers to and from the airport were timely. Our transfer from Athens to Lefkada was with George from Epirus Adventures. George was personable and made the long drive pass quickly even with our two stops. He was an excellent driver too! All portions of our trip went smoothly thanks to Sienna. It was nice knowing that if anything did go wrong, we would have a resource (KimKim) to help with any problems.
Hotel Review
The Athens Ivy is located in the heart of Athens, near a lot of shopping and dining. A few of the rooms have a view of the Acropolis , but most don't. It is within reasonable walking distance of the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. The included breakfast is better than most. The breakfast is served in an on-site restaurant and allows many choices. The restaurant is also nice for late night relaxing. Other than the restaurant, there are not really any common areas. The lobby is tiny. The rooms were all updated, clean, and tastefully decorated.
Activity Reviews
It was a pleasure to spend the day with Nancy. She was a very good driver. She was full of information when we asked, but also allowed silence when appropriate. She made arrangements for lunch at a wonderful restaurant near Delphi that we would have never found ourselves.
George was engaging and pleasant. He was a good driver. His suggested lunch stop was timely and scenic.
