Our GREECE trip was absolutely FANTASTIC! (Athens, Paros, Milos and Santorini)
Greece

Jul 13 - Jul 24, 2026
Our trip was FANTASTIC! All of our guides were absolutely fabulous and every driver was on time (usually early) to pick us up. We especially loved Dora from our Acropolis tour and Katarina from our e-bike tour in Santorini. Really, every guide was FANTASTIC! We loved the catamaran tour in Milos (the captains/guides were great - I know one is named George) and our Greek Cooking class in Paros (so much fun)! We really had so much fun doing everything we planned.
We absolutely LOVED Senia Hotel in Paros. The staff was exceptional, the views and pool amazing, the food and service were top-notch, the location perfect and overall staying there was absolutely fantastic!
We also really loved our hotel in Santorini, Agali Houses. The accommodations were spacious and very nice, we had another amazing view and the location was fantastic. Whew those steps - you really can't be out of shape to climb those! We felt bad for the porters carrying our bags.
We also really liked Niche hotel in Athens. The rooftop was great, location perfect and the breakfast was one of our favorites of all the hotels we stayed at. The only negative was the rooms were small (but very nice) - but I guess that is to to be expected in a big city.
We had the absolute BEST time and loved meeting so many amazing people from Greece and other travelers from around the world and eating the most amazing food. The only thing I would have done differently is possibly added a day to each island (we did 2 nights Athens, and 3 islands, 3 nights each) so we had more time to relax and explore or only go to two islands and stay at each one for 4-5 days. With the travel it just cut into our time at each island and we were all a little tiered those days. Thank you so much for all the planning! We would highly recommend KimKim to anyone planning a trip.
Hotel Reviews
Great hotel, perfect location, beautiful rooftop restaurant, great breakfast. Only negative was the rooms were pretty small so made it tight with our luggage.
Our absolute FAVORITE hotel of our trip! The staff was incredible, perfect location, amazing view, great food/drinks and a beautiful rooftop pool.
Beautiful hotel in a great setting. Hotel steps are steep and there are lots of them so just be aware of that. The views from our room were AMAZING and we were in a fantastic location.
Activity Reviews
Dora our guide was amazing. A little long for our teenage daughters but we were also jet-lagged and it was very hot even in the morning.
We really enjoyed this activity but for some reason we thought it was on a beach and it definitely was not - but we could see the sea. Since we are not experienced riders some of the fear we had was due to our inexperience - we didn't do anything too hard but we just weren't used to riding horses and we did have to ride up some narrow spaces and we did have to navigate around some cars. But the guides and horses lead the way and everything was very safe and it was a great way to see a different view of Paros.
LOVED this so much! Absolutely beautiful. We did the half-day tour which was plenty for us. The lunch they served onboard was fantastic! Our guides were great and so much fun!
We absolutely LOVED Katarina. She was so knowledgeable, and it was great to see another part of Santorini. We made some great stops along the way. She was also did a fantastic job of making sure we were all well-hydrated and changed our route a bit when my daughters didn't love going downhill.
SO MUCH FUN! Our chef and all her staff were fantastic. The food we made was delicious, and we loved meeting so many other people at the class. There was also a plentiful supply of Greek wine. This was my favorite activity.
Our guide was great and it was the first thing we did upon arriving in Athens. He introduced to the amazing Greek gelato and we loved seeing the old neighborhoods and some historical sights. We ended at dinner where he made some great recommendations.
We rented a car which made it easy to see various beaches/sights, sometimes parking was difficult because it was quite busy and the roads are quite narrow so you have to be especially careful of buses and other vehicles.
