We spent 12 days in Greece: Athens, Naxos, and Milos. Siena did an excellent job finding accommodations and activities suited to our tastes. Lea was an invaluable resource while we were in-country, helping us make last minute changes as needed to account for the unexpected.

In Athens, the mythology tour of the Acropolis was the perfect way to kick things off. Our guide, Alex, was knowledgeable about the historical fact and fiction and he did a great job making connections to present day topics. Our day trip to Delphi was amazing as well. The private nature of the tour made for great conversation with our driver, Markos, and our guide, Johanna.

Naxos had a nice, low key vibe. We stayed at Glaronissi on Plaka beach, a family owned and operated place that was comfortable and well-maintained. We ate most of our meals at Summer Breeze because everything on the menu was delicious. It didn't hurt that the restaurant was just in front of our hotel, on the way to and from the beach. We did a sea kayaking excursion that took us along 5 miles of beautiful coastline. Our guide, David, provided a mid-morning snack that included cheese, peaches, and olives produced by his family and his neighbors.

Milos was the perfect way to end our trip. We stayed at the luxurious Artemis resort, in a room with a large patio overlooking the Aegean. What a view to wake up to each day! Our only planned activity on the island was a full day sailing tour around the entire coast. Nine hours on a catamaran isn't for everyone, but if you enjoy boating, sun, hard-to-reach beaches, great food, and stunning views, then you must spend the day with Captain George.

There are so many ways to spend two weeks in Greece, the choices can be overwhelming. Siena, Lea, and the rest of the KimKim team took all the anxiety out of the planning and supported us throughout the trip. This is the first time in literally decades of world travel that I've used an agency, and the experience was so good I can't help but wonder why it took me so long to try it. Great job, KimKim. 10/10 would do it again!
