Our family trip to Greece had the perfect blend of activities, education, relaxation, and time on our own. The transportation provided helped to keep everything stress free and on time. In Athens, we had the perfect location at the Athens Manor Houses, which was located right in the city center. The hotel was in a small alleyway and allowed us to walk everywhere we wanted to go but was quiet and tucked away for when we needed our downtime. Our excursion to the Acropolis was the perfect amount of walking, education on both history and mythology, and sight seeing. Our guide was wonderful and she was very aware of the fact that we had 2 children (9 and 12) who might need rest, water etc. Our trip to the Temple of Poseidon was the perfect evening activity with additional history and mythology provided as part of the tour, incredible views. and a stop in a quaint beach town with time on our own for dinner.

KimKim organized our flights from Athens to Chania, Crete and all logistics were seamless. Our stay at Casa Delfino was my favorite part of the trip, with a gorgeous suite and the absolute perfect location in Old Town. Although our gorge trek had to be canceled due to weather, we were able to pivot and make the most of it with the KimKim team offering up alternate suggestions although ultimately, we adventured on our own. Our final excursion was a private tour of Balos lagoon and a 3 hour stop at Falassarna Beach where our guide Nasos took such amazing care of our family. We couldn't be happier with our trip overall!!

Hotel Reviews
Casa Delfino
Chania, Crete

This hotel is a must visit. Perfect location, beautiful building with extremely nice rooms. We had all sorts of treats waiting for us in our room and the experience felt so personal. Breakfast was delicious and there was a very cool roof deck for sunset views.

Great education on both mythology and history. Our guide took her time climbing up to the Acropolis and the pace felt super manageable while keeping our 3 kids entertained and moving along.

Even though it was a little cloudy, this experience was well worth it! Our guide was so knowledgeable and had some great stories to share. We stopped in a small beach town for a quick dinner and it was lovely. The temple itself is amazing and we loved spending the sunset there.

Our guide Nasos made this whole excursion - he was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our family. He provided us with the perfect amount of historical and educational context as well as the locals perspective on our drive to Balos. He set us up for our beach time at Falassarna makgin sure we had everything we needed...I highly recommend!
