Our trip that we booked through KimKim with our agent Erika was better than we even dreamed it could be! From the very beginning we were amazed at how perfectly Erika had matched the tours to our distinct likes and wants. The food tour in Athens with Alternative Athens was so fascinating to be able to understand the story behind why this food and the way it is prepared is important and what to look for when buying these items. Sitting around the tables with others as conversations erupted and enjoying the food was a highlight. Naxos was our favorite island and one we know we would choose to return to. The Adriana hotel was so convenient and beautiful with the ability to walk to everything within 10 minutes, and we loved eating our lovely breakfast outside every morning. The countryside walk with Naxos Cultural Tours was absolutely amazing and our guide Elizabeth was fantastic. Her knowledge and just overall kindness and joy about everything and everyone we encountered was intoxicating. The Gerofinikas Hotel on Sifnos though was the ultimate highlight of our trip. It was like walking into a dream world of luxury that we didn't know existed! Everything is geared around being outside and all your needs were met with such quiet kindness. The staff truly made you believe they existed only to make your trip magnificent. From delicious food eaten outside with the most stunning landscape, to handcrafted drinks from the bar to the on demand coffee shop we felt so pampered. We truly did not want to leave that magical place. The experience we will never forget though was the cooking class at Narlis Farms. Cooking with George in his farmhouse, walking his farm as he educated us on farming without water, and then eating the dishes we made around his large kitchen table will be what we will continue to daydream about for many years. Milos was full of beautiful beaches that continued to take your breath away, and the catamaran adventure would've been much more enjoyable if it hadn't been 65 and cloudy, but no one can control the weather! We loved our food and wine tour though with Micheal from Travel Me to Milos! We felt like we were hanging out with an old friend who truly wanted us to love his home and we could've stayed with him all day. All in all, the trip was way more than we had hoped to experience, and we truly didn't have one low point or regret. I've never been able to say that about an international trip, so we are extremely grateful to KimKim and have told all our friends about the great value of your travel agency. Thank you!
Hotel Reviews
The Gerofinikas Hotel was like stepping into a magical land of luxury from the first moment we walked through the entrance in the hedge. We both seriously gasped! The extraordinary view that you receive from anywhere that you're outside in the resort is worth the stay alone, but the experience doesn't end there. They pamper you with a private small scale restaurant only available to guests that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, where you can either eat inside or on the covered patio with that incredible view. A full service coffee bar and bar open all day where they will serve you by the pool or lounging area. Each room has a secluded patio with that once again incredible view where you can lounge away. The staff was so calming and kind and truly made you feel that they existed to make your stay the best it could possibly be. It is only a 10-15 min walk from two nearby towns with many restaurant offerings as well if you choose to go out. Our stay at the Gerofinikas Boutique Hotel will forever be the highlight or our trip to Greece, and I will go so far to say that you should go to Sifnos, if only to experience this hotel. We will never forget it.
We loved the ability to walk to anything we desired in town. Everything was within a 10 minute walk. The morning breakfast were such a highlight as well as the food was a wide range of delicious authentic Greek food and we always chose the option of eating outside on the covered patio amongst the beautiful flowers and weather. The owners were so helpful and we even rented a car through them that gave us the ability to travel all across the island. Our room was spacious and very comfortable with a large shared sundeck and view of the city. A great experience!

We had the most amazing time with our wonderful guide Elizabeth who was so kind and truly joyful with everyone and animal we encountered. Her love and knowledge of Naxos completely shown through, and she led us on the most charming walking tour through several villages. When she learned of my love for Greek mythology, she immediately begin weaving her great knowledge of the local area with so many of the stories. This is something I will not forget! To be able to connect so many of this iconic stories with actual real places was amazing. The food, wine, liquor and people we became acquainted with through her were definitely a highlight of our trip to Greece. You don't want to miss this tour!
This experience was hands down the highlight of our trip. Getting to spend this time with George around his table, in his kitchen and as he walked us through his fields explaining how to grow produce without water will be an experience we will never forget. His knowledge and love for preserving these ancient ways enchanted us and helped us realize what life on this island was truly like and what is being lost. Plus when do you get to sit around a table with a celebrity chef getting to eat food that he lovingly prepared? It was like being invited over for a family dinner but with a loving education provided as well. This is definitely a not to be missed experience for foodies and nature lovers alike!
Taking this tour with Michael was like hanging out with an old friend from the moment we got in the car. He was so fun, knowledgeable and real about growing up on this island, the good and the bad. We had so many great conversations and his love and passion for Milos is so evident. We would've hung out with him all day!
