Eirini and her team did an amazing job planning our trip to Greece. The hotels in all of our locations were very nice. The rooms were great and the locations were outstanding with easy access to everything we wanted to see. Our hotel in Santorini (Ilioperato) was in a great location with "postcard" views of the Caldera from our front porch. We loved that it was in quiet location away from the tourist crowds, but still close to great shopping and restaurants. Our hotel in Heraklion (Dimargio) was a hidden gem. We were surprised how new and modern it was, yet still in the heart of the city near all of the attractions and restaurants. Also, our drivers were great, especially Costantinos in Athens. Also, a special shout out to George (think that was his name) in Santorini who picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the port. Both of the gentlemen we so nice and informative. They felt like old friends after driving us a few times. My wife gave them hugs when we left them the last time! The tours and excursions were also wonderful. Eirini will find something for everyone - food, culture, history and adventure. Loved our farm tour and cooking class in Santorini. Great to see something on the non-Caldera side of the island and learn more about the island. Our host and driver were locals and passionate about life, culture, and the history of Santorini. The Kim Kim App was fantastic and easy to use. It was great having all of our trip details at our fingertips. Eirini was always responsive. We recommend Kim Kim and Eirini if you are traveling to Greece. We will use Kim Kim for our future trips.
Hotel Reviews
Great location and very nice room. The restaurant downstairs is connected to hotel and the food was great. There are some stairs to deal with, but someone from the hotel or restaurant will usually help you with your luggage.
Large, updated room with couch and kitchen amenities. Great view of the Parthenon from our room. Nice lite balcony to enjoy wine or coffee.
Great location with amazing views. This location does not have as many tourists walking by, which was nice compared to many of the other hotels we saw. Yet, it was still walking distance to the Fira shops and many nice restaurants. Double sized beds, so smaller than what we are used to, but manageable considering we enjoyed breakfast, drinks, and sunset views from our front porch. Amazing! Also, very nice and attentive staff.
Very pleased with the newer modern hotel in the heart of the city close to everything you want to see. To hotel, while very new, was designed to look like it was built in ancient Crete, with a courtyard and dining area surrounded by old looking brick walls. Nice bar in the lobby and a great breakfast. Can't imagine there is a nicer hotel in the heart of Heraklion.
Activity Reviews
Unfortunately, the actively was canceled because of high winds. Good communication about the situation and offered alternatives, which unfortunately, did not fit our schedule. Refund was processed promptly.
Loved our driver. I would recommend this trip be schedule one hour later, or at a time to make sure you are there for sunset. Otherwise, you can see the temple in about 20-30 minutes. It is a long, although beautiful, drive for a short visit. We were there earlier and would have had to wait for over an hour for sunset. However, it was starting to get very busy the closer it got to sunset. We decided to leave and our driver dropped us off at a nice local fish restaurant for dinner. We were the only non-locals at the restaurant, which was fun. It was nice to see some of the area outside of Athens.
Great tour. Very informative.
This is a must do if you are visiting Athens. A guide is well worth the expanse. Skip the lines. From what we can tell, it is always busy there, so the guide gets you where you want to go and explains everything. If you can endure the heat, we went very late in the afternoon. When we left, we walked out onto part of Filopappou Hill (I think) and watched the sunset.
It was nice learning more about the people who live and make a living on Santorini outside of tourism. We learned so much about agriculture and how they grow tomatoes and grapes on a volcanic island. We helped make tomato fritters and enjoyed our meal outside under a big shade tree. Very pleasant.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. Reading your kind words truly made my day!😀
It was a real pleasure planning your journey through Greece, and I'm so happy to hear that each destination offered something memorable. I especially loved reading that our drivers felt like old friends by the end of your trip. That's exactly the kind of authentic connection we hope every traveler experiences!
