We had such a wonderful time on our trip to Greece! From the beautiful hotels selected for us in Athens, Mykonos and Santorini, to the personalized tours we did in each location, everything was top notch! Athens was our first stop and we were well taken care of by the staff at the Niche Hotel. The location was perfect for exploring the neighborhoods of Plaka, Monastiraki, and Psyri, where the shopping and the food were plentiful. We really enjoyed our food tour, and our guide, Fotis, was knowledgable and fun! We got lucky and had excellent weather for our tour of the Akropolis and the Agora, and Athena did a wonderful job of covering centuries of history to help us better understand how ancient history shaped the city and the citizens of Athens. Our next stop was Mykonos, which we traveled to via ferry. While we were a bit nervous to take the ferry ride, everything went well and was relatively easy, and we were there in about three hours. Mykonos was everything we hoped for and more, including our home for the next three days, The George Hotel. We loved our hotel - the breakfast was amazing, the staff was helpful, the rooms and pools and sundecks were beautiful, and we were surprised to find out we had access to sunbeds directly on the beach through a sister hotel a five minute walk away. It was a relaxing three days of beautiful scenery, sunning, and some fun at SantAnna Beach Club! From there we took another ferry to Santorini, whose beauty was just unmatched. Anteliz Suites was the PERFECT location to make our base from, and ALL of the staff there really outdid themselves in taking care of us. We really enjoyed exploring the area and checking out the restaurants and shopping. We did a private tour with Sabine and she took us to some really off the beaten path places in Santorini, while giving us an excellent overview of both the history of the islands as well as the current industries, and our favorite stop was Emporio where we explored the mazes of the Castelli, which was purely magical. Overall, this was such a once in a lifetime trip and Sydney and the folks at KimKim really came through in planning exerything perfectly!
Hotel Reviews
Staff was helpful and friendly, location was perfect for exploring Athens, and the breakfast was so yummy!!!
We loved the George Hotel and all the staff there. The rooms were large and comfortable, the staff was so friendly and helpful, the sundecks and multiple pools (including the heated pool) were refreshing, and the breakfast was amazing. The fresh OJ from the OJ machine was really a hit for us!! Also, being able to use the Sunbeds at the sister hotel on the beach was just perfect and we loved having the option to hit the pool or the beach.
Anteliz Suites was one of the highlights of our trip. The views from their courtyard were amazing, and it was wonderful to be able to have our order-off-the-menu breakfast sitting outside with the view of the caldera. This was our favorite breakfast of the trip and I am still dreaming of the Greek Yogurt and scrambled eggs with avocado on brioche. The staff was super helpful with their recommendations for restaurants and went out of their way to be helpful, including making us reservations and making sure we were taken care of on the day of our early checkout!
