Fabulous family vacation to Greece ( Athens, Santorini, Naxos and Mykonos)
Greece
|
Jul 5 - Jul 14, 2022
We visited 4 different areas (islands) in Greece - Athens, Santorini, Naxos and Mykonos.
The trip was so memorable and a special vacation for myself and my 3 grown children.
Our travel Agent, Antonis Alexandrou was wonderful! He greeted us at our hotel in Athens which was such a wonderful personal touch! He was also available via Whats App with any questions we had during our stay in Greece.
Our favorite island was truly Santorini but all the islands had their own special flare! The sunset cruise in Santorini was one of our favorite days - we spend one afternoon and evening on the catamaran with a fun group of "new friends" as we saw the beautiful Santorini island from the sea! During several spots we were able to jump off the boat, swim and enjoy the water!
We enjoyed learning about the history of Greece and Athens from our guide (Zakia) as we toured the Acropolis.
Our guide (George) in Naxos was wonderful - very knowledgeable and fun which made for a very relaxing day seeing the smaller towns and countryside in Naxos. The pottery shop in Damalas was one of our favorite stops in Naxos as well as the very authentic lunch with our guide at the Tavern Platsa in the small town of Koronos.
During our free day in Mykonos, we loved spending time on the beaches - we bought a day long beach hopping pass and were able to see all the beaches and we spent time on one of the beaches for most of the afternoon ( Super Paradise Beach) which had lots of people, beach activities and a great place for lunch!
Each of our hotels that we stayed in were unique and special in their own way. Antonis did a great job of booking different type of hotels. ( a quaint place in Naxos, a downtown hotel in Athens, a larger hotel in Santorini with several swimming pools to enjoy and our hotel in Mykonos had a wonderful view of the sunset off our balcony!)
I would highly recommend using Kim Kim for my next travel excursion!!
Hotel Reviews
The hotel was absolutely beautiful!! Spectacular views of the sunsets from our balcony and very specious rooms! The hotel staff went above and beyond with being available for transportation ( taxi rides) to the various places we wanted to see on the island!
Activity Reviews
I would not recommend this experience! As it turned out, the other guests that were suppose to be with us never showed up so it was just my daughter and I. The owner of the company who cooked the meal was somewhat offended that we did not eat all the food she had made. There was so much food and she made us feel bad ( she actually thought we didn’t like it since we didn’t eat everything!!) We would have preferred eating at a local restaurant in town instead!
Our guide, George was wonderful!! Very knowledgeable and fun to be with! Our favorite stop during the day tour was at the pottery shop in Damalas and the very authentic lunch in Koronos.
One of our favorite days while in Greece! We love spending the afternoon and evening on the catamaran - meeting new friends and seeing the beautiful island of Santorini from the water!!
