Kimkim Trip Reviews

Views beyond belief! Everyone gets their own outdoor balcony (great for scrabble and glass of wine) and the rooms are lovely. Great pool area and breakfast cafe staffed by wonderful staff personalities. Wide assortment of food on buffet that can get you full until dinner. Easy transportation into Fira and Oei for shopping and dining.

Only to have room for me to stay with you on my next visit.

Such a unique boutique hotel with character that is beyond. Great accommodating staff! Located just on edge of nightlife and dining hub and walkable to major Athens historic sights. Try for Jo as your Tour Guide!

There are mosquitoes in Athens so take advantage of offer for bug spray!

Great, warm staff who took care of us…especially in an emergency. Always smiling and ready to help you with anything!

Just know you will be treated as a VIP.

Our guide Jo was INCREDIBLE! so personable and knowledgeable and she felt like she was a good friend to us. You could tell she was very passionate about her job and talked about studying to be sure she was aware of the latest news and info. Really the best!

Had Will as our tour guide with another couple and he kept us laughing. Was great about pointing out unique facts of Santorini (often while singing or rhyming) and the four of us had wished he had been able to join us on wine tasting. Constantly taking pictures of us with our cameras so have great memories of the blue and white buildings and highest point of island.

Be prepared to take yourself back to the days of Abba. Natalia and Lexi were gracious hosts on the boat and Captain Yiannis made sure we saw all the red, white and black beaches plus the hot springs where we covered ourselves with mud. Cocktails were flowing and dancing on the deck while sun set was such a memory! Great food and we all bonded with one another celebrating a 25th anniversary, a couple of birthdays, and hopefully future engagements.

Great place to start your trip...especially after a long overnight flight!

Go jump in the lake!

The view from the our room was so beautiful, to see the sun coming up over the city and through the mountains. The included breakfast had the freshest fruit, so much better than anything back home.

Get an idea of your surroundings! You’ll find that there are tons of restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

The private room/dwelling was wonderful with the terrace and grounds to walk around. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were so friendly.

The hotel was in a nice location and we could easily get around from it. Our room was unique and beautiful! The restaurant was fantastic and they had great views

The grounds, the tour, and the attention to detail was perfect! This was our first tour and it set an awesome tone for the rest of the trip.

With the change in altitude and how dry it was, our guide did a great job of providing a tour that didn’t completely wear us out! He was so funny and took lovely pictures of us.

Our guide gave us a once in a lifetime experience! We walked on a dune and it was tough, but I would recommend it to everyone. I appreciated that he provided the tour but gave us space to explore.

The lagoons and seeing where life may have started was amazing. Plus we saw some wildlife and got to float in a lagoon!

It is a long climb uphill to this hotel but it was worth it! It’s a beautiful view from their location. If necessary, Manny was available for rides up the hill, and Ruth in Reception was friendly and quick to help.

We were so pleased with The Belvedere’s location. It could be described as idyllic: peaceful and picturesque. We often sat outside just enjoying the view of the countryside. In our rental car, we explored several small towns in the area. We had dinners served at the Belvedere and they were excellent.

Love this place!! The restaurant and hotel staff made me feel very welcome. It was alive on the weekends and very chill during the week. I also love all the friendly cats and dogs on site, they kept a solo traveler company :-)

Minimal wifi in rooms

This is a very basic hotel. Nice location, isolated, good restaurant.

There is an on-site restaurant (that was very good) with limited offerings. There is another town a few KM away that has broader and less expensive offerings.

This hotel was really remote. The restaurant was fine. The rooms are modern and updated.

Stunning hotel, amazing views, amazing location. Great rooms.

This was our least favorite hotel. The hotel is dated, the rooms are VERY hot, it seems to be very popular with bus rides and the restaurants were not great (and the hotel was so remote that the nearest options were about a 20 minute drive). The hotel was fine, just not at the same caliber of the other 9 hotels we visited.

Another beautifully designed hotel, modern, clean and stunning location.

Beautiful, modern hotel with nice rooms, solid restaurant and located in a town with breweries, pizzerias and great views and access to nature.

This place is incredible. The location is remote, but the hotel is so unique and the pool is an incredible treat. Food is solid, bars are fun.

This is a fine hotel in a very touristy area. Parking is hard (garage is near impossible for a SUV). Close to other sites (we walked everywhere aside from our visit to Sky Lagoon). In house restaurants for street food, lots of options around.

This is an amazing facility. Truly one of the best we've visited. Do not miss.

A truly remarkable, small group tour. Boat pilot was knowledgable, funny and engaging.

Don't set your expectations on seeing a cave -- we did and it was fine. The best part is being in an incredibly remote part of the tackier, no crowds and incredible beauty. Our driver was sarcastic and funny and gave us a great overview.

This is such a great alternative to the blue lagoon. The seven step ritual is worth the extra money. Modern, clean, great experience.

Stunning pools, modern facility (and they are remodeling).

An old oak boat, dolphins, whales and incredible views. We learned a ton as well.

The staff was amazingly helpful and supportive meeting all of our needs (dietary, and looking up details and calling cabs last minute for us when our original plans didn't work)

The accommodations were standard, appropriate, with nothing lacking but the best part was the large grassy courtyard and the willingness of other guests to socialize a bit. Breakfast was strictly continental and gluten-free bread was available upon request. It was a great relaxing spot for our third day out.

This was a beautiful place to stay with gracious staff. We however learned that we are not 5 star hotel type people. The "bar" dining was far from what anyone would define as a bar. They went out of their way to ensure my dietary needs were met and that I made it through supper. (My disabilities had flared and I wasn't the healthiest - low sugar). They were very accommodating about my service dog also.

This was a quaint B&B with super respectful hosts. We arrived later and needed super. They offered suggestions and ended up talking for a bit longer. She ended up offering to make us sandwiches because all of the local establishments were closed by that time. It was a great choice for a second night in Ireland after a full day of exploring and still being jet-lagged.

If you are into pubs and that atmosphere, this would be your place to stay. If you want your pup to stay with you they allow that also. My service dog was with us and per my request, I did not want to be in the "pet" friendly rooms or area of the hotel as I have had negative experiences in the past in other locations. Fullerton tried to upcharge us and made us wait in the bar to clarify it with the travel agent when we obviously just wanted to rest in our room for a bit. There was a problem with the heating system. It was immediately fixed once we discussed it twice, but the first hour was roasting and thus we hung out in the pub for a bit more and walked around the town where everything was closed because it was after 6 pm. The room was comfortable and included what we needed. Breakfast was nice and available a bit earlier than other locations which was greatly appreciated.

The owners were such a delightful couple. The windows were open when we entered our room and the breeze from the ocean was lovely. The view was amazing and so peaceful. Breakfast was great. I wish that we would have had more time at this location.

The lady of the house and her daughter took the time to locate a particular bush that I wanted to know more about and chatted it up with me about other areas of interest. Breakfast was so filling. The room was comfy. The town was easy to walk around and the park was so nice to stroll through and nearby.

A great family experience. The horses were gentle and calm which was great for my inexperienced kids and I. The scenery was beautiful. A very kind host who allowed us to relax on the veranda and wait for the rain to let up before heading out for our ride. My kids also loved meeting all the dogs at the property. Our guide Jose spoke perfect English, was knowledgeable about the area and was also an experienced horse rider which was so helpful. He was so kind and helpful, helping to get the kids on and off their horses and keeping everyone moving along the path. The road to get to the property is a bit rough, our driver did a great job navigating the muddy bumpy road.

Room was pretty small but we barely stayed in with everything to do in the city! The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating, we loved staying with them! Thank you to Aphrodite and her staff for the wonderful experience!

Hands down our favorite hotel we stayed at in all of Greece! The staff was so kind and helpful, we loved the list of recommendations we got upon check in and used most of them! The breakfast is HUGE, it felt like sitting down with my family for a big homecooked meal. And the room: GORGEOUS. I felt so luxurious!

This hotel was beautiful and we really appreciated having the pool on the hotter days. However, check in took almost an hour as it seemed like the receptionist took the time to verbally list out every single thing we could do on the island. I wouldn't have minded this as much, but we hadn't been given our room key yet and had just gotten off a very long and rough ferry ride, which we explained to them kindly, to try to move the process along. The main reason for this low review though is that on our last night in the hotel, an employee entered our locked room while we were sleeping to remind us of our airport transfer in the morning, even though we (through our travel agency) were the ones who arranged it. This was really inappropriate and honestly put us on edge the rest of the night. The hotel rooms do not have phones so I understand why they didn't call, but entering a guests room is extremely inappropriate and made us feel very unsafe.

Such a cute and funky little hotel in the heart of Athens! Loved the whole aesthetic of the hotel and our room was spacious and fun! The absolute best part though was the food!!! This hotel is also a brunch place and as hotel guests, you get 20% off their menu. We arrived a little early for check in so decided to get some food while we waited and oh my god. Instagram worthy, healthy, fresh food! And very affordable! The best part??? The breakfast that is included with your hotel is.the.same.breakfast!! So you get very high quality food to start off your day. We ended up sandwhiching our time in Athens around our trips to the islands, so we stayed at a different hotel on the way in and we talked so much about how we wish we had gotten to stay at this place longer. Absolutely loved it!

Its a bit farther from the acropolis than other places but very close to metros, great restaurants and a whole host of other Ancient sites!

Loved that this tour was focused on the myths and culture behind the Acropolis and Parthenon, rather than the architecture like all the signs were. Our kind was very friendly and knowledgeable! We ended up going to the Acropolis again on a different day to just take our time walking around but the name "Beat the Crowds" tour is no joke! Great experience!

The ride over to the Museum was beautiful! I loved seeing all the beaches and cliffs, and the electric bike made it a very smooth ride! Our Guide was also extremely nice and was very helpful for us getting started with the bikes! That being said I feel like the description of this activity was very misleading. It wasn't really a "tour" per say, more of a "follow the leader to your destination" as we didn't stop anywhere along the route to talk or take pictures of anything. The Tomato Museum was interesting and the tomato juice and paste we got to try were incredible! The activity description said we would get to "Seal our own tomato pulp" which we were so excited for such a great souvenir, especially after tasting everything! However, in reality, you sealed your own *empty* can with a tomato label, which was a bit disappointing. Finally, the activity description said on our way back from the Museum we would stop at Vlychada Beach where we would "get to quench your thirst with light refreshments at the beach bar". This is very misleading. We were able to take a few pictures of the beach from where we parked the bikes before heading into the Museum, but then pretty much packed up and left immediately on the return. There was no stopping for refreshments. We went straight back to the starting point. The frustrating part, is the route you take to the museum is FILLED with amazing looking restaurants and beach bars where my husband and I would've LOVED to stop in at, but as soon as we made it back to the starting point, our transport was there to take us back. We did not get to explore or experience any part of the beach, other than riding past it.

BEST THING WE DID IN GREECE! Our guides were amazing, so fun and knowledgeable! We went through rock formations, caves, tunnels, absolutely amazing time! They took just enough breaks both on the water and off at different sites for us to be able to keep up! An awesome surprise was that we got GoPros to take all the videos and pictures with that we wanted even underwater, I can't wait to get them back! Truly an amazing family run business as we even got 2 homemade snacks per person from the guides mother (that were AMAZING). I would absolutely do this again and recommend it to everyone I know!

LOVED seeing these beautiful cliffs and monasteries! The pictures we got look like they are straight out of National Geographic. The tour guides were so fun and incredibly knowledgeable, pointing out all of the details we could've wanted, including a fun Game of Thrones photo Point! The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 was that based on the activity description, I wasn't aware the monasteries each had their own entrance fee or that most of them only took cash. There was one monastery we didn't get to go in because there were no atms at the top(and we didn't know to stop closer to the bottom), which was really disappointing because it was one of the biggest ones! We spent the time taking beautiful pictures of the surrounding areas though. The train ride is also a little rough and long but overall a beautiful trip!

Excellent location and service and fabulous dinner and breakfast at the restaurant Loved the interior decorations and the history of the hotel!

Excellent location and beautiful surroundings and wonderful restaurant. Had a fabulous dinner there

Nice and clean but outdated and could use refurbishing

The breakfast was my favorite part
