Personalized trips to Greece
for independent travelers

We hit the ground with enthusiasm and excitement and were not disappointed. The accommodations were perfect for us with The Niche in Athens being our favorite. The reception and staff at all of our stays made us feel warmly welcomed and well supported. Hiking the Imbros Gorge on Crete was a stunning experience and we enjoyed eating, shopping and exploring the charming town of Chania. On to Santorini! We loved Hotel Keti and the staff. The many steps kept us in shape for our long walk from Fira to Oia. It was a challenge but we would to it again! Santorini Sea Kayak provided us with a wonderful and entertaining day of paddling and spectacular views along the coast. Adonis and Nolan were the best guides ever! We were also treated to a homemade lunch.

Naxos was a treasure and a sweet change of pace. Although the winds were gusty and it was a bit chilly we stilled loved the island. One of our favorite tours was with Natural Cultural Tours. Our guide Christos was over the top fun, knowledgeable, and entertaining. Sadly we said goodbye the Greek Islands as we headed back to Athens and our long journey home. Thank you Kim Kim for giving us this opportunity!

Private Countryside Walk: Naxian Villages & Local Food

Naxos

I can’t say enough about how incredible our trip to Greece was — and a huge part of that was thanks to Siena and the entire team at KimKim. From start to finish, everything felt seamless, thoughtful, and so well planned.

Even the rainy weather during our Acropolis & Mythology Walk in Athens couldn’t dampen the experience. Our guide, Michael, was hilarious, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our Delphi day trip was equally memorable, and the lunch stop on the drive home — arranged by our driver Chris — ended up being one of the highlights of the entire trip.

In Chania, our History & Foodie Tour was absolutely delicious (and VERY filling), and our guide Aria was genuinely lovely. We were also lucky enough to have Nikos as our guide for both the Milia Mountain wine & olive oil tasting and the Balos Lagoon/Falassarna Beach tour — and he was truly exceptional. He had such a warm, welcoming energy that he made both excursions feel relaxed and personal. We also met wonderful people on each of our small group tours, which made the experience even more special.

Eva at the Alcanea Boutique Hotel was beyond kind and accommodating. The suite was beautiful, and the location honestly couldn't have been more perfect.

One thing I especially appreciated was how supported we felt the entire time. Having contacts for every transfer and knowing KimKim was available if anything went wrong made traveling abroad feel easy and stress-free.

I would HIGHLY recommend KimKim to anyone planning a trip. We made memories we’ll never forget — and I know we’ll absolutely use them again in the future.

From the first driver who picked us up at the airport, to the hotel workers, taxi drivers, and tour guides, everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We had the most wonderful experience and felt like royalty everywhere we went, that’s how good the service was! Our trip planner, Eirini, listened to our wishes and advised us on the best times to visit as well as suggested places worth seeing during the time we were not taking tours. I have never had a better vacation and will absolutely use KimKim in the future!

Very helpful and thoughtful! We had to leave earlier than breakfast time and the staff left out a bag full of breakfast for us to take! Very sweet (the food was also great)

The views are to die for but beware there are many stairs!! Can’t have cliff side views without putting some work in. Food was good at the restaurant but you can get better in town

Close to many restaurants, walking distance to Fira. A drive from Oia. Hard to find your room sometimes as it is somewhat of a maze

The bedrooms are to DIE for, from the double rainhead shower to the high tech blinds and the personal hot tub. We didn’t want to leave!! Quiet area and lots of privacy

The food in gorgonna tavern below (as well as the breakfasts they serve in the hotel) changed my life!!! Literally, I’m trying to recreate the recipes at home

Wish it were closer to the port (you have to rent a car if you want to be in town) however the quietness and calmness of the area was refreshing

The owner welcomed us before our room was ready with wine and a local charcuterie and sat and talked with us, telling us about the local things to do and what Naxos is known for. We have never had better service at a hotel!!!

We did not know that we had a private tour until the day of, which made our day! Having your own private driver and tour guide makes you feel somehow famous

Catamaran day cruise

Naxos

Very difficult to have perfect weather for something like this, possibly something you want to wait for the week of to book. We were both freezing and got sunburned at the same time

Quality of Experience

Nothing to do with the staff, they were amazing. The weather was just freezing due to the breeze which made the experience difficult to fully enjoy

Food

The food was all freshly prepared from scratch right on the boat!! Authentic and tasty
