Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

A beautiful hotel with friendly staff. The building is over 500 years old which makes it even more amazing and beautiful. This hotel has an amazing location and views. Located in the port and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the beach. They also have a restaurant and bar with a complimentary breakfast. We had a balcony where we could sit and relax with a view of the lighthouse. It was amazing!

Stayed here one night just to sleep. The hotel was beautiful, modern, and clean. Oddly located on a side street that gets busy but we didn't stay in the hotel except to sleep and it was conveniently located to tons of shops and restaurants. Beautiful area to walk about and sightsee.

This hotel and the location are breathtaking! The views from the hotel were beautiful! The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious with so many options. So many walking trails and things to do in the area.

Beautiful hotel and centrally located to many restaurants and beaches. I was impressed with the size of our room and the amenities. The hotel was beautiful.

I am not a city person and this hotel is located within the city. That being said if you stay in Athens then you need to stay at this hotel! They have a restaurant on their rooftop with the perfect view of the Acropolis. Extremely beautiful! Plus the food was delicious. The rooms were cleaned and maintained, and they had a jacuzzi bathtub. Being in the city it was quiet at night within our room.

It was so nice to tour Chania Old Town with a local who does tours. It was great to hear the history and be taken to historical locations. The food and wine tasting at the end was a nice way to try local food and dishes. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

The tour was very informative and insightful. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and you could feel her passion. Learned so much and we we enjoyed the beauty and knowledge we gained.

We enjoyed this tour and we were able to choose the locations we wanted to see. The best part was talking with the tour guide and learning about the culture. All the locations were beautiful. We visited a monastery, and winery, and walked through a local town. Very beautiful and informative experience.

If you visit Santorini this is a must-do! We had so much fun! The staff on the boat were all amazing, kind, and fun! It was a small group of people so we all chatted, got to know each other, and enjoyed the beautiful cruise. We swam in the ocean, saw the beautiful beaches, swam in the hot springs, had a delicious meal, and watched the sunset. They also showed us many historical sights. This cruise was one of my favorite excursions on our vacation.

I am so happy we did this walking tour otherwise my husband and I would have been walking in circles around Mykonos. The tour took us to all the spots to get beautiful photos and avoid the crowds. Learned about the history and how Mykonos became known for being a party location. The city is beautiful with all the shops and painted walkways and homes.

So glad we did this tour because there is so much you can miss out on with the history of the Acropolis. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate and taught us so much. The Acropolis is absolutely beautiful and a must-visit. We are happy we had a tour of the museum as well because there is such an extensive amount of history to learn.

We were happy we had a free day in Chania so we could explore the city and recover from a long day of travel. The city is beautiful and lovely to spend time walking around and exploring. There is so much to see. You could sit for hours just watching the water. Beautiful city and our favorite location we visited in Greece.

Perfect location for the Acropolis and downtown Athens. Staff was amazing.. in particular, Aphrodite.

Right next to the beach.. amenities and views were superior. Staff was amazing!! So attentive and had the pool to ourselves most days and drinks from the bar while we enjoyed it.

Of the five hotels we stayed at in Greece this topped them all. The city of Chania is a gem! Wished we’d had a few more days here :-)

What can you say! The views were superior. Best place on Santorini to watch the sunset!

A gem in the middle of an authentic Cretan village. Only a handful of rooms.. each beautiful, clean and very well maintained.

Alex was amazing! Would encourage anyone going to the Acropolis to ask for him. Cannot compare to the large group tours we observed there. He was our personal guide and knew more about U.S. history than us!! Amazing young man and person.

George is a gem! After 5 hours together we were ready to adopt him as an honorary son! He took us on a hiking tour of multiple villages and was so informative and interesting.. so appreciated

Katerina and her mother Maria were fantastic. Special time learning various Greek dishes.. look forward to replicating with family! Her house was so inviting.

The location of this hotel was perfect. We were right downtown and could walk to all the main attractions. The breakfast spread was amazing, especially the bread.

The location and view of this hotel were exceptional! While the breakfast was slightly lacking compared to our other accommodations, the overall experience was not hindered!

This hotel was in a quieter location in Imerovigli, which we appreciated. We enjoyed the sunset from here more than in Oia. The breakfast was delivered to our room, which was a nice touch. However, the location is not as convenient for shops and restaurants if other travelers are looking for that.

Unfortunately, this activity was canceled due to high winds. Initially, I was disappointed, but our specialist had warned us about this possibility and we had a backup plan. We ended up exploring Naxos, which was still an amazing experience.

This was a highlight of the trip for me. We cooked with a local couple in their home, which was a wonderful, authentic experience. We made delicious food using ingredients from their garden. The couple didn't speak English but our guide did a great job translating for us.

This was a good experience, although it felt a bit rushed. The winery was beautiful and we tasted three different wines. We also had a quick tour of the facility. I wish we could have stayed a bit longer to really enjoy the setting.

The hike was beautiful with stunning views. Our guide was great, but as my husband and I have experienced hikers, we could have done it without a guide. However, the guide did provide some interesting information about the island.

This was an amazing experience. The catamaran wasn't overly crowded, so we had plenty of space. We made multiple stops and had a full meal prepared on the grill, and the sunset was absolutely stunning.

Rarely have I found a person with such a passion for what they do. Leonidas loves the flavors and ingredients of Greece and by the end of this masterclass, so did I. What took the experience to the next level was the amazing view of the mountains and sea you have while tasting some of Greece’s most unique flavors.

This restaurant has some of the freshest and most unique seafood I’ve ever had. The owner clearly loves sharing each morning’s catch with his guests. On top of that, the view of the small island with the church of St Nicolas is charming. The owner even took me to the island in his fishing boat which was way beyond what I’d expected and was a highlight of the trip.

The hotel is very charming and the staff were absolutely wonderful! Incredible breakfast, healthy options and delicious homemade pastries. The only thing lacking was storage space for our clothes. There was a rod with some hangers and one small drawer, but for two adults traveling for two weeks in Greece, we would have liked more storage.

A quiet and beautiful escape, away from the hustle and bustle of Naxos town, and steps away from Plaka beach, which was also quiet and peaceful. So easy to get to town with the local bus or a cab if you prefer. Absolutely incredible breakfast each day! Naxos Island escape is clearly a labor of love for Marios, who was always available and who helped us with many logistics during our stay. Highly recommend!

Staff were extremely accommodating, warm and kind. All rooms face the ocean and have a view to Chania old town, which is only a 20 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are modern and well-equipped, incredibly comfortable bed and linens. Breakfast was excellent with different choices every day, and different varieties of fresh fruit juices.

VERY basic hotel in a fun neighborhood outside of Athens.

Wonderful tour guides, Alex (Temple of Zeus) and Maria (Acropolis)!

Loved wandering and eating amazing food wherever we went.

This review is solely based on our trip to Delphi, since sadly we were not able to visit Meteora because of the floods. We will definitely have to return - we were so looking forward to Meteora, but peoples' safety is most important! Delphi was incredible and highly recommend. We drove up there ourselves, which we loved. Seeing the incredible mountains makes you understand how the ancient Greeks believed in the Gods. It felt like they were still there. We had a wonderful tour guide, who also recommended a restaurant to eat lunch in Delphi, which was delicious! (Pictures of the mountains don't do justice.)

We had two free days in Naxos because sadly our all day sailing cruise was cancelled because of high winds. We rented a car and drove up into the mountains, which was absolutely incredible.

Beautiful island. Wonderful people. Incredible food.

So much fun. A small group tour into the white mountains of Crete. Incredibly beautiful. Wonderful tour guide (and driver) Yannis, who knows so much about Cretan history and clearly loves his home. Incredible cooking lesson using the freshest of ingredients taught by a lovely woman (whose name I sadly can't remember but she was amazing), and hosted also by her son.

Could not believe our eyes when we walked into our room… Stunning! Exquisite artwork, marble everywhere, fabulous views of the Aegean, private patio, what more could you ask for!

A lovely, smaller resort outside of town, perfect for our stay. Located on the water, remote for privacy, just perfect for what we were doing!

Maria and her staff have created the most wonderful accommodations with the best views of the caldera ever! Absolutely stunning, on every detail, every piece of furniture, every amenity that was provided!

This was a fantastic experience! Our guide was so knowledgeable - it really enhanced our visit to the Acropolis. She gave us all the historic details and made the ancient ruins come alive. We really enjoyed this tour!

Our guide, Tom, was exceptional! He made extra stops for us, bought us beach towels when we didn't have any, and even took us for private swims. He really went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful day trip to Delphi. The swimming and lunch in Galaxidi was a real treat!

Antonio, our guide, made this tour in Medieval Ano Syros a memorable one. His insights into the history and culture of the place were really engaging. We enjoyed the private nature of the tour as it allowed for a more intimate experience

This was a perfect way to see the beautiful island of Santorini. Our driver was waiting for us promptly and showed us all the best spots. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the drive was comfortable. We wouldn't have wanted to explore Santorini any other way.

This was the highlight of our trip. The cruise was intimate with just 15-18 people onboard. We made friends, went snorkeling, and enjoyed fabulous food. The staff on the boat were delightful and made the experience even more enjoyable. The sunset views from the Caldera were something we'll never forget.

Milo’s def felt like we were in a 5 star hotel with the service and the the room/ hotel itself. The location of the hotel was great, very central! We were able to walk to everywhere that we wanted to go. There was an abundance of restaurants and stores all within a short walking distance.

The property is a boutique hotel with a sun deck area and swimming pools with beautiful views that give you that “I’m in Mykonos” feel. Plaits Gialos, one of the best beaches on the island is less than 5 mins away, there are also various restaurants to try along the strip of the beach. Staff was very friendly and pleasant.

We were part of a small group of about 15 total. Our tour guide made the entire time very enjoyable. She spoke very passionately when relaying the myths and was very engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Our last day was the Sunset catamaran cruise, which did not disappoint. The stops were nice and sufficiently timed for quick breaks, meals were catered to preference, staff was friendly. Wonderful way to take in the beautiful views of the Caldera rim ending in Ammoudi Bay.

The hotel was beautiful and the location made it easily walkable to restaurants. The only downfall was that they pushed 2 twin beds together and they split apart multiple times.

Our travel guide did a great job explaining the history. My fiancé is a history lover and had a lot of questions that the guide was more than happy to answer! And he genuinely seemed to really appreciate them, haha. The guide had a great pace and gave us time to walk around after explaining the history for photos.

Our guides, Akis and George, were absolutely amazing! They were incredibly friendly and fun, while remaining professional and gave us all a great experience! I expected the food to be mediocre, but it was actually AMAZING and one of my favorite meals during our entire 9-day Greece trip. The location of the sites were great and they briefly explained the history of the locations, one of which was a place where if you put clay from the rocks on your face…your skin doesn’t age ;) you know I slapped that on, ha! Plus we had plenty of time at each spot and did not feel rushed at all. I will say the water was a bit chilly…but definitely worth while!

Our guide was great! We stopped at 3 different locations and we had plenty of time at each spot. The guide did a great job explaining the history of the volcano as well. The men who worked on the boat, especially the main guy were a hoot and he even helped me with my wound after I tripped on the top of the volcano, ha! I expected the food to be mediocre, but it was absolutely amazing and I even went up for seconds! We apparently went on a very windy day which we didn’t realize because the crew did such a great job, it was only rough for about 20ish minutes and even then it wasn’t bad. The crew did a great job safety wise and even provided us with blankets as it got a bit chilly after the sunset.

Our group did not care for this hotel. No assistance with luggage was offered. Several flights of steps.

Wonderful breakfast, great staff.

I had a wonderful time at Kastro Suites in Santorini. The staff was great, the place was beautiful. The only downside was the many stairs we had to climb with our heavy luggage. The breakfast was fresh and delicious, a stark contrast to our previous accommodation.

Dorina was extremely knowledgeable and very interesting! She also worked with KimKim to solve our ticket issue.

My favorite part of the trip overall! Jeremy was a wonderful host. So personal, as was his son. Being from a farming state (Iowa) this was very interesting to us. Love the lunch on the veranda overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Elias is #1!

This trip was cancelled due to ferry delay

This was a great experience. Despite being a large group tour, we all had fun dancing on the boat.

This hotel is perfectly situated in an area of Athens that's convenient for sight-seeing, shopping and dining. It was well appointed and the service was terrific. Breakfasts were generous and delicious with lots of variety and well-prepared options. Drinks on the outside deck under the stars looking out at the acropolis were the perfect way to end a day. Our room was spotless, spacious and accommodating. I highly recommend the Elia Ermou Athens Hotel.

Nikos was an excellent guide! Appreciated the level of exercise and the amazing sites!

Zakia was an amazing, knowledgeable driver who was open to answering all of our questions. Spent just the right amount of time at each site and guided us to shade when we needed it! The driver was also great.

Agatha! Passion and excitement. Loved this hike and the challenge and Agatha’s love for life made it even better. Good sized group with similar fitness level helped.

Great service, amazing food and good size group for boat size. Once in a lifetime opportunity to swim on the sea and view the island from the sea.

Beautiful winery with friendly service and great food! Appreciated the “private” table.

Great way to see sites we would not have seen otherwise! The monastery was great.

Amazing hike! We love a challenge and this hit the mark. Rocky with a steep, steep decline but the views made it all worthwhile. It was also awesome to end in the village and enjoy lunch and the beach. It was a very long day though and we weren’t aware ahead of time that we would have a long ferry and drive home. Plan for a full day. So glad we did it! We also were prepared with serious hiking shoes which was helpful.

Very cool hotel with rooms that used to be wine storage tanks. Amazing service, delicious food, great location on a quiet beach.

Great little boutique hotel with a charming boho vibe. Lots of repurposed unique furnishings and original art. Just a block from the waterfront and walking distance to tons of shops and restaurants.

This was a very nice hotel with clean and modern accommodations. We really enjoyed the location as it was in a great neighborhood with lots of shops and restaurants. It was also within walking distance of many sights. Highly recommend.

Very nice hotel near the beach. Our room was lovely with a view of the ocean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was within walking distance of quaint shops and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Our room was very spacious and had a balcony with a stunning view. Loved the decor and style of this hotel. Clean and modern with that Santorini history and ambiance. The staff was helpful and friendly. Great location, walking distance to shops and restaurants in Fira. Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time with our guide Evy touring the historic sights in Naxos. Enjoyed learning about the history of the temple of Apollo and the Venetian castle. We loved walking the labyrinth of streets and having samples of food and drink. We had a wonderful lunch at an authentic Greek tavern. The food reminded me of my grandmother’s. Amazing!

Amazing tour of the Acropolis and sampling Athens food. Our guide Mherta was so friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed spending the day with her. She gave us many insights into Athens and its history. Highly recommend!

This was a very nice tour! It included the Atlantis experience museum, Akrotiri archaeological sight, red and black beach, a visit to a lovely winery for lunch and tasting and then a sunset at the highest point in Santorini. Highly recommend this tour!

Gorgeous view, incredible staff, and outstanding location. Ada and her team are what would have me stay here again!

Perfectly situated on a quiet portion of the beach with a view to die for. The hotel and restaurant staff were attentive and friendly. The food and drinks at the hotel had us eating there daily.

Modern hotel with professional and friendly staff.

Best experience we could have ever asked for. The staff on board the Sunset Delos (George, Yannis, and Katerina) were awesome and the dinner they cooked for us was other world.

We left early once everyone was on board which gave us even more time for this amazing experience.

The tip amazing the caption and the crew very friendly they prepared for us very nice launch 🫶😍

Beautiful hotel! Very modern with plenty of space. I enjoyed the location and centrality of the hotel in the heart of old Athens. I would absolutely go back and recommend anyone to stay here.

Wow! Does that some it up? A beautiful venetian city, with historic (but modernly renovated where possible) hotels, restaurants, and buildings. We were a block away from the ocean, nearly ALL of the restaurants and everywhere had a scenic view. It is such a Bed & Breakfast "vibe" as my wife would say, which is why we adored it so much. To the staff who cared for us, we thank you so much.

Absolutely beautiful. Historic log and stone cabin home renovated with every modern desire. The location was fantastic, and breakfast was super accommodating and plentiful, especially for us with dietary restrictions. I only wish we could have stayed longer. It reminds me so much of the mountains in West Virginia that we love to go and get away from it all in, then explore a historic town, and great people and food.

Brand new hotel with a very modern outlook. It is built for a younger crowd, and the plethora of artwork/images everywhere was not at all in my taste. It was oceanfront, and therefore had a great view.

Wonderful room, and location. It was great to have the shuttle service back to the airport. Our driver was excellent and timely. The restaurant was good, and had a great view wherever you looked. I only wish we could have explored a bit more.

Wow. Elena (from Olympia Insiders) was our guide and there's not enough room to write why she made this so meaningful and great for us. Her passion, education and personality made it magical to understand the depth of discovery, wonder and history for the birthplace of Olympic games and Grecian art, sculptures, practices. This, along with Delphim, were the two most enthralling of the ancient tours. There was so much to see and witness in every direction and the museums are world-class.

It was fantastic to see everything and the food was great! Definitely a great place to get a bottle and hangout for awhile.

Our tour guide demonstrated the acoustics and it allowed us to understand the depth of ingenuity and science that went into building such architecture. It is an amazing place to see and the museum itself is fantastic as well. He really knew a great deal about the Peloponnesian people and peninsula.

The drive to the site, the museum and history. But it was incredible to be at the site and such an epicenter of the peninsula.

Please do not miss out on this destination. The view the entire journey was incredible. The sapphire water of the Mediterranean was almost always visible and the drive was fun. This was such a magnificent site and to see how much is visible & explorable will make it a favorite.

Greece is beautiful and this site truly is a must see. There is nothing else like it. It truly is for the experience of the natural rock formations, the wonderful and townspeople, but also the monasteries.

Alex, our tour guide was incredible! Very knowledgeable. You could tell he loved it. I just want to give the biggest shout out to him and acknowledge is personality and teaching. The KimKim and the company Greece Insiders truly knows how to build an incredible journey and time with people educated in the history.

Above Blue was in a prime location, especially for the sunset. We really enjoyed our own private balcony, private, hot tub, and breakfast in-room. Santorini is extremely picturesque, and the location in Imerovigli was superb. Easy transportation to Oia! The only downside was the shower and sink water, which we were told was not potable. The water emanated a very foul, sewer– like smell, and was very salty. The smell didn’t bother us when the bathroom door was closed, but when showering, it was slightly bothersome.

The hotel is modern and clean but there was noise from a night club in one day and we struggled to sleep. They also didnt give us a room in the same hotel building, they sent us to another building 30 meters away which we were not informed about in advance.

Nice hotel BUT a bit old and bathroom wasn't pleasant. When you have a shower the water leaks everywhere in there. Also the AC sometimes hang. We enjoyed our stay in Mykonos but I might choose a better hotel next time.
