Kimkim Trip Reviews for Greece

Excellent and friendly staff and possibly the best hotel view in the world. Cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Our tour guide made this amazing.

The resort was beautiful and the owner and employees were extremely hospitable. We definitely want to return.

Hotel is beautiful location is perfect away from crowds. Very private rooms. Loved the private jacuzzis!

This was a nice hotel for staying in the city close to restaurants and shops. Room was small but it worked since we weren’t in our rooms very much.

Hotel was nice but room was small. We were only there a short time so it was fine.

We enjoyed this very much! Group was great and guide was extremely knowledgeable!

This was a nice experience. We enjoyed having the one on one with our guide who was very knowledgeable and fun!

This was an interesting experience. Leaving the city and seeing more of the countryside and small villages around Athens was great!

Restaurant was beautiful - food was amazing! We had the very best table on the rooftop for the spectacular sunset thanks to our amazing travel agent - Angela- thank you!

This was a full day of exploring Crete. We enjoyed everything included especially since we were only there one day.

Very nice hotel, a longer walk from the central city but very close to nice clean beaches and very helpful staff!

Perfect hotel for a visit to Heraklion, very walkable to all the food sites and food in the city.

This is the second time I have hiked the gorge and It is always an amazing and breathtaking experience. Having the help of getting out there and back through this trip was a huge help.

The Chania wine tour was a must! We had a lot of fun with our guide and the small group tasting local olive oil and wine!

Our guide was amazing and was a wealth of information about Crete during the Bronze age! Knossos and the museum are a must-see in Heraklion.

Perfect way to end your trip to Heraklion with an amazing day cruise to Dia! The water was incredible and the staff was friendly and amazing. Overall very fun and relaxing trip.

Fantastic from start to finish! Demetrius and staff were fun, courteous, and cooked an amazing meal!

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Our guide Elsa was fun, knowledgeable, and did a great job. The wines were delicious. We particularly enjoyed the second winery, in an art museum, and LOVED our guide there. The food at the restaurant was fantastic (though a sunset view would have been better, in this case it didnt matter because it was overcast!) We had a blast.

We enjoyed this tour very much and our guide, Vickie, was extremely knowledgeable. This is a very specific type of tour- it's a mythology tour, limited to the acropolis, Olympian Zeus temple and the Agora. For us we would have preferred perhaps 2.5 hours of the mythology behind these sites and then a walking tour of some Athens neighborhoods as we didn't know the city at all.

I don't know what "feel like a local" is but I assume this is our Organic Farm tour? IF so, this was fantastic!! The farm is absolutely stunning and impressive. Alkis, the farmer, was so much fun to talk to and unbelievably knowledgeable and impressive in what he does. The porch on which we had lunch was stunning, the views spectacular, the and food to die for! Could not have been better!!

We didn't do the sunset tour. Based on our preference, we did a daytime tour, seeing the part of the island we didn't see on the first day. We had lunch at a fishing village and had a great time.

Very fun. Alex was a great guide and we enjoyed the cooking class. The next day we rented a car to see some of the towns we didn't visit on the tour, and agreed that the towns we saw on the tour were better.

The cooking class and winery were great. The lunch was very good.

Oh my, so beautiful, we looked onto the Gate of Apollo from our room. Just a block from the old city, perfect spot to explore Chora. Lovely breakfast.

Unique, in the heart of Plaka, friendly staff.

So close to everything! Lovely rooftop breakfast looking towards the Colosseum.

Amazing staff!!!! beautiful beach and great location

This one was one of our least favorited, although in a great location the bathrooms had a lot to be desired, very small showers

Place was in one of the best location, super easy to get to all of the attractions

Again a great location

This was probably one of the best hotel we stayed in, which we had had a bit more time here

Also a great place, great location

This hotel is super clean and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. I loved the view from our balcony of the city. The rooftop bar was amazing for a great view of the Parthenon at night. They also were so accommodating when my mom accidentally left her passport in our room.

This hotel is so lovely. It is clean. It has charm. It's close to the center of town. The view from the balcony is beautiful. The staff are so helpful and willing to give suggestions or help make a reservation. The breakfast is delicious and has so many options. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. There is a lot of space for parking close by.

This hotel was amazing. Similar to many beachfront resorts in the best ways. Our room had a fabulous view of the sea. This hotel is located just on the edge of the center of town which makes it quiet and pleasant but also easy to navigate from. You get a discount on the chairs with umbrellas as a guest. They have complimentary beach towels for you. They clean your room every day so no need to worry about sand everywhere. This room was not super spacious but it didn't need to be as we were out exploring the island at all times.

Very close to the port and very convenient for a one-night stay before our flight in the morning. The breakfast here was not as great or impressive. The staff were very direct and kind but not warm.

Michael was amazing! Can't recommend him highly enough. Having grown up in Athens and having a master's in history made him an amazing tour guide. He answered all of our questions and some. He took photos of us. He was extremely friendly and would highly recommend a tour with him. It was also easy to find our meeting point.

Costas is amazing! It was so great to learn about Greek food from such a masterchef. Both he and his wife were so friendly. I loved the wine tastings with dinner. I love talking to them about Greek food and history. I had a really lovely time. It's also so impressive that he cooked nearly all the food in front of us. Everything was so delicious.

Very fun adventure! This was a lovely excursion. It was fun too swim to lounge to eat the snacks food and wine that they brought. To chat with other travelers.

We really enjoyed getting to know Katarina and her mom. It was such a treat to be learning in their home which felt intimate. The food was amazing obviously. It was great learning about their lives and customs around food.

Location, Location, Location of a fantastic hotel. The hotel is directly across from the Lighthouse. We were in the superior suite which means our terrace overlooked the entire port and a sunrise view. The patio out our door has a beautiful sunset view. Irene was fantastic taking care of everything. I recommend the bed and breakfast options with the Greek breakfast.

Noble Suites was a fantastic place to start our trip. Our suite had a big picture window with a view of the lit-up Acropolis, which was an incredible sight to see upon arrival.

The view from Orizontes View Hotel was stunning. The hotel itself was nice, but the location and view were the main highlights.

Amymone Suites had a great location in downtown Nafplio, but the hotel itself was not particularly special. It was a little small, but that is to be expected in a downtown location. Overall, it was a good option given the location.

The guided tour of the Acropolis and the food and drink walk around Athens were fantastic. The tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable, quickly adapting to our interests and preferences. It was great having a private tour, as it allowed us to personalize the experience and have more in-depth conversations.

We expected a lunch and olive oil tasting at a farm, but it turned out to be at a campsite. We only got to taste one olive oil, and there wasn't much of a tour or explanation of the production process. On the bright side, the olive oil we tasted was good enough that we bought some to take home.

The wine tasting and lunch at the winery in Nemea were excellent. The lunch was a delicious three-course meal, and the wine tasting was informative and enjoyable.

The sunset catamaran cruise was amazing. The catamaran, crew, and other guests were all great. The food and drinks were excellent, and they even had a barbecue on the boat, serving fresh fish. The weather was perfect, and it was an overall fantastic experience.

Great site, room was generously sized and had awesome views.

Grest location but tiny room.

Room was tiny and basic. Wrestling lugage up and down steep stairs not easy.

Guide was great and the muesem, archealogical site and lunch were all great.

Our favorite activity. The weather was great.

So much fun and our guides were great!

This was our only "fail" as the ride was rescheduled and we were not aware. The rescheduled ride did not work so another time was agreed upon but road construiction shortened if from 3 hours to a little over an hour and a half. We killed the rest of the time hanging in a beach bar which was pleasant but not what we signed up for.

Our guide was very interesting and we learned a lot about Greek Culture.

Everyone was so nice and engaging. We ha a great time.

Well located , nice neighborhood and good breakfast

Super good views, comfortable room and nice bathroom. Good breakfast

Very good rest before returning home.

This was an absolute must if visiting Santorini. Tasos our tour guide was incredible in answering not only questions about the food, but local history, geology and mythology. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Great location to explore Athens on foot. Welcoming staff, clean rooms, perfect for our arrival in Greece. Would stay there again!

Great location. Views on upper floors are best. Staff was very friendly, helpful with finding parking which could be a problem (especially if you return to your hotel later in the evening from a drive). Hotel was a bit older, but very clean and very comfortable. Easy walking distance to ruins. Would stay here again.

Loved this hotel!!!!! Beautiful views, modern, clean, nice lobby and breakfast area. Loved the rustic stone. Location was easy walking distance to town, restaurants, and start of hikes. Parking can be problematic but staff helped us locate parking when we were out of options.

Wow! When we arrived, there was no one else booked at the hotel so we got upgraded to the Chalet. We had direct contact with the staff who were SO friendly, giving us tips on where to go explore, must-see's, where to eat, etc. They fed us such a plentiful breakfast that we asked them to wrap some of it up for us to snack later. This turned out to be a good decision as we were so early in the season that restaurants had closed early in town and this gave us food to eat that night. The chalet was such a welcome luxury at this point in our trip! We had our own parking spot too! We LOVED the Zagori Suites!

The Arcadion Hotel Room provided amazing views, easy walking to everything in town (restaurants, shops, historic monuments, and to fortresses). Bring a map or GPS to find your way around town as it is easy to get lost. The staff was very professional, helpful when assistance was requested, and watched our luggage dutifully for us on our last day and upon arrival (before check in was permitted). The internet signal was spotty but served our purposes.

We stayed at Avra Hotel Rafina on our last night before departing Athens. It was conveniently located (short drive back to airport), provided a free shuttle (drivers were quite helpful with luggage), and a nice view of the water/harbor. There were some authentic restaurants nearby for a late dinner, and was a safe place to go for a walk, even though we arrived quite late.

We had to change our route due to weather that day but the guide came ready with a driver to start us at a different point, away from the dark clouds. We ended up hiking down to the olive groves and learned much about the area while doing so. We loved our guide from Trekking Hellas!

Such a great tour and SO much food! We just couldn't eat it all.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to relate the history of greek mythology to today's world. She did not accompany us to the top but did let us know what we would find and prepared us for this. She was late arriving to meet us and seemed rushed to take us through our tour. Nonetheless, we appreciated her insight into what we were seeing.

Wow! This is an amazing destination that leaves me speechless! A Must-See in Greece for sure!

We had an experienced moutaineering guide who took us on a guided hike, shared his knowledge with us, and made the experience special.

The river was running at Class 1-2 rating, so it was an easy rafting experience. It was definitely a beautiful way to experience the gorge and the Voidomatis River without too much exertion. We had been hiking quite a bit, so this was a nice change of pace. Our guide and driver were fantastic and took plenty of pictures along the way for us.

We requested this activity be less food oriented, and more history oriented. They accommodated our interests and it turned out to be a great tour!

The views!!!! Lovely balcony and the room was so spacious.

Fantastic location, comfortable beds and a delicious breakfast. Modern amenities.

Our favourite hotel! Breakfast was out of this world! I’m sorry I didn’t get to try all the home made dishes - unbelievable!

Amazing history at Delos and wonderful cosmopolitan aspects of Mykonos.

Our favourite experience! Manos our guide was great! Such a brilliant way to see the countryside and delve into Greek culture with traditional Tavern meal, olive tasting and we visited a traditional cheese making farm.

The best weather helped make this trip magical.

This hotel is very clean, the location in the old part of Chania close to the water and central to the shops and restaurants. The room we were in was spacious and we had a little balcony that looked out on the street. The hotel is like an apartment next to restaurants and shops. We ate breakfast (part of the room rate) at a nearby restaurant and the food was amazing. Be sure to try the Crete breakfast if you stay there.

Great downtown location with an amazing view of the Acropolis. The breakfast buffet is very good and you can view the Acropolis as you eat. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. Very attentive hotel staff.

The white-splashed hotel was on the side of the cliff with amazing views of the bay, the island and all boats going by, including cruise ships that docked right below us. Sunsets were great. And the views at night are wonderful. It's about a 10 minute walk from the town but has restaurants and amenities nearby. Also, you could walk along the cliff in both directions to see churches, shops, restaurants, etc. We had a deck with chairs we could sit on to relax and take in the view. You do have to walk down and up stairs to get to the pools and restaurant for the breakfast buffet--which was very good. There is no elevator so you get your exercise going up and down the stairs--be sure to watch where you are going instead of the view!

We flew in at 8 pm and left at 3:30 am to catch our flight. The hotel is very convenient, right across the street from the airport. Staff were kind and efficient. Didn't get to try the food. Very nice hotel with great beds, big bathrooms, all the amenities you would have in a big city hotel.

This is a good hotel near the main market area and the port. The rooms are nice and the breakfast buffet was excellent--they opened it early just for us because we had an early ferry to catch. It's within walking distance of the main places to visit in town.

This was an excellent tour of the Acropolis--our guide was very knowledgeable and personalized the tour for the two of us. Then she took us around Athens describing the local cuisine and giving us the opportunity to try everything from baklava (the best I've every eaten, in a local taverna) to gyro sandwiches, with cheese pies, fresh olives and dried fruits and nuts in between. I was so stuffed I didn't eat the rest of the day.

Mystras is an amazing place that I didn't know about before. There is a lot to see and I recommend walking to the very top, which we didn't do. There isn't an "Ancient Sparta", so I think that is misleading. It was great to stop at Corinth on the way back to Athens.

The ruins are a work in progress, but still interesting. And there is a good museum that is a part of the tour. We were able to stand where the Apostle Paul probably preached and visualize what it would have looked like. We coupled this tour with the tour of Mystras, which was a good combo and use of time since it was on our way back to Athens. There were not many other people there--it was nice to get off the beaten track.

There were only 6 of us in the group so we got a lot of personal attention. It was fun to visit the little villages in the countryside. First we visited a park-like preserve with fruit trees and local flora. We saw an ancient Greek church and ate hot cheese pies/fresh squeezed OJ in a little town called Stylos. Next we toured a local cheese factory and sampled their cheese with local honey--so delicious. In another town we visited a local bakery, watched some of their processes and ate fresh bread with local olive oil. We visited some other local sites before ending at a Fres where we ate local cuisine at Koyvaros Taverna. Their Greek salad was the best!

We drove to a family farmhouse in Fres where we had our own workstation and learned how to make stuffed zucchini, peppers and tomatoes, cheese pies and a kind of bruschetta. In between we feed sheep, learned about the local history and saw tools and implements they used on the farm in the past. After the food was all cooked we had a huge meal and enjoyed each other's company. The setting was beautiful--our work tables were outside and we could see the mountains and countryside until the sun went down. The food, company and ambiance were amazing.

We went to a museum and learned about the history of Santorini, the Red Beach and to the ruins of the town Akrotiri, that are still being excavated and pieced together. Next was lunch that included delicious baked fish/veggies and a pana cotta with beetroot topping. Truly amazing food. We spent an hour at the Black Beach and shopping area, visited a church at the north end of the island and then ended the day watching the sunset from a restaurant on the tip of the island. It was beautiful!

The catamaran was very nice and the views and food were amazing. There were only 10 of us on board and our group meshed will together. The only problem was that it was too cold to get in the water. Not anyone's fault, many locals told us it was the coldest May in their memory.

Good location. Nice rooms and comfortable beds Breakfast buffet was had a lot of variety.

Hotel had good food and friendly staff. The location was 25 min to airport and near a ferry port. I would not consider this a tourist destination, but a transfer point. There was a nice beach but the weather and time of year -May- everything was closed. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Rained out… but the guides took us on an alternative adventure. Cave church, olive oil factory and a wine tasting at a monastery. Will return for this

Guide was knowledgable and friendly. The museum was well done. It was great to see the site after the indoor exhibits. A must see

We stayed in Oia and enjoyed the quaint town… great food and spectacular views. We took a self-guided hike from Oia to Capitol Rock. And we stopped for lunch. While it was a bit crowded to get to the iconic vistas…. But you can’t go to Santorini without seeing them. People were friendly and food was good.
