Cavos Hotel & Suites

Tinos

Super nice location and big rooms! Felt very luxurious. If you are big on cocktails however, the bar only makes a few of the common ones and they were not as good as we could find other places. However, the food and local drinks were very enjoyable! The pool is also very very nice. There is AC in the rooms, but it is only turned on when you are currently in the room. This is how it is all over Greece from our experiences.

I loved the staff, but I wasn’t sure were else to mention this: the reception opens at 9am, and this is a problem when your flight leaves at 8:30am and you need to check out and pay the taxes on your room. Who I think was the owner did come down and open up early for us, but we had to get one of the breakfast staff to call her and explain our situation.

Hike & Cook in Naxos Villages

Naxos

SPECTACULAR! This was the coolest experience. The couple was so authentic and very hospitable and friendly. Our translator was super sweet and very knowledgeable. What was so cool with to me was that the translator (as the couple speaks no English) and the couple were actually good friends. It wasn’t just a job to either of them, they all would have been enjoying each other’s company without us being there, so it was like we were invited to a friends house for a casual but fun and delicious meal.

We are very happy with our experience with Kimkim. Nadia was very responsive to our requests and quickly gained a good understanding of our goals and intentions for the trip. She selected high-quality venues and experiences for us, and gave us all the resources we needed to feel confident that we could make the most of our time in Greece.

The trip went very smoothly from start to finish. The hotels were all of good quality in excellent locations. All of our drivers and guides were professional and welcoming. Particularly memorable tour guides were 1. Penny (Delphi) who went out of her way to engage the children and help us see and learn as much as possible of the ruins in a few hours, and 2. Celia (food tour), who was very fun for all of us including the children and also knowledgable and generous with her time and energy. Andreas (driver to Delphi) was also extremely kind and fun to get to know during our long car ride. Feedback for Anna (kids mythology tour) is that at times it was difficult to hear her above the traffic or other city noise (needs a louder voice or wait until we are in a quiet place to speak) - but she did teach us a lot when we could hear her. For Manos (Knossos) - we were a bit frustrated when twice he stopped to take an extended call on his cell phone during our tour; other than that he was knowledgable and made the tour very informative and engaging.

A shoutout also goes to the manager of the Hotel Ariadne in Naxos, who was extremely welcoming and kind to us throughout our stay. We would heartily recommend his hotel to others looking for a stay in Agios Prokopios.

On this trip we achieved exactly the balance we were looking for in visiting historical sites, experiencing Greek culture, eating the best local food, and enjoying the beauty of the Mediterranean while avoiding big tourist traps. Will definitely use kimkim for future trips and have already recommended it to others.

Flavors of Athens Food Tour for Families

This was a really fun way to learn about Greek cuisine and culture and be able to try some of Athens' best products.

Very impressive tour - we left feeling VERY full and with our arms full of take-home goodies.

Restaurant Suggestions in Naxos

Naxos

Most of the suggested restaurants were not within walking distance of our hotel, and we did not have a car. Eventually we figured out how to use the public bus to get to the port where one of the restaurants was, but mostly we just ate at restaurants close to our hotel which were ok but nothing too memorable. Our dining experience in Naxos was definitely inferior to that in Heraklion and Athens -- not bad, but nothing memorable like the many highlights we had in the other places.

This was the trip of a lifetime. Angela worked through the details of our itinerary with us, tweaking it as we customized it. She was extremely responsive.

Alexis was a fabulous guide, allowing us to change our plans and then showed us a number of sights that fed our archaeological hunger that were off the beaten path.

Janne was a great driver and turned out to be a wonderful guide on his own as he got us from our hotel in Athens to Delphi and Meteora and back to Athens. He gave us a nice bit of color along the way.

Nicole gave us a tour of Therassia with lots of local information and history. The tour was a bit of death march up hills and stairs, but we saw wonderful caves, a beautiful church, and tasted local figs and plants along the way and got the triumphal sprig of rosemary when we reached the pinnacle!

The one thing I would recommend is doing the tour of Athens and the Acropolis+museum in two four hour days. Or waiting until you have fully recovered from the jet lag. It was more than a bit of a death march and, by the afternoon at the museum, we all felt it was interesting, but just wanted to lie down.

I highly recommend this kind of tour. It was private, just the three of us, and even though the tour guides have an agenda, which gets in the way of in depth exploration, every moment was orchestrated to give us the highest and most comfortable experience possible (except when marching, but that is easily adjusted for in the future).

I will never go on a tour with a large group after this experience and I will definitely use KimKim again for my next trip.

Antonis knows what he is doing!! Amazing trip from beginning to end!! From our transfers always being on time and in style, the adventures and tours he planned for us to the perfect locations of all of our hotels! Trip of a lifetime! Thank you Antonis and Kimkim!!

Where to begin? This was our first trip to Greece and we utilized KimKim to help us navigate the many choices available to us. Rebecca was our local specialist and provided us with constant care while in Greece. She answered our questions, recommended activities and even made us reservations, all on the fly! We especially loved our guide, Apostolos, in Santorini, who took us everywhere, and the sailing cruise from Mykonos to Rhenia and Delos. Gorgeous stay at Petit Palace in Santorini (highly recommend!) and great food just about everywhere. Thank you, thank you — a carefree, incredible trip!

These bungalows just across the street from the new port in Mykonos offer a lovely view, nice pool, and friendly, helpful staff. Their morning buffets are excellent. It’s a climb (lots of stairs) to some of the rooms. Access to the port for ferries into town or for Fast Ferries to other islands is wonderful; however, it is hard to get anywhere otherwise. During the busy season, no taxis can be found, buses are packed, and walking alongside the highway is (very) sketchy. If you don’t have a car (God help you for driving in Mykonos), getting to the famous beaches is nearly impossible.

This was a great adventure and gave us a true feel for Mykonos and Greece in general.

There were only two of us, plus our guide, so we drove in a nice car instead of a big bus.

Our trip to Greece was amazing. Angela helped me through the booking process and checked in on us during our trip to make sure everything was going well and as planned. This was the first time we'd used a travel service and tour guide, but will not be the last. It was extremely well planned and hit everything that we wanted to see as well as a few extras from our amazing tour leader Giannis Machairas.

I really can't stress enough how much I would recommend Giannis as a tour leader to anyone that likes to have fun even during the boring parts of the trip like driving. We really made a friend for life there.

The mountains and oil trees were amazing and literally everywhere. Delphi was my favorite spot to visit. The ruins were amazing and the view is like none other. The Acropolis and Acropolis museum was also amazing to see in person. The sheer size they used to build stuff at thousands of years ago is astonishing.

I was on the fence about using kimkim as we had never used a travel agency, but they (Angela) did an amazing job and I would highly recommend them. There is nothing that I would change about our trip except maybe make it longer!

To top it all off I got to meet Chris in person in Athens. He didn't have to meet us but he took the time and that is the kind of human you are working with in Chris.

Amalia, our local specialist, planned the most unforgettable honeymoon trip we could have ever asked for. She was attentive to every detail and thoughtful in choosing activities that both my husband and I would enjoy. We wanted a delicate balance between fun excursions and time to relax and explore independently. Amalia did an excellent job of communicating with us to create this perfect itinerary and was flexible in making any changes we requested and answering all the questions we had along the way!

We were fortunate to have 3 weeks in Greece and wanted to experience places and sights that many tourists may sometimes overlook. Upon arriving in Greece we were gifted Ouzo, some delicious Greek mountain tea, and provided with all the documents, tickets, and information we would need for our trip from Amalia's team. We began our time in Athens and soon took an amazing road trip through the mainland to visit places like Nafplio and Olympia. Our next stops were the beautiful islands of Zakynthos and my family's home island of Kefalonia. Amalia created a detailed itinerary for each day of our trip and perfectly coordinated with local businesses and travel companies to ensure our travels between locations were smooth and stress-free.

Our itinerary included incredible suggestions for restaurants, must-see attractions, detailed information, and insightful history of each location. One of the absolute coolest parts of what Amalia put together was that it was all accessible through an app called Vamoos. This app enabled us to get real-time updates on flights, ferries, and direct links to maps and directions needed for our trip.

The excursions picked and booked by Amalia were beyond delightful. Each guide and company member we encountered was courteous, kind, and very knowledgeable. We also enjoyed the balance of private excursions and a few group excursions where we had the pleasure of meeting other people from all over the world. Some of our favorites included a private guided Acropolis tour and horseback riding on the beach.

Each of our hotel accommodations blew us away - we had the most incredible views and were always located near many shops, restaurants, and attractions. Our top hotels included 18 Micon St in Athens, The Gambello Hotel in Nafplio, Hotel Europa in Olympia, and our favorite hotel was The Balcony Hotel in Zakynthos, which came with a panoramic sea-view balcony.

The rental cars we drove during our stay were perfectly sized, brand-new, and from companies with kind and responsive staff members. We always felt that we were their top priority and were thankful to have been met upon arrival in each location and transported in a timely manner to and from the airport or other locations.

Amalia and her team were always available if we had any questions or needed assistance. We are truly thankful to her and the trip she created and came home with a lifetime of memories as newlyweds!

Chris really listened and created a first time trip to Athens and the Islands that was both full of informative and delicious experiences, hotels with amazing views and breakfasts within our budget and the right balance of experiences and free days for downtime. We wanted this trip to be both an immersion and a vacation and Chris delivered!

I agree with Deepti. I would give 2 STAR to Bakia travel company in Santorini, for the reason, they came late to pick up from the ferry arrival, the came late to pick up for the tour. The tour was supposed to start at 3:30 pm, but the driver showed up at 4:15 pm. The driver seemed disinterested to show us places and tried to skip the red sand beach and sunset rather he recommended us to take a long break at a restaurant on the black sand beach, the tour car was run down and was extremely noisy. the kind of money we paid, we expected a better tour guide. The hotel "Akilo suites" had a dungy smell. Athens and Naxos were great. Naxos was awesome. Cynao suites was awesome. the tour guide was awesome!

Thank you to Harris and the kimkim team for helping us plan an amazing trip to Greece! We really wanted to see some of the less touristy areas, but weren't sure where to even start. With kimkim we settled on Syros and had an amazing time on a very underrated island! We did some more popular destinations too (Athens and Naxos), and each location was so incredible in it's own unique way. The food was some of the best we ever had and all of our excursions were so fun.

Where I felt a bit let down was with the communication aspect. Certain information wasn't appropriately communicated to hotels ahead of time and when we went on a food tour, they hadn't been informed about allergies so my boyfriend missed out on trying multiple dishes, even though we were told that kimkim would notify them about our allergies. For the price, it was very unfortunate to not be able to participate in every part of the food tour. Other than that, it was a great experience!

I can't say enough about the services that we received through KimKim, and more importantly, our trip specialist Ina. My son initially found KimKim as a potential resource for a trip that we were planning to Italy and Greece. I started some dialogue with them about 4 months ahead of our travels, and we were connected with Ina as our local specialist. We gave her some general thoughts as to where and what we wanted to see and do, and she did an outstanding job in making suggestions and helping to customize our trip. Given that the Greece part of our trip was going to be our two adult kids traveling out of the country on their own for the first time, we were probably a bit high maintenance with our constant questions and pestering, but Ina was extremely responsive and helpful. The icing on the cake was having our kids get to meet Ina and spend part of a day with her as their local resource and guide...they absolutely loved it! Our kids reached out to KimKim and the Travel12 team for assistance a number of times during their travels in Greece, and they were always helpful and responsive. This was our first experience with a travel service, and it was outstanding in every respect. Thank you Ina and the KimKim/Travel12 team for providing us with a great travel experience and great memories. All our best, Steve, Deb, Hannah, and Ethan.

Chris was absolutely phenomenal. I have used many agents over the years to book trips and Chris was thorough, planned a perfect trip and kept in contact before and during the trip. He was extremely helpful and I left for the trip in full confidence of a successful adventure. I would very very highly recommend him and wish he books trips all over the world. The service was a 11/10!

Acropolis Guided Tour

Athens

It was nice to get up early and beat the crowd and the heat. The tour guide was phenomenal and we felt like the time flew by. We learned so much. What a great tour starting from our hotel to Acropolis and back.

you have to go on a boat in Santorini and loved this ship and variety of activities. my family loved the swim and how could you not enjoy the bar and music. it is a wonderful way to see the sunset in a different perspective. it was so relaxing and peaceful. Great dinner and crew.

Welcome to Santorini

Santorini

we appreciated that we had free time the day of travel. it can be tiring and nice to get to see the place on our own first....or rest to get acclimated.

Overall I thought KimKim and Antonis were excellent. They helped us put together a last minute trip to Greece that felt truly amazing. There was one thing I did not like however. You do not receive a breakdown of costs for individual hotels, events, transfers or transportation tickets. I have been told by KimKim that this is a function of Greek law, but I still am not a fan of one bill with a total at the end. For that reason I would not use KimKim again unless they were willing to give me a price breakdown. Otherwise, the lodging choices were excellent; all transfers went smoothly; we loved the sunset cruise set up by Antonis (best we have ever been on) and we enjoyed our trip tremendously. Thanks KimKim!
