Eirini Tzoka

My name is Eirini, I am a travel specialist and I was born and raised in Athens. My family originated from Northwestern Greece, and it was this area's raw beauty and long-standing heritage that got me interested in culture and nature. I aim to give you a sense of what Greece has to offer; an opportunity to learn about its rich history and culture, enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, and bring unforgettable memories back home!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in Athens, Peloponnese, the Greek mainland, and the Greek islands. Let me take you on exclusive food tours and wine tastings, connect you with leading archaeologists to get a deeper understanding of our rich history, and explore off-the-beaten-track natural parts of Greece."

How did you get involved in travel?

"It's about who you are and where you came from to get to where you are today. My studies in Social & Cultural Anthropology played a vital role in my view of traveling and experiencing the unknown. I have always wanted to be "a new pair of glasses" for someone exploring my country and help them as a local friend."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"I consider every trip unique and unforgettable. However, Crete will always hold a special place in my heart and especially.. in my stomach. Cretan cuisine is an unforgettable experience in itself and along with the remnants of its glorious civilizations, its impressive mountainous landscapes and gorges, as well as its wonderful picturesque beaches, make Crete for me a heaven on earth!"

Recent trip reviews for Eirini

This was a great trip and Eirini was so helpful in pulling all the details together. The accommodations were all good, especially in Naxos and Santorini. Our cooking class was so much fun and the tours of the wineries were excellent. Our driver, Lefty was absolutely the best. All the pick ups and deliveries were on time, professional and courteous. This was our second time traveling with Kim Kim and are very satisfied. We have recommended them to many people

We had the most wonderful time visiting Greece this September! Working with our agent Eirini was a pleasure. She was very attentive to our needs and responded within hours, sometimes minutes, and it's something to consider because of the time difference! All of our drivers and tour guides were always on time and very knowledgeable about topics they were discussing or introducing. We really enjoyed spending time with our first guide Helena on the first day of arrival in Athens. She answered all the questions and impressed us with the vast knowledge of the ancient history of Greece. We got to know some of the drivers and enjoyed all the information they provided on the way to our destinations. Especially we enjoyed the company of Afanasios(not sure of the spelling of the name) on the way to Meteora.
Overall, we are very happy with the company and our agent Eirini and would not think twice recommending their services to our friends.

The location was great - not far from all the important places. We were not very impressed with the breakfast, but service was very good, and the room was clean. Access to the elevator was a bit challenging - if you have a heavy suitcase - make sure you have someone to help you if you can't carry the suitcase by yourself...

Eirini was so knowledgeable and responsive with ideas to create the most perfect trip for our family of 5. The experience in pairing our travel needs with Eirini’s extensive network to create a custom vacation was a great match. She understood our goals, actively level, and budget, and inserted her knowledge of climate, crowds, and seamless logistics. It was a best in class, interactive experience for us, and would highly recommend Eirini and KimKim. Thank you for sharing the best of your country and people with us!

We wanted a low-stress, memorable family vacation in Greece to celebrate our daughter's college graduation, and Eirini and the KimKim team exceeded expectations! We shared what we like to do and Eirini created a perfect itinerary focused on the local food and culture with plenty of time to kick back with a book and relax. Highlights were the food tour of Naxos with Natasha, a wonderfully, enthusiastic guide and the walking tour of small villages with Stella who was amazingly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, giving us aromatherapy treats from obliging trees and introducing us to an adorable fennel-loving donkey. But all of our guides and activities, without fail, exceeded expectations, and the fellow travelers we met in our groups along the way only enhanced each experience. I very much appreciated not having to worry about the details and knowing Eirini and team were available to answer our questions, which they always did very promptly. Highly recommend Eirini and KimKim!

We had such a pleasant experience. Staff was professional, punctual and helpful. The view from our king suite were absolutely stunning, we can see the ocean and city below. Breakfast was delicious, the suite sits on a steep hill but most drivers know how to navigate the roads, also the staff can pick you up with the golf cart too or if you want a good workout you can walk up the hill. It truly wasn't a inconvenience for us at all. We wanted to stay longer!
