Ioannis Antoniadis

Traveling isn't just a profession for me; it's a way of life. I embark on journeys to discover new destinations, engage with diverse individuals, and immerse myself in unfamiliar cultures. Each expedition is an opportunity for new experiences, and every place I visit becomes a heartfelt memory to be grateful for. As of now, my journey has taken me to 38 captivating countries, and I'm eager to continue counting.

If there's one invaluable lesson I've gleaned over the years, it's this: there's no better moment than the present to plan your next adventure! While money can always be earned, the time to embark on a journey of self-discovery and exploration is a finite and irreplaceable resource.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"My travel preferences align with my passions. I'm drawn to history and philosophy, making cultural journeys a favorite. I'm also an outdoor enthusiast, so adventure travel is a must. Plus, as a skipper, sailing brings unbeatable freedom and relaxation into the mix."

How did you get involved in travel?

"My journey in the travel industry began as a local guide in Thessaloniki. I crafted walking tours and introduced more than 15,000 travelers to my beloved hometown over three years. This experience inspired me to expand my offerings, offering thematic activities throughout Greece. After the pandemic, I ventured to Amsterdam and joined kimkim as the development and operations manager for Greece. Now, I'm thrilled to continue this partnership as a local specialist, ready to craft unique and personalized itineraries for every traveler."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Roughly two months prior to the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic, I embarked on a journey to Vietnam alongside my best friend. Upon our arrival in Ho Chi Minh City, we secured two 125cc motorbikes and embarked on an adventurous month-long expedition, covering over 3400 km throughout the country.

This voyage proved to be truly magnificent and an incredibly enriching experience! The awe-inspiring mountains, delectable cuisine, stunning natural landscapes, mesmerizing sunsets, and the exceptionally hospitable locals made it an unforgettable adventure."

Waaahhh, this place is perfect to pause and relax. Christos and Eva have been both extremely warm and friendly! Christos was always helpful, he toured us around, gave us recommendations where to eat, gave us directions where to walk around. He kept us safe althroughout our tour around Santorini, making sure we have the best experience. Hotel was quiet and serene, away from the busy villages. It was kept clean everyday. Foods served were fresh every morning. Overall, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

An unexpected one day taxi strike occurred in Athens and Lea arranged for a private professional driver on short notice. Can't praise her and Welcome Pickups enough every step along the way.

Our travel expert, Lea, put together our trip to Greece that met and exceeded our needs and expectations. Most everything went smoothly and when a small glitch occurred they were there to correct things immediately. An unexpected one day taxi strike occurred in Athens and Lea arranged for a private professional driver on short notice. Can't praise her and Welcome Pickups enough every step along the way. Every driver was on time friendly and courteous. Tours and guides were terrific especially the full day personalized tour of Delphi. It was a VIP experience. We were also very pleased with the 3-5 star accommodations that were all centrally located, safe and clean. I had never heard of Kim Kim before this trip and relied on the reviews of previous travelers before taking the chance. Add my voice to the strong supporters of Kim Kim!
