Rebeccas communication was fabulous; quick and on point. Naxos, Santorini and Crete exceeded our expectations.
Lazarus in Santorini was the best guide! Quick wit, knowledgeable and interesting. (And Panos was a great driver!). (George was awesome too— to Cape Sounion).
Hotels Belle Epoque and Elia Ermou— great locations, loved the view at Elia Ermou. 😀
Naxos Island Escapes— the hosts/managers were wonderfully gracious and hospitable. Lovely people and amazing breakfasts. The accommodations were not very functional: bathroom basement 1st floor, bedroom 3rd floor. No counter spaces. Seating was odd. But they were so sweet and welcoming we didnt mind.
Kasimatis by La Perla: perfect!! Gorgeous, comfortable, great location, loved the balcony and view! The breakfasts!! 🤤🤤. Too much and too irresistible to not eat every bite! And when other nearby hotels lost power, ours dod not; we had a generator.
My only regret was not listening more closely to Rebecca. Her original itinerary was better without my requested changes. All that i asked for were my least favorite parts of the trip. (Palace if Knossos/Heraklion). Loved Chania, wished we could have spent more time there.
We seriously appreciated the food suggestions!!
We would absolutely recommend Rebecca and KimKim (and /or use again!)
Thank you! It was the perfect vacation! All the transfer drivers were prompt courteous and welcoming. Cant say enough great things. 😀

We asked for a beachfront hotel and got it, no real interactions with staff. No problems with the hotel, just regretted not staying in Old Town Chania.
