KimKim and Berat provided an outstanding Turkish Treat

KimKim and Berat provided an outstanding vacation in Turkey for us. It was particularly helpful that whenever we had a question or needed a suggested activity, we could always contact Berat. She always promptly responded, often with specific suggestions such as excellent dining choices and places to go.
When there were huge lines for the mosques in Istanbul, KimKim's guide suggested an alternative, the cisterns, as a place to start. Not only did that provide an memorable sight, by the time we finished, the mosque lines were completely gone allowing us to walk right in.
All the travel logistics were in place -- people to pick up us and reservations in place.
For anyone considering a vacation in Turkey, we highly recommend booking it through KimKim. This was our second KimKim vacation. Now that we're back, time to start thinking about the next trip with them.
Hotel Reviews
Charming, well located, hotel responsive to some plumbing issues.
Restaurants were amazing, especially the vegetarian tasting meal. Friendly waitstaff.
Hotel was fine. Blaring music in one of the restaurants but the next night it was quieter.
Weird environment; smell from thermal waters. Only buffet dinner available which was just adequate. Not up to the standards of the other hotels on the trip.
Huge accessibility issues for anyone over 30 years old. Very rocky road from the reception desk to the room making the walk to meals treacherous. Layout of the rooms not idea with bathroom on a different level from the bedroom -- again an issue for older travelers. On the other hand, the staff were over the top friendly and accommodating. Meals, once you got the the dining room were very good.
Excellent location looking out over the Bosphorus, walking distance to many of the key sites, tasty Indian restaurant on site.
