Greece: Athens, Naxos, Santorini, Crete

Greece | Aug 28 - Sep 18, 2023

Antonis did a great job planning our trip to Greece. He listened to our feedback and catered the trip specifically to our needs. The hotels were clean and well located and the activities were perfect for our adventurous and active lifestyles! A few of the activities that we appreciated most were the “Magnificent Athens” tour (Zakia K. our guide was knowledgeable and full of passion as we toured the Parthenon, acropolis and other sites), the Naxos bike ride (Nikos was a great guide and we loved that the bike shop was family owned and we got tons of exercise), the Fira to Oira hike on Santorini (Agatha was our guide and her passion and energy was inspiring, and the hike kept us challenged), and finally the Samaria Gorge hike. We loved the hike and were so glad to have someone pick us up and ensure we were in the right places at the right time. We probably didn’t need a guide throughout the hike, but Georgios was great nonetheless. Lots of challenge and beautiful views with this last hike and that’s exactly what we wanted. We enjoyed the winery visit in Heraklion so much! The driver wasn’t really sure what to do with us with an early pick up and the winery wasn’t quite sure what package we received, but with some chatting everything was figured out and it was a great day!

Finally, we most appreciated how prompt and easy the transfers were between airports, ferries and hotels. Wonderfully arranged and took the thinking out of it for us.

We can’t thank KimmKimm enough and especially Antonis for their help!

The driver seemed to have too much time between pick up and drop off at the winery and he did not really know how to use the time. Maybe a direct ride to the winery would have been best. All worked out just fine.

Private tour of Eleftherna and Rethymno Villages

Rethymno

Great way to see sites we would not have seen otherwise! The monastery was great.

The Unique Private Tour Of Samaria Gorge

Chania

Amazing hike! We love a challenge and this hit the mark. Rocky with a steep, steep decline but the views made it all worthwhile. It was also awesome to end in the village and enjoy lunch and the beach. It was a very long day though and we weren’t aware ahead of time that we would have a long ferry and drive home. Plan for a full day. So glad we did it! We also were prepared with serious hiking shoes which was helpful.

Georgios was a good guide. However, we realized that we really didn’t need a guide. We really appreciated the drivers though!

Very helpful to have experienced drivers to get you to the top/start and to get you home on the winding roads.
