We highly recommend KimKim Travels for a trip to Greece!

Greece | Apr 8 - Apr 15, 2023

Located in central Athens this hotel was a charming, small hotel on one of the main streets of Athens and was in the midst of lovely outdoor restaurants, high end shopping, as well as local shops with trinkets. It was also very close to the Acropolis. The breakfast was hearty. The staff was polite. The bathrooms were a bit tight but then the stay was only for a few days. The only recommendation I would provide is to have the twin beds in each room separated.

Loved its location--right near the water and main square! This was an older hotel so the rooms were larger and also the bathrooms were larger. The decor had an old world charm.

Fantastic central location! Walkable to the main city center and other places. Beautifully built in the iconic Greek housing style. Bathrooms were however very small. The owner of the hotel came to the breakfast room to greet folks...how wonderful is that! She is an amazing lady who has been in the restaurant for 40 years we were told. She was so kind and welcoming. The staff was also very friendly. The outdoors near the swimming pool was beautifully decorated and one could see the rising sun in the mornings. great place for the hotel to consider offering yoga classes!

Overall this hotel was good in terms of the room size and also the size of the bathroom. The area of its location did not appear to be the best. The hotel door was locked at all times and only one person sat at the reception. Did not get time to taste their breakfast as we had an early morning flight. Staff was friendly. Someone was playing loud music all night. Perhaps passing cars that came and stood in front of the hotel. Not sure.

Our tour guide Eva was very knowledgeable about the Acropolis and its history. She made the tour very interesting and engaging. We appreciated the elevator that allowed us to go up so we did not have to walk all the way up. Overall, a great experience.

We very much appreciated the free afternoons we had. It was more than a sufficient amount of time to explore the city on our own. Our hotel was in a wonderful location, so it was easy to walk to different restaurants and go shopping.

We appreciated the list of recommendations for all the places we visited from our driver cum guide-Giannis-- on the way to Nafplio including a visit to the famous ancient theater site, Epidaurus, where we learned about the history and connection of healing between art and performance. It was an amazing experience, and we were grateful that the car took us right up to the top so we didn't have to walk. The local guide there was George and he was amazing in his explanations about the site!

The sunset sailing tour in Oia on the luxury catamaran was a highlight of our trip. The cruise was very nice, and the members on board were kind and welcoming. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed the views of the beautiful architecture of Santorini with the white-washed buildings and swimming pools on balconies as well as the blue domes of churches from the water. We also watched the breathtaking sunset from the Catamaran. We even came back to the same place-- Oia, the next day because we loved it so much. We highly recommend this spot if you are looking for photos.

We had an excellent experience with Giannis our guide in Nafplio. He picked us from Athens and drove us to Nafplio. His van had snacks and water and he was a great conversationalist! Our specialist Eleni suggested Nafplio and we are so glad we went. Giannis was an amazing guide, showing us many monuments and interesting places, such as the place where the Mythical Hydra visited and the Corinth canal on the way to Nafplio. We would have never known about these places if it wasn't for him. We also had a wine tasting with lunch at Nemean wines. The lunch was supposed to be light, but it was a big beautiful delicious spread! This was our favorite meal of the trip. Highly recommend this town, even though it is less known.

George, who was our guide in Nafplio, was an amazing guide who prepared a list of items and places for us to visit in Santorini. We shared that list with our guide in Santorini, Hercules who then created a wonderful day of sightseeing for us. He took us first to a monastery on top of a hill that many people don't know about. The views of Santorini from there are spectacular! We also went to Emporio, a small village with amazing architecture just like one sees in pictures! After that he took us to a winery from where the views of the other side of the island were fabulous! We also visited the excavation site in Akrotiri rounding off the tour at the Art Space and Wine Museum where we got to taste local Santorini wines, and admire the work of Greek artists in their gallery. Overall, we had a great experience with Hercules and the van driver, Thomas, and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santorini.
