10 Great Days in Greece
Greece

Sep 15 - Sep 24, 2024
Our 10-day trip to Greece was, in a word, memorable. I had never heard of Kim Kim before but I have to say that they provided a great service in planning the trip and a great way to enjoy it. Highlights of our custom-designed itinerary included the walking tour of the Acropolis and Plaka district of Athens with guide Angela, the catamaran cruise around Santorini, the Greek cooking evening on Naxos with guide/driver Spiros and hosts/instructor Yannis and Maria. We were met at every stop by drivers organized by Welcome Pickups and all of these were punctual, friendly and informative.
Many thanks to Lea and Gustavo for all their work in planning and setting up all the detailed arrangements.
Hotel Review
We were a little surprised by the number of steps down to the hotel, but the views from it were spectacular, with very nice outdoor spaces and friendly, accommodating staff. Special thanks and kudos to the porters who lugged our cases up and down the steps!
Activity Reviews
This was a great afternoon/evening! The number of people on the cruise was appropriate to the catamaran so that we didn't feel crowded at all. The crew were very friendly and helpful and the barbeque meal was very good too.
We didn't really do this activity because the steep terrain made it a bit intimidating.
This was a special opportunity to meet and interact with "real" Naxians who were very welcoming and hospitable.
We had a very nice day at Agrios Prokopios. This included a very nice lunch and leisurely stroll along the foreshore.
This was a nice activity but not outstanding in my opinion. I felt that the tour of the 'garden' was a bit rushed. However, like the Naxos farm visit, it was great to see something of the island that wasn't a typical tourist stop.
Following Lea's advice we had a very nice walk around the narrow streets near the old port, with a nice lunch along the way.
