We have just returned from the most unforgettable trip to Greece! It was an amazing action packed trip that we couldn’t have done without the wonderful guidance from Ina our trip organiser. She understood the brief perfectly. It was a 2 week adventure in Athens, Naxos and Santorini for my 13 year old daughter and I.

I had never heard of Naxos but it ended up being our favourite place. It was the perfect balance of Island relaxation, ancient history and a deep dive into Greek culture. It also had some lovely shopping and great opportunities for some Instagram shots!

Athens was magical in all it’s big city hustle and bustle and of course the Acropolis was breathtaking.

Santorini was stunning despite not so picturesque weather. The car rental was an adventure! We had a couple of hiccups with the car not starting on one occasion, but the customer care team in Greece (Irene, Christos and Mariann) were so responsive and we resolved the issue straight away. They couldn’t have been more helpful and reassuring if they tried.

All future holidays will be organised through Kim Kim. I cannot recommend their service highly enough. If you are going to Greece - you MUST connect with Ina. She is fantastic!

Thank you Ina and the team for making the trip a perfect balance of action and relaxation. 💙

Not the ferry’s fault, but it was a windy day with choppy water. A few passengers were sick. We had taken our seasickness tablets Kwells prior and had no sicknesses! In fact we liked the rocky trip 😅

Dear, Lexie and Lucia!

I am so happy I met you, even though just digitally. It was so easy to work with you. Thank you for sharing your photo album with me. It was fun seeing your adventures and humourous comments.
I'm especially pleased, you liked Naxos Island, as I firmly believed this would be the perfect match for your mom-daughter holiday. I wish you many more happy adventures and photographs around the globe. If you ever decide to refresh your memory of the Mediterranean Sea, I would love to design your future family trip to Italy, where I also specialise in.

Best of life!
Ina
