Not worth the trouble. We stopped in a beach town for 90 minutes which seemed to be included only so the company could have a tour with more than the temple. There was almost no information about Poseidon's Temple. And to cap it off there was basically no sunset. I would forget the sunset and go to the temple with a real guide during the day.

We recently returned from an amazing trip to Greece planned through Kimkim, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

First, the app was fantastic. I'll admit, I was hesitant about downloading "yet another app," but it ended up being one of the most valuable parts of the trip. Everything was incredibly well organized and easy to navigate. Having the itinerary broken down day by day took all the stress out of travel. There was no constant checking, verifying, or figuring out logistics. Each evening, I could simply open the app and immediately see what the next day held—activities, times, transportation details, and recommendations. It made traveling feel effortless.

The hotels selected for us were excellent throughout the trip. Our favorite hotel was in Naxos, which offered a wonderful combination of comfort, location, and hospitality. As for the islands themselves, Milos was our favorite destination. Its stunning scenery, unique beaches, and laid-back atmosphere made it unforgettable.

One thing that really stood out was how often fellow travelers asked about our itinerary and how organized everything seemed. I ended up telling several people about Kimkim and even showed them the app. Every one of them said they would definitely check it out for future travel planning.

Overall, Kimkim made our Greece trip smooth, stress-free, and memorable. I would absolutely use them again and 100% recommend them to anyone planning a trip.

Hotel Reviews
NLH Monastiraki
Athens

Nice hotel. Excellent location for "seeing the sights", but because of that, it's in a crowded, bustling area. Our room was also right next to the elevator, which didn't help with noise. Spacious room, comfy bed, a nice little balcony - overall, a good experience. The breakfast buffet was extensive and fresh each day. And they staff were all helpful and pleasant. Noise is the reason for the 4 and not a 5.

Authenticity & Character
Very comfortable. More modern than "authentic" in design.
Location
Only a few blocks to the "main attractions" of Athens and very walkable to many neighborhoods and ruins.
Staff
helpful, friendly, nice to chat with.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Very clean, just a little "worn around the edges", ie - frayed towels and curtains.
Hotel Grotta
Naxos

FANTASTIC from the moment we stepped in the door. Super friendly, like visiting friends. The entire staff went out of the their way to provide excellent service and whatever level of interaction you preferred was matched. The breakfast is SO much food - all prepared fresh each day. Baked goods, sweets, savory, cereals...literally SO much to choose from. The porch on our room overlooked the natural field next door and the sea below - stunning, peaceful, safe - perfect. The hot tub and heated pool that we could reserve for private use was fantastic after our long days of sight-seeing, walking, hiking and exploring.

Authenticity & Character
The architecture is perfect, what you think of when you think "Greek island". The interior spaces are gorgeous - everything is so well-thought out and in theme. They did an amazing job with the decor.
Location
Gorgeous views very close walk to town and so quiet.
Staff
Every single person we interacted with was friendly, happy, helpful and kind.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Clean doesn't even begin to tell the story - immaculate is a better description. Every surface is washed every day. Literally. Floors, porches, chairs, tables, windows - this hotel is amazing.
Apollon Boutique Hotel
Paroikia

The hotel is very nice. The lobby is a bit tired, but I think having everything white makes keeping it looking 100% nearly impossible. While the staff were all nice, the vibe was kind of "trying to be more cosmopolitan that we really are". While there were common areas for guests the gather, there were signs like "no eating or drinking here", which kind of makes you not want to hang out and talk to people!

Authenticity & Character
The hotel has kind of a "stuffy" or unwelcoming vibe. The lobby area is pretty, but a little tired. The breakfast area and seating is also very nice, but the overall feeling is "don't hang out here".
Location
The location is good, a little noisy as it's on a busy side road - we had a balcony on the street side, and I'm betting that the Garden side is much quieter. The garden is lovely - quiet, peaceful, clean, with tables and seating. There are nice beaches and many restaurants all very close by, as well as grocery stores, and it's a 10 minute walk to the port/ferry/bus area.
Staff
Hard to explain. The staff is nice, but not engaging. They answer questions but don't offer up anything additional.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The cleaning crew is present all the time, and they keep the place top notch.

We had a wonderful experience on the Mythology Sunset Walk and Wines of Naxos tour. Our guide was outstanding—right on time, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and excellent at keeping the group engaged and in good spirits throughout the afternoon. He balanced storytelling, local history, and mythology perfectly while making sure everyone stayed together and the tour moved along smoothly and on schedule. The sunset views were beautiful, the wine tasting was enjoyable, and the entire experience felt well-organized and relaxed. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn more about Naxos while enjoying a memorable evening.

Naxos

We enjoyed our Private Hike to the Mountain of Zeus and found our guide to be friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. He shared interesting information about the history, landscape, and local culture throughout the hike. The only reason for 4 rather than 5 stars is that the pace was slower than we would have preferred. There were quite a few stops along the way and more time spent resting at the summit than we needed. Since we're from Colorado, the elevation wasn't a factor for us and we're both experienced, fit hikers who would have enjoyed moving at a faster pace. That said, the scenery was beautiful, the guide was excellent, and it was a memorable way to experience Naxos.

Guided E-Bike Excursion Around Paros
Guided E-Bike Excursion Around Paros
Paros

We were disappointed with the Paros E-Bike Tour because it did not match the experience that was advertised. The tour was supposed to last approximately four hours, but our experience was under two hours. We also did not visit any of the sites listed in the tour description, which was a major reason we booked it in the first place. The description mentioned local food, but the only snack provided was a packaged power bar. We were also expecting water bottles, which were not provided, although the guide did offer us lemonade during one of our stops. We rode to Monastiri Beach and were directed toward the hike to the lighthouse, but were only given 30 minutes to complete it, which simply wasn't enough time to fully enjoy the walk and the views before needing to return. Our guide was very pleasant and friendly, but she seemed somewhat distracted throughout the tour. She took several phone calls and frequently discussed a cooking class she was hosting later that evening, emphasizing how important it was because it involved 15 guests and significant revenue. Unfortunately, this left us feeling as though our tour was not her primary focus. Overall, the e-bikes were fun and Paros is beautiful, but the experience fell well short of the advertised itinerary, duration, and inclusions.

This was a lot of fun - we took the Ferry directly from Parikia to Antiparos and then the ferry to Nousa and the bus back to Parikia. Somehow we decided to follow a couple that looked like they knew where they were going on Antiparos, and we ended up on the only nude beach on the island! It happened to be right next to the Camping Antiparos, where they kindly lent us a sun umbrella and directed us to a lovely, completely empty beach right off a post card.

Milos

The E-Bike Exploration of Milos Highlights and Beaches was one of our favorite activities in Greece. Our guide had a very relaxed, easygoing style that made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. He was knowledgeable about the island and shared plenty of information at each stop, but never overdid it or turned the experience into a lecture. What we especially appreciated was that he quickly recognized that our group of four were experienced cyclists. Rather than making us ride at a very slow pace, he allowed us to have some fun on the bikes while still keeping the group safe and together. It struck the perfect balance between sightseeing and actually enjoying the ride. We never felt rushed and were given plenty of time at each stop to take photos, explore, and enjoy the scenery. As an added bonus, he shared a local treat with us, which was a thoughtful touch and added to the authentic feel of the experience. If you're looking for a fun, active way to see Milos with a knowledgeable and adaptable guide, this tour is highly recommended.

Greece

We visited historical sites in Marsala followed by Mothia, remains of a fascinating Phoenician settlement. Our guide managed to fit in a good deal! Afterwards we toured the salt pans and saw how sea salt was harvested, saw the old wind-powered grinding stone, and had a salt tasting. A great day.

Dear Lori,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback and notes regarding the tours and quality of the overall experience. I appreciate it.

I'm very happy everything was smooth and that we were there for you along the way, to help with any issues.

On the other hand, I am also disappointed that the tour in Santa Margherita was not up to your expectations, even though we did our best to accommodate. In my defense, I have to convey that Maria and I were assured that the tour would be as rich as possible to the extent you were looking for, regarding the history & culture of this town. It looks like it was not that way, and we only found out now, with your polite and kind feedback. I will surely look into this more closely with our local partner in Italy and make sure that we improve the future quality and context of similar requests.

I thank you again that you shared all this, and I hope to be able to make it up for you in the future, with another trip to Greece/Italy!

Kind regards,
Chris

The most amazing and memorable trip!

Our local specialist, Angela, was incredible! We truly had the most memorable and perfect trip to explore Greece. We loved all the boutique hotels and their locations were exactly what we wanted; secluded and quaint, but also close enough to the restaurants, shops, and "tourist spots" that we wanted or needed to see. She handled all the private transfers to and from where we were going which was a great touch. We didn't need to worry about anything and could simply enjoy the beautiful country.

Regarding the itinerary, we had something planned every day of the trip but it never felt like too much. Most activities started in the morning and were finished by the early afternoon so we still had half of the day to walk around or relax. The exception being one longer excursion where we made the drive from Athens up to Mount Parnassus (Arachova/Delphi), which turned out to be one of the best days of our trip. Because of the longer trip, we spent most of the day with travel and sight seeing but our guide, Adam, was funny, very personable, and extremely knowledgeable. He really went above and beyond that day and even extended the trip by an hour to show us one additional spot! On Mykonos, we took a tour of the whole island with our guide, Eddy, and he also went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Because of the time of year (less crowded than peak tourist season), he even took us to a few added spots for great pictures and bought us both a Freddo Espresso and some baklava. Lastly, on Santorini we took a kayak tour and got to see parts of the island that weren't accessible by road. Our guide, Kalliopi, was SO great. She was funny, nice, and so personable. We absolutely loved kayaking through the caves, seeing the black, white, and red beaches, and the homecooked picnic lunch. She even took pictures for us while we were out on the water!

Truly the best vacation that will be hard to ever beat!

Hotel Reviews
Ava Hotel & Suites
Athens

Loved this boutique hotel. Located right in Plaka so you are very close to the heart of Athens, but its located on a quiet street that was perfect. Our hotel room had a balcony where we could see both Hadrian's Gate and the Acropolis. They had a bottle of champagne upon arrival, which was a great touch. The room was great with lots of amenities and a mini bar with snacks and drinks available to purchase. Our flight arrived early and the room was not yet available but they let us drop off our bags so we could explore Athens and the bags were already in our room when we arrived in the afternoon to check in. A breakfast buffet was served downstairs every morning and the food was great with a very wide selection (pastries, hot breakfast, coffee, juice, granola bars, etc.). The perfect place to start our Greece vacation.

Truly serene boutique hotel. It was in such a quiet area with a beach directly across the street. The pool was SO nice and and the sunsets were beautiful to see from our room. We loved the location because where we were located, it was still so close to Mykonos Town and the hotel provided a free shuttle until 9:00PM (21:00). The staff here was the best of our entire Greece trip in terms of recommendations, accommodations, and helping with just about anything we needed.

Santorini

Imerovigli was incredible as a location to stay in Santorini. Located at (or close) the highest point on the island, the views were unmatched as some of the best on the entire island. This side of the island faces west which allows for incredible sunset views. Our room had a private hot tub and balcony and we were able to watch the some of the most beautiful sunset views in the world from the comfort of our room. The location was quiet and relaxing but was very close to many restaurants and tavernas and was not a bad walk down to Fira if we wanted the more bustling and lively vibes. The hotel served breakfast each morning at a designated time (you could change it each day if needed) which we ate on our balcony with a stunning view. The staff also gave us a "breakfast bag" on our last night as we had an early flight out in the morning and were leaving before their first allotted time. The staff and service were great; it was unseasonably chilly during our time in Santorini (mostly felt in the mornings and evenings), and we asked them to turn up the temperature on the hot tub which they did the next time we were out of our rooms.

Athens Highlights Mythology Tour
Athens Highlights Mythology Tour
Greece

Really enjoyed the mythology tour! Our guide, Alex, was incredibly smart and knowledgeable and did a fantastic job discussing both the history of each temple/structure as well as explaining the mythological stories and relevance. I have more background knowledge of Greek mythology than my wife but neither of us felt out of place during the tour. Alex really did a great job tying in both ancient Greek life into context today and it was very cool to hear just how many common English words stem directly from Greek and particularly Greek Mythology. May 2026 was one of the first months with the exterior scaffolding removed from the Parthenon which was awesome!

Athens

Initially we were a bit apprehensive due to this excursion including a long drive up into the mountains, but we were so thankful that Angela reassured us that the roads would not be too treacherous because this day turned out to be one of our favorites of the whole Greece trip! Our guide, Adam, picked up us early at our hotel and we ventured out of Athens into the countryside. The views were beautiful and he quickly started to talk about Greece's landscape and everything going on in the country (like the past wildfires that have hit Greece as we passed some areas with the remains of the flora). We stopped not too long into our drive in Thebes (Thiva) at a coffee shop where we all got some espressos which was a nice touch. We then continued onto our drive up towards Mount Parnassus and Adam was terrific in terms of the conversation; the two and a half hour drive really went by rather quickly. We arrived in Delphi and Adam walked us all the way to ticket booth at the Archeological Ruins, we connected via WhatsApp with him and he reassured us to take as much time as we wanted seeing both the site and the museum afterwards and to just message him once we arrived in the museum so he would bring the car back. The ruins were awesome to see, and despite not having a guided tour group, Adam had already went into a lot of the detail about the ruins, about what to look for, so we still got a great sense of what we were looking at (even down to the Roman vs Greek architecture). We walked all the way to the top and saw the stadium before venturing back down and went into the museum, which was also amazing to see it have so many old artifacts. Adam picked us up immediately outside the exit of the museum and then even had us stopped at a couple places before we left for us to stop and take our pictures. We then all drove to Arachova for lunch which was such a quaint, beautiful place up in the mountains. We laughed because he took us to the restaurant and ensured we had THE best table on their outdoor patio that could see the all the way down the mountain to the bay before he left to head back to the car. After eating, we reconvened and then had a very short drive to get some fantastic pictures of Arachova. Afterwards, Adam said that although we had an itinerary for the remainder of the day, but we could do or go anywhere we wanted for the rest of the day. From our conversations in the car, he learned that my wife had studied geology back in university so he gave a idea to instead drive back towards Athens the highway route and go see an ancient Greek quarry like that one mined to build the Acropolis. It was actually another part of a separate tour that he also did. We loved the idea so we agreed, and we drove back (including the off-roading portion) and arrived at one of the ancient quarries that was incredible to see with such a beautiful view of Athens as the sun began to set. He again went into such detail about the quarry and showed us an old monastery that was built into the side of it where we went in and took pictures. The trip actually went over the allotted time (he asked or mentioned it multiple times to ensure we would be alright with this!) before taking us back to the hotel. It can't be overstated how much Adam went above and beyond that day for us and as I had said, it was truly one of the most fun days of the whole trip for us.

Mykonos Island Tour - Like a Local!

Mykonos

Although Mykonos is a smaller island, the tour was so fun! Our guide, Eddy, was so friendly and personable. He grew up on Mykonos and his knowledge was very apparent, he knew everything about the island like the history, culture, all the best spots! It really felt like we were spending several hours with an old friend. We drove past Mykonos town and stopped for some great pictures, and then drove to the lighthouse which was absolutely stunning. As we drove through the countryside of the island, he talked about the history, what to look for, how the stone barriers were actually the old property lines, the churches. It was so interesting and the views were so beautiful to see. Eddy also stopped in the middle to get everyone a Freddo Espresso and baklava from a cafe. The cafe was actually out of the baklava, so he made it a point to stop towards the end of the tour at another cafe to make sure we got to try it. We ended by driving to see the monastery and then all the various beaches and got out at many for great pictures. He really balanced the tour really well with ensuring we could capture the views with picture locations and also seeing and learning the cool spots on the island. Overall, it was such a fun day and the tour ended in the early afternoon, we still had so much of the day left for ourselves!

Mykonos

The catamaran cruise was a great change of pace from the other excursions! We got on the cruise early and set sail once the group was all on board, we were all served drinks (water, soda, wine, or beer) and then made our way to Delos. As we got close, the crew explained some of the ancient mythology and significance of Delos being the birthplace of Apollo and we slowly cruised by the island where we could see the ruins and take pictures. We continued our trip to a bay in Rhenia where the crew dropped anchor and we could swim and relax for an hour or two. The water was a bit cold so we didn't swim but still could relax and drink on the boat. We met a lot of funny and interesting guests which really made this excursion so much fun. They served us pasta for lunch which was really well prepared considering they made it on the ship. After a day of drinking on the catamaran, we felt like we were friends with all the guests by the end of the cruise. Such a fun day and the dock was directly next to our hotel so is was extremely easy to return back home after docking!

Panoramic Tour 2026
Panoramic Tour 2026
Santorini

The panoramic tour is a must in Santorini! The island is much too large to be able to see all the sights and this was the perfect way for us to see and explore Oia (due to us staying in Imerovigli) as well as the wineries and some of the beaches on the other side of the island from where we stayed. We were picked up from our hotel and drove straight to Oia as the early morning pickup helped us to beat some of the big crowds there. We were dropped off by our driver and our guide, Alyssa, walked us through Oia to see many of the iconic sights and views of that area. We walked all the way to the end and got some great photos. The timing was fantastic because as we walked back to where we began, the crowds and tourists were already picking up and it was starting to get quite busy. We then drove over to the winery where we learned about the volcanic soil and how it affects the famous wines from Santorini, which was super interesting to learn about and how it contrasts to the Napa Valley wineries back in the US. We got to taste three wines afterwards and they also served us water and various nuts/cheeses that paired with each. It was such a quaint and relaxing stop! We next traveled up to the monastery which was very cool to see; we even saw a monk out working in the garden! Our last stop, we drove down to one of the black beaches to each lunch. The restaurant (named 41) was such a cool stop. It was located right on the water and the food was incredible. We wouldn't have been able to experience this side of the island had we not done the tour! My only criticism from this day (and its hardly one) was that because the tour group's office was on the return trip to Imerovigli, they dropped off Alyssa before us so that the driver could continue afterwards to his next transfer. The dispatch had called shortly before they dropped her off so there wasn't really any notice for anyone and I would have liked to be able to give her a tip in person. I talked to the driver and explained that I wanted to give them both a tip but missed the opportunity to give one to Alyssa and he said they all have a great relationship and would give it onto her. The problem was she was actually the one that spent the majority of the tour with us and I did want to give her a larger one than him (even though I really liked our driver as well), but felt guilty so I tipped them both the same. Again, it was really not a big deal and the drop off came suddenly from Santorini's Luxury Travel, but I did feel bad for Alyssa.

The kayak tour was such a great day! Kalliopi was truly one of the nicest, most genuine people we met while in Greece. She was so personable, funny, and inclusive during the trip. We were picked up right next to our hotel and drove to a more remote part of Santorini. We arrived and waited for the other transfer with guests and everyone was so friendly. Kalliopi offered everyone coffee while we waited and then started to give everyone their gear. We were given hats, life vests, and really everything we needed. Kalliopi even included a water-proof phone case for everyone so they could take pictures while out on the water. We all departed in the kayaks and saw the Red Beach, White Beach, and then Black Beach and got to see the two caves which were so cool! The water was really calm so our guide was able to show us all of her spots. We then started to head back but stopped on the Black Beach to eat lunch. It was perfect! Kalliopi and her assistant set up towels for a little picnic and the food (which i think may have been home-cooked!) was really good! We had time to relax and swim/snorkel before finally heading back to the start. The views were so cool to see since they were only accessible by boat! We got so lucky that our group was all incredibly nice and we got to know most of the group by the end of it. When we arrived back at the house, we were offered a glass of wine or beer so everyone got to talk and relax afterwards. Kalliopi really goes above and beyond to ensure everyone has a great day. I wish more human beings were as genuine as her!
