Thanos Nikopoulos

The hotel staff were extremely helpful at all 3 of our stops in Greece

I can't speak highly enough of Thanos. He had organised for us an excellent journey which he ensured worked smoothly throughout the whole time, from beginning of our planning to the very end. Thanos was most personable and caring and it was a delight meeting him in person.

All the guides were superb, especially Alex, who guided us through the Acropolis.

We appreciated the great hotels chosen for us.

Thank you Thanos and Kimkim

Hiking were well planed with experienced guides in Samaria gorge hike and in Santorini hikes.

The trip guides were detailed including contacts numbers. Everyday were well planned. Pick up drivers were punctual. Thanos monitored my trip and arranged ferry tickets and flights check in tickets.

I have a safe and wonderful time. It is prefect & seamless planned trip suited my requirements. Thanos is a responsible person, experienced organizer with eye of details (and well thoughts) at every steps of the trip .

I trust him.

My friend and I had a wonderful trip to Greece in May 2023. Our trip was planned by Thanos, our local Greek travel specialist using KimKim and was very specific to what we were interested in. We had a private tour of Athens and the Acropolis. Our tour guide, Alexandria, was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very accommodating.

My friend and I had a wonderful trip to Greece in May 2023. Our trip was planned by Thanos, our local Greek travel specialist using KimKim and was very specific to what we were interested in. We had a private tour of Athens and the Acropolis. Our tour guide, Alexandria, was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and very accommodating. She took us on a culinary tour of Athens, one of the highlights of our trip, as we got to eat baklava in a local Greek Taverna, watch cheese and other pies being made--then sample them fresh and hot--eating the best Giro sandwiches in Athens and sample fresh olives, nuts and other products at the fresh market. We enjoyed driving to Mystras to see the UNESCO site (fabulous ruins) and visiting ancient Corinth where the apostle Paul preached. Other highlights of our trip were our visit to Chania on the island of Crete and staying on Santorini for 3 days. Near Chania we had a Greek cooking class at a farmhouse where we made our own dinner and learned to appreciate the multiple uses of olives and olive oil. We stayed in a cozy boutique hotel in Chania and in a hotel on the cliff in Santorini with an amazing view of the sunsets and cruise ships. We have to give a major shoutout to Thanos, our travel specialist. Before we left he worked closely with us to pick the tours, hotels and activities that were the best for us and within our budget--he gave us great suggestions of things to do that we didn't know about. We actually got to meet him in Athens and he checked on us almost daily. We messaged him when we had questions about the itinerary or needed help and he always responded quickly.
I highly recommend KimKim and their travel specialists. Their platform that produces the itinerary is easy to use and included ideas for restaurants and what to see in each city we visited.

Thanos did a perfect job organizing a trip to Greece for my husband, my in-laws and myself! I wanted a smooth trip and felt too overwhelmed to plan it myself. We went to Athens, Naxos and Santorini. Everything went so smoothly and I'm very grateful! Thanos was easily accessible and just knowing he was there if we needed anything took all the stress out of the trip.

Thanos did a perfect job organizing a trip to Greece for my husband, my in-laws and myself! I wanted a smooth trip and felt too overwhelmed to plan it myself. We went to Athens, Naxos and Santorini. Everything went so smoothly and I'm very grateful! Thanos was easily accessible and just knowing he was there if we needed anything took all the stress out of the trip. He even met us for a drink in Athens, introducing us to a rooftop bar with a fantastic view of the Acropolis. He arranged tours based on our interests with knowledgeable guides which added so much to our enjoyment of Greece. All of the transfer drivers to ferries and airports were on time and professional. What a relief to have everything planned and just show up where you're supposed to be! Everyone we dealt with was kind and efficient. The planning stage was fun and Thanos was quick to respond even given the time difference. This is definitely the way to go for a hassle free trip, and I found the price to be reasonable as Thanos worked to fit our budget. We even met a fellow Kimkim traveler, also thrilled with her experience in Greece. I will definitely use Kimkim again and am already looking forward to planning my next trip! Thank you, Thanos!!

Beautiful setting, excellent (big!) breakfast, great service. Just don't reserve the Canava suite. Too dark and a foul smell. The other rooms look great, and my in laws had a gorgeous Romantic room.

This was an incredibly executed trip by KimKim through Thanos from Athens Insiders Greece. Through the entire planning process and the trip Thanos was very helpful and communicative. Everything he selected for us from the hotels to the Acropolis & Flavours Combo Tour, day trip to Delphi and the classic Santorini tour were perfect. We appreciated the time he took to video call us before the trip to explain the itinerary and answer any of our questions and he met us for coffee in Athens and the conversation was so easy and enjoyable. He was genuinely interested in making sure we had a wonderful experience keeping in touch by WhatsApp, for example in Mykonos he realized the day of the scheduled Delos tour was forecasted to rain and suggested to reschedule to the next day. The day of the tour the weather was perfection and we dubbed it ‘Thanos approved Day’ 😁 We have to specially mention the tour guides Anastasia, Georgiana and Tanya who were so knowledgeable and genuinely happy to share their culture with us. For ease of planning a trip to Greece, we highly recommend KimKim and the team from Athens Insiders they are professional, timely, knowledgeable and so friendly!

Tanya and Stelios were wonderful, very friendly and you can tell they genuinely enjoyed sharing their knowledge.

Ancient Delos Excursion

Mykonos

Unfortunately our guide did not seem to be having the best day, she had some difficulty in articulating her information and indicated as she wasn’t licensed couldn’t walk us up the hill. Based on the tours we previously experienced in Athens and Santorini, the tour guide having pictures in hand to help visualize the ancient times would be an asset. Despite this, we still enjoyed a beautiful sunny day on the island.
