Rebecca Skevaki

Hi! My name is Rebecca Skevaki a Greek/Australian, travel and food and wine passionate. I got the travel bug at my first taste of traveling at just the age of 4 when my family sailed from Greece on a 42-day voyage to Australia. From then I have visited 46 countries and more than 240 cities. For me, "To travel is to live,” as said by Hans Christian Andersen.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"We specialize in the most beautiful country, Greece! Every traveler wants not only to learn about the culture and history but also to experience the delights of the local food, comfortable transportations, and other amenities to ensure a completely stress-free holiday and that's what we guarantee!
We love suggesting to all our travelers' unique experiences, going off the beaten path and interacting with locals through tours and activities where they use all of their senses. It doesn't mean forsaking seeing the highlights of the destination but doing it in a more "authentic" and responsible way."

How did you get involved in travel?

"My passion became my profession and after working for years in the public relations field and marketing, I founded Go Local Tours a company that ran tours in Australia before moving permanently to Greece my "Homeland" and creating GrecianLux, a company that helps travelers experience Greece like never before. For me, traveling isn't only admiring the views. To comprehend a destination, travelers have to forge deeper connections with the people, traditions, and customs of the place they visit and seek travel experiences that resonate on a deep emotional level."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of my unforgettable experiences was while on a customized trip for an extended family where the father was visually impaired. I will never forget the tears in his eyes when he managed to understand how life used to be in Ancient Greece by incorporating a range of activities that stimulated each of the senses. "

From the beginning of the whole booking process, Rebecca’s has been amazing ! She was very thorough throughout the planning process. Our tour guides George and Theo were absolutely incredible! We had so much fun with the two of them and they really showed us all around Athens! The rest of the trip was just as amazing on the other islands and everything was so smooth. From the clean hotels, to the luxury car transfers it couldn’t have been smoother. We are so happy we booked with this agency and HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to book! Thanks for a dream vacation!

We had a truly amazing trip to Greece thanks to Rebecca and her team members with KimKim! Our arriving flight was delayed multiple times and she was always responsive and our pickup was there on-time at 1:30 a.m. The next morning we were met by a friendly GrecianLux concierge, taken for coffee at an adorable place for a brief orientation. We felt very warmly welcomed. Our archaeologist guide in Athens, Nikolaos, was exceptionally knowledgable, making our private tour of the Acropolis an early highlight. We spent several days touring the northwest mainland with our scholar guide, Babis, who was definitely both of these and much more. He gave us many fantastic guided tours, including a very memorable tour of the Meteora monasteries. He also pointed out special points of interest for us all along the way -- all the time skillfully navigating the national highway system! Every hotel was excellent and perfectly suited to what we requested. Our time staying at Apeiros Chora in Zagori is especially noteworthy for the rich heritage and charming proprietors. We had a lot of travel experience before this trip and hesitated to hire help; in the end we're so glad we did and just thrilled that we let KimKim do so much of the planning. The trip was an absolute dream.

Here are some of the things that we loved most about Apeiros Chora: - The heritage of the 19th century Zagori mansion, beautifully restored to retain its original charm. - The proprietors, warm and welcoming hosts who are passionate about sharing their love of the Zagori region. - The location, in the heart of the Zagorochoria known for its small stone villages and alpine beauty. - The amenities, including comfortable rooms, a delicious breakfast, and many others that we didn't have the time to try (like the sauna and spa).

It was wonderful to not have to drive or worry about transportation and each of our guides was knowledgeable about their areas and took us to places we would have never found on our own. Highlights for us were Crete and Meteora. Had some marvelous food and wine all over Greece. Babbis(mainland) Lazurus (Santorini), and Yiannis (Crete) were all just fantastic guides and hosts. We loved everything we saw, but do wish we had a little more downtime at the end of our trip. That was our fault, not the guides. Our first hotel in Athens, The Foundry and Hotel Azade were especially standouts with amazing views and comfortable spaces.

Domotel Anemolia Mountain Resort
Arachova

Hotel was off the beaten track and quite a walk to the town for meals etc, especially when it was dark as there was no sidewalk and the road was pretty windy. Not a good combo for pedestrians. We were lucky to have a guide willing to come get us. Since it was off-season, there was no transportation, no restaurant service, and no laundry services provided. It would have been good to know these things prior to checking in. The room was adorable and the fireplace was fun to have.

Authenticity & Character
Precious chalet room with a fireplace, peaked ceiling, and mountain views.
Location
The road to town is a bit dicey without transportation. It is not that far, but they need to offer transport to town.
Staff
They were accommodating when they could be. It snowed in the mountains the weekend we were there, so it would have been nice for more services to be offered as they did have quite a few guests.

Our Grecian vacation exceeded every expectation! Rebecca's attention to detail, respect for our individual needs, and depth of planning, allowed us to travel with confidence and peace of mind. The hotel accommodations were not only conveniently located to our specific city itineraries, but also more luxurious than we would have chosen for ourselves. Having a breakfast available each day was a delight and the food choices at each hotel were culinary experiences of their own. We found the hotel staff members to be friendly and engaging and one employee in particular guided us to an unplanned excursion that was most enjoyable.
Another extraordinary benefit was the opportunity to explore each city, including Thessaloniki, Athens, and Santorini, with guides who ranged from an art historian, archeologist, and outdoor adventurer! Seeing the ancient historical sites from their perspective and depth of knowledge was informative, entertaining, and broadened our intellects. Each one warmly greeted us and by day's end, felt we had made a new friend.
We have found KimKim to be our "go to" travel agency and highly recommend them because they listen and respond with respect and flexibility to ensure we have a personal and memorable experience.

First of all I need to start by saying this whole trip exceeded our expectations. Rebecca was always there to help with questions or concerns and always came through with a solution. There were absolutely no hiccups in this trip plan on Rebecca’s side.
We had some unexpected weather and some of the plans had to be tweaked .
From the first Pickup when we landed to the hotel transfers to the tour transfers, they all were timely and efficient it was pretty amazing.
There was even a welcoming lady Katerina who brought us a special gift and took us to answer any questions we might have.
All the tour specialists were amazing!!
Theodore in Athens was so kind and welcoming, happy and knowledgeable, we had good food drinks and fun. Off to Crete.
George at Knossos was very good at explaining all the information at the archeological site on a level we could understand . Our driver for the day Yiannis was more than just a driver we stopped for coffee and snacks there was never any pressure. He explained a lot about the Island while he drove.
Wine tasting with Eva was so fun. This girl was a breath of fresh air!! We really connected with her and had a blast.
Yiannis took us on a road trip to the mountains and to a little village to taste some amazing food from the region. We really appreciated how slow he drove and would stop to show us things it was very relaxing. Again very kind and down to earth young man.
Antonis had to tweak our original tour due to weather and we just loved how flexible he was ! We LOVED the walk in old town and everywhere he took us, the food and drinks, the conversations. He was just a gem! The whole experience was so relaxing. He was a super nice young man with a great smile! He also acted like a photographer, he got some amazing shots of us. Great day!
In Santorini Lazarus had to also tweak our original tour but it was very nice. He took us to Oia and told us all about the island and took the most amazing photos of us at all the great spots. We would have never on our own taken these photos. When he took us for our lunch he ordered ahead then explained all the wonderful food we were going to enjoy, and I loved how he gave us some time alone to rest and enjoy our food. When on our wine tasting with a magnificent view he again stayed close by but let us enjoy some alone time. Again a very kind and super knowledgeable young man, enjoyed his company.
On Mykonos we got a little walking tour of little Venice and the town with Christos, it was very relaxing kick back tour.
Back in Athens we got to tour the Acropolis with an actual Archeologist Nicholas who worked the site for 3 years. He was SO knowledgeable. We loved how he took care not to run us ragged lol !! There was a lot of climbing, we took It slow and easy it was really appreciated. He went even further and took us to the tomb of the unknown soldier and the Plaka, even suggested a great place to have dinner.
All in all every single one of the tour guides gave us their numbers and offered any help in the future if we needed.
For us, each of the places we visited had great things. Crete with the millions of Olive trees and mountains and the beauty of the old port town .
Santorini the breathtaking views of the Caldera were unlike anything. The only drawback there were the steps up and down everywhere could be bad for some people.
Mykonos tho was our favorite. We loved not being so high up and with close walking distance to the sea and the town.
The hotels that were chosen were so nice and located perfectly!
I would say do not hesitate to book a trip through Rebecca at Grecian Lux you will not regret it!!

Olia Hotel
Mykonos

These bungalows just across the street from the new port in Mykonos offer a lovely view, nice pool, and friendly, helpful staff. Their morning buffets are excellent. It’s a climb (lots of stairs) to some of the rooms. Access to the port for ferries into town or for Fast Ferries to other islands is wonderful; however, it is hard to get anywhere otherwise. During the busy season, no taxis can be found, buses are packed, and walking alongside the highway is (very) sketchy. If you don’t have a car (God help you for driving in Mykonos), getting to the famous beaches is nearly impossible.

Mykonos-Day Trip to Delos island & Mykonos Free Afternoon
Mykonos

This was a great adventure and gave us a true feel for Mykonos and Greece in general. We boarded the beautiful Sunfos sailing vessel, kicked off our shoes, and enjoyed an incredible sail to the island of Rhenia, where we snorkeled, swam and feasted. The on-board lunch was exceptional, staff attentive, and ship just stunning. We then sailed to Delos, where we embarked on an archeological tour of the island. Just breathtaking! Loved, loved this tour—a day well spent.

We had the most amazing trip in Greece! Rebecca Skevakis was our travel specialist and she could not have set up a more seamless or thoughtful trip for us. We are a family of four, two teenage kids (daughter 16 and son 14) from Boulder, Colorado. We have traveled a lot and typically arrange our own itinerary. For Greece, since we only had ten days and I wanted to make the most of our time there, I used KimKim and Rebecca to assist with all the details. As the title of the review said....perfection start to finish.

We spent two nights in Athens to start the trip. We had a free day to get acclimated to the time change and explore a bit on our own. The hotel, Coco Mat Athens, was fantastically located near the Acropolis with views. Walkable to everything we wanted to see. We had a tour of the Acropolis with our tour guide, Angela, who was so knowledgeable and took us to some areas of the Plaka that we would never have seen. We then transferred by plane to Chania, Crete. Another fantastic hotel, Chania Flair Boutique. Again, perfect location with beach access in the City. We went to Balos Beach, did an olive oil farm and press and cooking class. Had dinner at the most beautiful farm to table restaurant, and had time to explore the harbor district and spend some good quality time just relaxing at the beach. After three days on Chania, we went to Santorini and stayed just outside of Fira. We had the most unbelievable view of the caldera and the quintessential view of the white cliffside accomodations in Santorini. We were able to go cliff jumping in Atouni Bay, spent at day at a beach club at Theros Beach and did a sunset catamaran cruise of the island. All beyond perfect. We did one final transfer back to Athens but instead of it being a night of just wandering, we scheduled a food and wine tour of the Psyri neighborhood, and our guide, Theo, took us to places we would never have found on our own. Theo was fantastic and given that we had a 100 degree day, tailored our time to accommodate the oppressive heat.

Overall, I can't rave enough about Rebecca, GrecianLux, KimKim. Her attention to detail, from really listening to what my family wanted out of the trip, to the accommodations that she arranged, to the tours, to the transfers each step of the trip....every detail went off without a hitch. For example, we had one day when we were to take a boat tour to a beach but the wind was up and the harbor shut down, so she arranged for alternate transportation (her husband, Michael drove us! Michael was also amazing and so knowledgeable!) We could still go to the beach and then added on a dinner at the best restaurant. She also arranged for transportation and a reservation at a beach club in Santorini on a day when my kids rejected a six mile hike (walking uphill, even with views, was not appealing to teenagers !). The app that we used was also incredibly user friendly. It had all of our trip information organized by day and also important documents. We had the opportunity to meet Rebecca and she and her family were just so warm and welcoming in person.

If you are planning a trip to Greece, I am happy to provide the highest recommendation for Rebecca and KimKim. Perfect trip with memories that will last a lifetime.

We cooked stuffed tomatoes and peppers and stuffed grape leaves.

We didn't actually get to take a boat to Balos Beach because the ocean was too high and the Harbor Master closed the marina. However, our travel specialist Rebecca arranged for a driver to take us to and from the same beach which was so thoughtful. The wind was high that day but that kept the crowds down and we were able to be comfortable behind some of the big rocks on the beach. We then were able to go for dinner at a local farm to table restaurant near Balos. Again, Rebecca took care of the cost of the meal because we had paid for dinner on the boat trip that got cancelled. Really, she went over and above and we had the best alternate experience!

We went to Super Paradise Beach to Jackie O's because we heard so many great things, and yes it's beautiful, but the prices were simply outrageous. We went to Elia beach the following day and THAT was definitely worth the lowered prices. The beach is more expansive, and the options plentiful. And it's less expensive by far than Jackie O

Santorini - The Island

It's more stunning than you can imagine.

Santorini - Free Morning & Santorini Catamaran Gold Sunset Cruise (Small group cruise)
Santorini

The staff were incredible, and this was the ONLY boat experience we had where they did a little history along the way. They also had a contest while we were aboard to win a bottle of wine for best photo on IG...and we won! The staff cooked some of the most incredible food on a BBQ on the back of the catamaran. It made other trips pale in comparison.

Santorini - Sights, Wines & Clicks Private day tour
Santorini

The highlight of our tour. It was a private tour for my traveling partner and myself. Lazarus picked us up and took us to all the best places on the island, and some hidden gems as well. He's very knowledgable, knows so many people on the island, and he used our phones to take our photos and when I say that they look magasine worthy, I'm not kidding. Simply magnificent. The winery sampling was an amazing experience, and then taking us to the highest point on the island was worth the view!

My wife and I are SO happy that we used Kimkim to help plan a 2 week honeymoon to Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete, because the trip was absolutely incredible! From the start, Rebecca communicated frequently with us to personalize the trip to our desires. After some back and forth we came up with an itinerary that we were really excited about - and the experiences were even better than we could have imagined! We absolutely loved the personal touches Rebecca included on the trip - from having locals meet us at each location (thank you Theo, Stelios, Kostis, Manos, and Antonis!), to giving us her number on WhatsApp to call with any questions, to modifying our itinerary in real time, and even personally calling the port when our ferry was delayed. Rebecca goes all out to ensure that you have a trip of a lifetime. All of our inter-island transportation was taken care of (HUGE stress relief), and the transports from the ports/airport to our hotels were incredibly comfortable and had courteous and friendly drivers at each stop. We can't say enough about how much we loved the Kimkim experience and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone thinking of planning a trip to Greece. Rebecca and her local guides truly made our honeymoon an unforgettable experience!

Mykonos - Walking Tour with Delicious Goody Bag
Mykonos

We met Stelios for our walking tour of Mykonos town. Not only were we completely mesmerized by the town, but Stelios entertained us for the entire 90 minutes. We loved hearing everything he had to say about the town, food, shops, Greek culture, and he was even more interested in getting to know us and our interests. It felt like we were walking the town with an old friend. Stelios also gave us some great recommendations for food and drink for our remaining two days on the island. It was a phenomenal, personalized experience on our first night in Mykonos!

Theo met us at our hotel and immediately took us out for coffee and breakfast. He told us all about Athens, reviewed our trip with us, gave us some recommendations, and walked us to Monastiraki square for some shopping. It was a great way to start our trip!

This was such an interesting tour! We loved spending time with our guide Manos, who was incredibly friendly and courteous. He made sure to show us some of the local spots, which was a fun change of pace from the more-touristy Venetian harbor. Of course, he found a great spot for coffee with a view and our lunch was delicious!
