Kiveri Apartment
We stayed in this apartment in August 2019. The apartment is small and clean and in the perfect position for all of the tavernas and beaches. The air conditioning in the apartment is perfect and there is lots of storage. No other reviewers mention that you can see the sea from the balcony -just! Natasha lives locally and is always hospitable and helpful. The only bad points of the accommodation were that the mattress was too hard and that the shower flooded when 3-4 people use it in a row.
Eating out; All of the tavernas are great - very hospitable and the Summer taverna serves HUGE portions!! The cafe/beach bar at the very end of the beach offered great value food - burgers, chicken nuggets, coffee etc. There is also a trendy bar on the corner that sells cocktails and has a PlayStation which costs 2 euros for an hour. Our boys only went on it once as they just loved the people watching and relaxing!
Beaches: We walked down to the smaller beach at the end of the pier and the fish taverna on the cliff let’s you use the toilet and offers orders for drinks on the beach. Lunch and dinner there is also lovely. You can also safely jump off the pier into the sea - hours of fun for our boys!! Also all of the sun beds are free on all the beaches we visited in the area.
Shops; Go to the bakery in Kiveri - it’s amazing!! That bakery also drives down to the main beach about noon and sells donuts and baked products. The local supermarkets sell ample food and drinks.
Transport/places to visit; We hired a car as we drove down from Athens. We were very impressed with the quality of the roads throughout our trips in the Poleponesse. Nafplio is absolutely stunning and as a family of 4 we ate for 20 euros on a very nice street ( gyros and Coke’s). Another day we drove to Tyros - amazing high cliff drive - perfectly safe with barriers all the way - the views are stunning! Tyros has the clearest and warmest water! Totally
The trip; I would recommend that you stay in Athens and see the Acropolis/Parthenon before you travel to Kiveri but go later in the day as it gets hot in the summer! Also don’t drive through central Athens like we did!! However - the alternative is a toll road but well worth it. I think it cost us about 8 euros each way so ensure you have change. However it takes about 2.5hours to drive from the airport to Kiveri even when using the toll roads.
