My wife and I have visited Greece many times, and this time we wanted to return to the Pelopponese, near to where we stayed on our first visit. We wanted to be near to Nafplion, and seeing the location of these apartments, and reading the excellent reviews by previous cusomers, we thought this would be just right.
We wanted a relaxing holiday, but we did have a car for the two weeks, so were able to visit some of the ancient sites, and towns such as Nafplion, Nemea, Palio Astros and Argos.
We had the studio apartment, and without doubt it was by far the best accommodation we have had anywhere in Greece. It was clean, well decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. The cooking facilities were good, and we actually cooked dinner on several evenings...something we have never done before.
The balcony, and its panoramic view of the Nafplion Gulf kept us mesmerised for many hours, watching the small fishing boats ply their way back and forth as they have for thousands of years, all with the back-drop of the mountains surrounding the gulf, constantly changing as the sun moved around.
The tavernas nearby are very good, and the staff very friendly. We particularly liked the nearest one, "the Canaries", a mere 50 metre walk from the apartment. There you can have a look at the fish in the fridge to make your selection. All of it is fresh and caught locally. Make sure to ask for a portion of "horta" to go with your fish: a sort of steamed green vegetable, delicious with olive oil and lemon juice.
We only met Christos once, but his mum was around all the time, and she is very friendly and helpful. She doesn't speak English, but speaks very good French, as we do, so communication was no problem. Christos told us that the best souvlaki is to be found in Mili, about a kilometre up the road towards Nafplion, and he was right! It was delicious.
If you have a car, take the 20 minute drive down the coast to Palio Astros, a charming little fishing port/resort. The Rembetika fish taverna there is a must...all the fish is caught by the owner, and again you are invited to go and have a look in the fridge to see what you want. Don't expect to know the names of any of the fish though!
There are two small supermarkets in Kiveri, and though the owners don't speak English, they are very friendly. The bakery, opposite the big petrol station, is excellent, and the deli/butcher nearby very good too. There is no bank or ATM in the village: Argos or Nafplion to get cash.
