💡 Tips

Enjoy the evening view of the illuminated Nafplio fortress directly from the waterfront promenade.
Use the village as a peaceful base for day trips to Mycenae or Epidaurus.
Park your car at the village entrance, as the narrow streets by the harbor are often crowded in summer.
Visit the pebble beach early in the morning when the waters of the Argolic Gulf are at their calmest.

Kiveri is a pleasant and authentic seaside village located on the western coast of the Argolic Gulf in the Peloponnese region of Greece. Stepped on a gentle hill leading down to the sea, the village enjoys a spectacular panoramic view of the gulf, stretching all the way to the historic city of Nafplio on the opposite shore. Kiveri has successfully managed to escape mass tourism, thereby preserving its traditional Greek character and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle. The coastline features pristine pebble beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Kiveri Beach is the central hub for swimming and sunbathing, well-equipped with umbrellas and surrounded by welcoming waterfront cafes. A short distance away is Ανάβαλος (Anavalos), a unique natural area where powerful underwater freshwater springs meet the sea, creating incredibly refreshing and clean swimming conditions that are highly prized by the locals during the hot summer. The culinary experience in Kiveri is centered around traditional tavernas located right on the water's edge, serving excellent fresh fish, local meats, and classic Greek mezze. The village is easily accessible by car from Argos and serves as a fantastic, peaceful base for exploring the rich ancient history of the Argolis region, including nearby Mycenae.
