Kivo Art & Gourmet Hotel, our philosophy has been to stay true to the spirit of traditional Greek hospitality, providing high-quality services in a romantic, tranquil and aesthetic setting, an ideal place for couples who wish to organize their weddings and engagements, spend their honeymoon, celebrate their anniversaries or just renew their vows.The natural beauty of Skiathos, one of Greece’s most enchanting destinations, has inspired us to cultivate and highlight the country’s aesthetic and culinary tradition, paying full homage to the senses with an emphasis on art and gastronomy.Our focus is on the Greek traditional cuisine, especially local island recipes, with pure, certified organic ingredients grown either by ourselves or by select producers in the broader area. The combination of colours, scents and tastes will excite your senses and give you a brand new gourmet experience. Those more adventurous and with a penchant for the exotic can further explore the range of spicy delights of the modern Asian cuisine.All the while, art in all its forms plays a dominant role throughout KIVO, drawing on the work of young and accomplished Greek artists. Naturally, our aesthetic sensitivities also show in our concern to preserve the local environment and in our eco-friendly practices.
Upon a small hill with a panoramic view of the Aegean sea, a hotel in Skiathos with an exceptional personality is waiting for you combining the comfort of a grand resort with the personal services of a boutique hotel. A series of all-white cottages with red-tiled roofs lies in the 15 acres of a green garden just a few minutes from our private beach dusted with white sand and lapped by turquoise sea.
