Riva Beach Club & Bar

As our days are counting down, I am going to share with you the reason we come to this lovely place..............crystal clear blue warm waters and an atmosphere of relaxation and calm. Many people ask me about all the political and economically disruptions and difficulties in Greece, and yes all that does exist, however in our small little oasis called Kavala we are in our own little bubble of wonderfulness!!!!!!!!!!!!

Riva Beach Club and Bar
Here is a list of the main reasons we love this beach

Crystal clear waters that are shallow
Small kids play swimming pool
Best wooden platforms and lounge beds in Kavala

This beach is in a beach area called Ammolofoi. It is a stretch of wonderful, crystal blue water, shallow beaches about 30 minutes from Kavala. We head to this area about 4 days per week and frequent the many beach clubs in this area. For me going to the beach in Greece is called Civilized Beach going......you have bathrooms, showers, changing rooms, cafe/bar and/or restaurant on the sand, umbrellas and lounge chairs at almost every beach. There are waiters that bring you your coffee drink of choice! I only have to drag with me towels, beach toys and a change of clothes for the kids and myself (because we always go to a restaurant after the beach).

We are creatures of habit and repeatedly go to the beaches we love, by-passing the ones we don't like for whatever reason. We are the same about our restaurants. We have about 3-4 regular restaurants we frequent. We know the owners, we are treated like locals (oh, because we are locals) and the food is always amazing. Today we stepped out of our routine and went to a new restaurant for us..the result...SPECTACULAR! The restaurants name is "Street of Tastes" and oh it was tasty!!! I love the name but most importantly I love the location - on the sand!!! Below are some pictures! We'll be returning, FOR SURE!!!!

Enjoy today's post!!! More beaches to come!!

Recipe of the Week: Kormos from Greece

Image
Hi Everyone As a continuation from last year, this year each week I will try and make a Greek recipe here with the Greek ingredients that I can find here, that are usually a little harder to find in the states!!! This recipe however no problem finding the ingredients in the states!!! There is a restaurant we go to often called Isalos. We know the owners and they wait for my little group to arrive because my kids order big and we eat a lot!!! The speciality is fish and seafood of all sorts!! Here is a picture from last year to remind you of where I am talking about!! The Greek tradition when you eat at Greek restaurants is that the owner gifts you the dessert! Yes, no paying for dessert!!! And they usually bring you ice cold watermelon and a sweet dessert. Well at Isalos the favorite amongst my little group is the Kormos!! Literally no plates needed, you quickly just stab the nicely cut piece with a fork and just eat it off the fork! And then you fight for the few remaining piece

Here is Niko!!

Hi Everyone Niko is having a great time here. He has probably taken the longest to adjust as he is very settled in his life in San Diego with his school and classmates! But he has adjusted and is having a great time. Although he does ask a lot about his friends: what they are doing, where they are going for the summer, and if any are close by to him in Greece (Jonas in Norway is the closest and that makes him happy). Niko is a lover of the sea and the ruins of Greece. He is a sponge for anything historic and is constantly on the look out for ruins as we drive anywhere. The loves the sea, swims everywhere, snorkels and loves to eat everything that comes out of the sea. His favorite is the full size, grilled squid!!! He even asked Papou for it on his own......"remember Papou last time (2 years ago) I ate squid, but the whole thing, that is what I want".......and he got it!!! Every chance we get we eat squid!!!   Niko's favorite things in Greece Swimming Beach
