It lies 95 kilometres southwest of Athens, Greece's capital city.
Enjoy a day photographing the ocean views at Kavouri Beach or Spetses Beach.
You won't need to go too far afield to take in some splendid natural sights. Pack up the car and head in the direction of Katafyki Gorge, 45 kilometres away from Nea Kios, for a relaxed day. Or perhaps Kapsia Cave looks more appealing? It's situated just 35 kilometres away.
On a clear, sunny day, Kolokotronis Park is a good place for a picnic lunch and a little bit of exercise.
Powder hounds love Nea Kios, as it provides access to Kalavrita Ski Resort and Mainalon Ski Resort. Just don't forget to bring some warm clothes! These snow-capped playgrounds can get seriously frosty.
Expand your horizons and see what's going on in Nafplio, 5 kilometres to the southeast. Many visitors come here for Komboloi Museum and Castle of Bourtzi. Alternatively, Argos-Mykines is 9 kilometres to the northwest of Nea Kios. Visit this place for easy access to Ancient Mycenae and Larissa Castle.
Nemea is 30 kilometres from Nea Kios and is an important part of the local region. Surrounding sights include the Archaeological Museum of Nemea, the Ancient Nemea and the Ktima Palivou. Still got time to kill? The Lafkioti and the Domaine Helios are also within reach.
To really experience a place is to immerse yourself in its food and drink, so prepare to munch, crunch, sip and slurp your way around Argolida. The only thing you need to take with you is a big appetite!
A traditional meal here often includes chicken and pork, two of the staple ingredients for which the region is known for plating up.
There's always a local plate or two you absolutely need to try, and during your time in Nea Kios, pan fried crab is certainly one of them. Moussaka (minced meat and aubergine casserole) is another much-loved dish that you'll want to keep an eye out for.
If a life without dessert isn't an option, you should definitely indulge in some loukoumades (deep fried pastry with honey). This sweet treat tells the story of the region in just one bite.
You haven't lived until you've tasted the local brew. Whether you want to satisfy your thirst or get some liquid courage to mingle with new people, ask for Neda.
Whether you're an authority on vino or you have no idea about oenology, you're sure to appreciate a glass of the local Savatiano Retsina or Lagorthi.
It's always tricky to say "Ta léme argótera" to Nea Kios, but you can always come back!
Flying home? Choose a route, pack up your bag and set an alarm. The closest airport, Eleftherios Venizelos Airport (ATH), is 110 kilometres to the east.
Who said that good service has to cost an arm and a leg? You'll have a peaceful night's shut-eye at a nice price at the Hotel Victoria and the Ignatia Hotel. Though, if you're the type who likes to live in luxury on holiday, the Nafplia Palace Hotel & Villas or the Amphitryon Hotel might be more to your taste.
