Kivik

One of the better-known former fishing villages along the Slow Coast, Kivik has retained its reputation as a quiet seaside colony of artists and retired academics, even if that’s not quite the true demography any more.

One of the better-known former fishing villages along the Slow Coast, Kivik has retained its early-C21st reputation as a quiet seaside colony of artists and retired academics, even if that’s not quite the true demography any more. Brösarp is the closest settlement of significant size, and thus your best option is you can’t find somewhere to stay in the village itself (where accommodation, whether permanent or temporary, is very highly sought after).

Historically speaking, Kivik was one of the big stops on the Ålakust (“eel coast”), though these days the fishing of actual eels is very strictly controlled. However, if you want to get as close to that classic experience as is still possible, well, you’ve come to the right place
