Calilo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Calilo, Ios – A Dreamlike Experience Beyond Words From the very start, Calilo gave us an experience we will never forget. The pick-up from the port was exceptional 🚐✨ – a luxurious van that immediately set the tone for the days to come. (Pictures to follow 📸). The moment we stepped into the property, it felt like stepping into another dimension – mesmerising, intriguing, UNIQUE, and magical all at once. 🌸 At the gate, we were greeted warmly by Yannos, who explained everything to us while offering a refreshing welcome drink with delicious snacks. 🥂 Elle took care of us at the table – she was simply super awesome, genuine, and incredibly helpful. We ended up chatting and laughing so much with her that it felt like we were amongst friends. 💙 We had booked a 2-bedroom suite, but to our surprise, we were upgraded to the 3-bedroom “Journey of Love” suite – what a blessing! 🙏 Though we thought it might not suit us as two couples, fate (moíra) had other plans. Staying in this suite felt like a dream come true. One of the highlights of our trip was visiting Pathos, also created by the same visionary. There, we had the privilege of meeting Mrs. Vassiliki Petridou – the brilliant, genuine, life-filled soul behind both Calilo and Pathos (and many other gems on Ios). Our conversation lasted only a few minutes, but her warmth and energy will leave a lifelong impression. 🌟 Her kindness went far beyond words. It was my friend’s birthday, and when we returned from Pathos, we found a handwritten card and a thoughtful book waiting in our suite 🎁📖 – even though the property is a 45-minute drive away. We later learned that she had personally called the manager several times to check on us! She also gifted our wives a beautiful silk set with several items inside – a gesture of generosity and filoxenía (hospitality) that touched our hearts deeply. Calilo currently has just 36 rooms, each one completely different and filled with the creativity (dhimioúrgia) and optimism of its designer. We even had the privilege of seeing one of the 1-bedroom suites, and it too was absolutely magical. ✨ Waking up to the sunrise (ílios) from our villa balcony was an unforgettable moment 🌅 – a peaceful, almost spiritual way to start the day. With heavy hearts 💔, we bid farewell to this paradise – our “final destination” before Athens and then home. But as the Greeks say, “Mέχρι να ξανασυναντηθούμε” (Until we meet again) – Calilo, thank you for giving us memories we will cherish forever. 💫 Efcharistó, Calilo. You are truly beyond words.

This isn’t just a resort—it’s a living work of art. From the moment we arrived, we felt the love. Our lovely concierge Sandy welcomed us with open arms, guiding us through the magical entrance and sharing the soulful story behind Calilo. We were already filled with emotion and gratitude—and that was before we even saw our villa! We stayed in the Moon Wake 2-Bedroom Villa, and it was next-level amazing—like a luxury apartment carved into paradise. George at the front desk and his team were outstanding, ensuring we had everything we needed with warmth and genuine care. The restaurant staff were wonderful from start to finish. The breakfast spread was incredible, and both lunch and dinner offered delicious options—the local fish was especially fresh and flavorful. Don’t miss the gym and spa! Book the Lume Lume Hawaiian treatment—it’s so much more than a massage; it was a truly spiritual experience. I honestly can’t say enough. If you want a transformational, unforgettable experience—you must visit Calilo. Celebrate Life. 💛
