On the island of Ios there is the Calilo hotel, part of the LuxurIos chain. Calilio means "Create a life you can fall in love with." The hotel was built of local stone in a rocky valley surrounded by the Aegean Sea. Approximately 30 minutes from the main attractions, the village of Chora and the port, Hotel Calilo is an oasis of peace. It has a private beach, a large 50-meter indoor pool with additional mini pools and a water bar. Situated by Panas Beach, but also a few steps away from Manganari Beach, awarded with a blue flag, each of its four parts creates a majestic lagoon considered one of the most beautiful places for swimming in the entire Aegean Sea.

This boutique and luxurious Calilo hotel on the island of Ios has 30 rooms, some of which have private pools. The owner-designed interiors are lavishly decorated with hand-crafted local marble mosaics, and at least one wall of the room has a sliding French window with blinds. The hotel offers accommodation in a 2- or 3-bedroom apartment with a private pool, a one-bedroom apartment, and each of them guarantees privacy.

The Greek cuisine in the hotel restaurant is excellent. It is worth trying Moussaka made in season with eggplant and tomatoes from the hotel's organic garden, and rolls with onion leaves with lemon foam, black seeds and spearmint emulsion. Food is served all day, and the extensive breakfast buffet includes everything from fresh fruit, homemade yogurt and local honey to delicious Greek specialties such as cheese cake and cream cakes.
