In addition, we encourage our guests to take advantage of the open paths going up the mountain and the olive and lemon groves in the area Live-Bio is a lot more than a business to us. It is a lifestyle and a way to meet people! Interacting with our guests is a core element of our offering. We organise a number of activities in the local area (wine tasting, sailing, hiking etc) and we throw a dinner for our guests every now and then, just to meet each other better! The property is on the mainland (Peloponnese) just outside the town of Galatas, offering gorgeous views to the island of Poros. Highly recommended for connoisseurs of relaxation and romance. You will find all amenities you require in the region, including grocery stores, local produce markets, a beautiful spa and beaches (closest is a 5min walk away or 500m down the hill from Live-Bio). We also offer a number of activities in the area (excursions and day trips to various ancient sites and historical locations, wine tasting, cooking classes, yoga, cycling, hikes and many more) as well as memorable sailing trips in the region. Our region is a great place for visiting nearby beaches, historical sites (including two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Sanctuary of Asclepius with the gorgeous Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus and the Palace of Mycenae in Tiryns), the stunning volcanic peninsula of Methana, the wine making region of Nemea and the famous Lemon Tree grove which is only 500 meters away. Poros Island is 2 minutes away on a taxi boat (costs 1 euro) from the town of Galatas. We are 1.5 kilometers out of the town of Galatas on the Peloponnese, a leisurely 20 minute walk including a steep 200 meters uphill (hey, you cannot have gorgeous views and be at sea level! – we are located about 40 meters above sea level, the 200 meters is the walking distance, but still pretty steep!) Being on the mainland, our property can be accessed by car and by ferry. The drive from the Athens International Airport is 2.5 hours on a well sign posted route, also serviced by a regular bus connection. Alternatively, guests can pick up the catamaran from the Port of Piraeus and be at Poros in 1 hour. We will pick you up right there and take you to our property with our comfy car. If you wish, we can also organise a door to door pick-up from the airport, bringing you straight to your room with no hassle! Come and enjoy the silence, whilst being a stone's throw away from the vibe. Tourist License / Licencia de turismo N °: MHTE0262K124K0320001More

Well worth the wait!
We had been wanting to visit Live Bio since 2018 and 4 years later, it finally happened. We spent 4 glorious days at Live Bio in beautiful, comfortable accommodation with the most spectacular sun rises each morning. We also enjoyed morning swims close by and Magdalena gave us the best suggestions for restaurants. We explored the island extensively because we had a car and this was very useful. The absolute cherry on the top for me, was opening the fridge to find the most beautiful birthday cake Magdelina had bought for me. So thoughtful! (and delicious). We will be back!

A true gem in a land of 1.000 adventures.
Friends of ours kept raving about this place until one day we simply could not stand it any longer … and took off to check it out for ourselves 😉! And despite our incredibly hyped expectations we were clean swept off our feet. Live-bio is all beauty and good vibes. The Peleponnes and Galatas provide a scenery of natural, cultural, and historical treasures. We went from one amazing nearby beach to the next and spent hours in the crystal-clear ocean. There are plenty of adventures waiting, we especially loved watching a play at the ancient theatre of Epidaurus and of course the amazing experience at “In the land of the wolf”. The apartments are simply beautiful and the view alone is priceless. But after all…it is really the kindness and spirit of Magdalena and Periklis that make the place special. It is very rare to find it all in one place – but I guess that is the magic of Live-bio in Galatopia!

Perfect Place to Recharge Batteries in Greece - far from the crowds
The first thought I had on opening the door to the very clean and spacious and fully equipped studio: when shall I book again?! The view from the balcony is out of this world! Then I met the friendly locals, the yummy food, the sunsets and sundowns, this place is really a little gem! I could not help smiling loudly the whole week! a special thank you to Magdalena - very friendly with lot of recommendations up her sleeve; always facilitating; this is great to be able to discover a place and not just do the touristy activities! I hope I ll be lucky to be able to come again very soon! PS:I contemplated NOT writing a review since I wanted to selfishly keep this place secret....!!!

Fantastic stay and amazing hosts - can't wait to go back!
We had a fantastic stay at Live Bio this Summer. I can only reiterate everything positive that's been said about the location, accommodation and Magdalena and Periklis already. This is a special place and so easy to get to Poros by water taxi. Local restaurants in Galatas are very, very reasonable and authentic too, great breakfast place at the harbour with lovely views of the island. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place, so many people staying there are returning guests which says a lot. It feels very homely, and we can't wait to return!

A little piece of paradise
This is the second year of staying with Magdalena and Periklis at their beautiful accommodation and home… the views are breathtaking and the accommodation has everything you need for a comfortable stay… Poros is easily accessible by water taxi and there are good restaurants both in Poros and Galatas… we also had a magical afternoon sailing with Periklis… would definitely recommend

A place that feels like home
It is a home away from home for everyone that is lucky enough to live the experience that Live-bio has to offer. Spacious rooms, common room and pool area with great attention to detail. Pericles and Magdalena are the best hosts anyone can wish for. A place with amazing view, a place to create unique memories and meet amazing people, a place to come back.

Delightful stay at Live-bio!
We had a lovely lovely week at Live-bio! Magdalena and Periklis are extremely helpful and gave us plenty of recommendations. The accommodation is in a great location and has all that is needed; also the view from the room is breathtaking. The room and balcony are private yet it is possible to meet with other guests in the common room and by the pool, the atmosphere is really nice! Would highly recommend and hopefully we will be back :)

Heaven
This was my second visit to Live-Bio & my second slice of heaven. On both visits I took a diverse group of friends, all with pretty high expectations...& no one has been disappointed. A glorious drive through the mountains down into bustling Galatas - a lovely, friendly (EVERYONE knows Magdalena & Perikles!), safe town with water taxi & ferry over to Poros Island. Then the short climb up to the paradise of Live-Bio. Shockingly beautiful views, delightful, large suites, big balconies to enjoy Sundowners...but the most special thing about this place is Magdalena & Perikles who have made Live-Bio a peaceful haven. They are really warm, helpful & fun people who'll make your stay the best possible. Sure, you can hop over to the island & enjoy tourism madness; you can sit & enjoy wonderful food in town, you can go out on the boat with Perikles (be sure to put 80's music on your playlist so you can get him to sing with you!)... then return to your retreat up the hill to soak in peace. This place has it all going on for those who love good food, good wine, good company & good nurture. Hang on, I should delete all the above so I can keep this place to myself!!!

What is there not to like!! Beautiful apartment with stunning view of the island of Poros! Delightful hosts who were just so kind and had thought of everything to make the holiday memorable.

A month long stay not long enough!
Arriving from Canada solo I could not have asked for a more friendly welcome to Greece and the area of Poros and Galatas. Whisked off to dinner with local fitness.”, guests and the hosts to a superb Odessa restaurant it started ther stay off on a never ending time of adventure, friendliness and generosity that makes this a unique place. Magdelana and Periklis are generous with their time - their home and as anyone from taxi drivers to store owners, and restaurant owners will tell you - they are an important part of what makes “community”. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to have a relaxing, safe and adventurous journey abroad! Thx again for making my time away such a delight - when you want to stay longer - it’s a sign you were in the right place with the best of people.

The property is on the mainland (Peloponnese), 1.5 kilometers outside the town of Galatas. This is a 20 minute walk (at least when the summer heat is not scorching everything) including a steep 200 meters uphill (hey, you cannot have gorgeous views and be at sea level! – we are located about 40 meters above sea level, the 200 meters is the walking distance, but still pretty steep!) You will find all amenities you require in the region, including grocery stores, local produce markets, a beautiful spa and beaches.

Our region is a great place for visiting nearby beaches, historical sites (including two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Sanctuary of Asclepius with the gorgeous Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus and the Palace of Mycenae in Tiryns), the stunning volcanic peninsula of Methana, the wine making region of Nemea and the famous Lemon Tree forest which is only 500 meters away. Poros Island is 2 minutes away on a taxi boat (costs 1 euro) from the town of Galatas. Come and enjoy the gorgeous views and the silence, whilst being a stone's throw away from the vibe.

Car not needed
How to get there
Generally you don't need a car to get around, but if walking is not your thing, you might consider renting one in Athens or locally in Galatas town. Live-Bio is located a leisurely 20 minute walk including a steep 200 meters uphill (hey, you cannot have gorgeous views and be at sea level! – we are located about 40 meters above sea level, the 200 meters is the walking distance, but still pretty steep!) from the town of Galatas. From Galatas you can also go across to Poros island, 2min trip by taxi boat, 1 EUR one way). There is also a car rental place in Galatas so if you decide to do some road trips in the area, you can just get a car for a day or a few days and discover the nearby places. You can find Live-Bio on Google maps as well.
