We believe travelling is about engagement with people, the local communities and the local culture. Comfy beds and cocktails on the beach are great, but the sense of personal fulfilment is so much greater when they are combined with people-based experiences.
At the same time, socialising with people is something we have always enjoyed doing and one of the reasons we decided to drop our previous professional careers.
We have therefore aimed for Live-Bio to be exactly that, a small community hub for visitors and the local population. We love bonding with people from different cultures and backgrounds, we want to hear your story, we want to chat and laugh. We enjoy building relationships, with our guests, our suppliers and the local community.
We call them the Live-Bio family!

Humans of Poros – Kyria Vaso (1)

Humans of Poros – Alex Papadopoulos (2)
That was a time when I also did my military service as it was (and still is today) obligatory after school. I was sent to do it in Rodos. I was convinced they would put me in the kitchen due to my chef experience, but they actually put me...
Humans of Poros: Alex Papadopoulos (1)
I was born in South Hampton in England in 1990, but I grew up here on Poros together with my brother Iakobos (Jamie). He was always by my side since I remember. He taught me a lot. I appreciate the fact that we grew up on Poros as opposed...

Finding Our Second Home in Greece
After a wonderful yet exhausting visit to Rome, Holly and I were looking forward to going back to Greece. This was not simply a desire to relax on a lovely beach, we were looking forward to a reunion with our friends at Live Bio. We’d been refreshed the previous year...
