Have you ever felt like owning your time is more important than making money? So did we!We wanted to be creative, but creativity was crushed between the long working hours, the traffic and the everyday routine.We wanted to be active, but our workout was bursts of activity to satisfy the body, not our holistic well being.Our fridge was always stocked up with fruits and veggies, but their taste seem
ed distant, like the land where they were sourced from.And when the blue sky was smiling outside we could not enjoy the beautiful nature, either because we were busy or because nature was far.And so much more. So we took the risk, a risk that felt so natural as living itself.Live-Bio is a lifestyle concept, an approach to living life the way our bios (=life in ancient Greek) is meant to be. Because life is about being creative, active, close to nature, with healthy local food and art. Think about it: we use up a lot of time to buy money; but the only thing money cannot buy is time.Do you agree?

You’ve seen these guys jumping here before (including Flobi the flying 🐕 😂)! Maya and Dimitri are from Athens 🇬🇷 and love popping in to every now and then even just for a weekend. We squeezed in some ⛵️ and a lovely dinner at Apagio this time round. Let’s see what we do on their next visit 😃
P.S. Flobi 🐕 hit his own “how high can I fly” record this time round 😆

P.S. we also just finished the internal road. It came out pretty awesome. Watch this space for updates 😃

Great news! You can now do in 🤿 🐠🐡! A professional and highly experienced diving instructor, George Anagnostopoulos, has established a diving adventures company and school called . There are a number of diving options from beginners (minimum age is 10 years) to super advanced divers. You can explore the sea around Poros and Modi islands, or if you are looking for more adventurous sites, George can take you further, for example near Hydra or Methana (of course at an additional cost). And for the REALLY experienced and extreme divers there is a unique dive to see the World War II airplane wreck which lies at the depth of 40m. That is a crazy experience you will be telling your friends about for months (or years! 😉) to come!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you are keen to do a diving license that’s also possible. It’s an Andi license, it takes about 7-10 days (3h a day) and you need to be at least 18 years old.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what do you say? 😃 Keen to try something new this season? 😌

We met Em (from Georgia 🇺🇸) when she came the previous year with the Project Resound team to work on a sustainable tourism project for our area. This time she visited with her husband Clifton as she wanted to share with him all the beautiful places and cool things she discovered on her first trip. We certainly hope it was not the last time we see you guys! 🤗

Erin and Ewen are from Scotland 🏴 (fellow alumni of the University of Glasgow 😌). They enjoyed Live Bio and Galatopia in September (which is still summer time although with less heat and crowds 😊). Apart from plenty beach time and exploring our neighbourhood on 🦶🏻, we had a great trip to Nafplio 🏰 and the Ancient Theatre of Epidavros 🎭. Till the next time! 🤗

Aliki beach, just a short walk away from Live Bio (15-20min). Away from the road and busy mostly with the locals in summer. Great spot for swimming and relaxing when staying with us 😌🏖️

Probably no need to introduce Maria 🇸🇪🇬🇷, she has been a regular visitor for a number of years now. In fact she often says that her summer is not complete without a visit to Live Bio and Galatopia 🙃 Whenever she comes there is always some ⛵️, 🍷, 🌊🏊♀️ and visits to her favourite Apagio taverna. And that was the case this time round too. Looking forward to our next Jump Maria! 🤗

Great to see you again Sandy and Dan! And thank you for your beautiful music. The “Galatopia” melody you composed is so dreamy (as is the name 🥰). We will find the right words for it and hopefully will be able to play AND sing it together again! 🎶🪕

Could just sit and watch this view 😍 How about you?

Camilla (who is Italian 🇮🇹) and Callum study in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 and chose Live Bio for their summer break. They rented the cutest electric car 🚗 in Galatas and explored all around in it 😃 Perfect way to travel! 😊️ They even got a special souvenir which was hand made by Eleni at - a traditional colourful Greek carpet 😀👌We hope it brings back good memories and that you make another visit to sometime soon!
P.S. Nice coordination in jumping you guys! 😄

Xavier 🇫🇷 and Kerstin 🇩🇪 heard about Live Bio from their friends (Maja and Jonathan) who had stayed with us a few times already 😊 They were keen explorers of the local area visiting interesting sites and beautiful places, but chilling on their Live Bio balcony while sipping on a local🍷 was one of their favourite activities ☺️ Xavier, Kerstin, we look forward to having you with us again!

If you plan to combine your visit at Live Bio with work🧑💻, don’t worry, you will have a dedicated, comfy working space (with fast internet) and beautiful sea views to turn to whenever you need a quick break 😉 Oh, and your work commute is about 3 steps 😄

2nd crossing organised by Elias from Volcanotrails. We started our 9.5km route from the Methana town and crossed all the way through the mountain to the village of Ano Mouska (facing north). Absolutely beautiful day with THESE views, fresh air, great company and lovely gathering with food and music at the end. THANK YOU Elias and Team for making it possible! 🙏⛰️💚💙
Eleni, Kostis and their kids Lydia and Christos come to us on a road trip all the way from Thessaloniki 🇬🇷. They told us that for them Live Bio was a destination on its own 💙 They enjoyed exploring including a sail ⛵️ with captain Periklis and just loved the views from their balcony 🌅 The kids also had fun time playing 🏓 and games in our common room. We hope to see them again one day! 🤗

Happy long weekend to our Greek friends! Hope the sun will be shining wherever you are going to be 🌞💙

Amelie 🇫🇷 and Konrad 🇵🇱 seem to love Live Bio and Galatopia. This was their second visit and let’s just say it was not the last 😃 They enjoy escaping their busy lives in always buzzing London 🇬🇧 and exchanging it for two weeks of calmness, relaxation, swimming, snorkelling, sailing, eating yummy Greek food and fun get togethers with wine and good company 😌 Spoiler alert: this year will be their 4th time at Live Bio and we honestly CAN’T wait to have them here! 😍

From the series of exploring our area 🏝️⛰️🧗♂️🚴♀️
What we did last Sunday:
- first swim of the year 🌊
- for Periklis it was the first time visit to the gorgeous, sandy beach opposite Hydra 🏖️
- cycle and visit to the Didima gorge and caves 🚵🏻♂️ 🐑
- visiting tiny churches made in a rock 💒
- some more cycling in Ermioni area 🚴♀️🌊
- seafood dinner right on the sea 🦐
just rocks! 💙💚🤎
You’ve met this wonderful family from Kyiv 🇺🇦 before. Olesia, her parents Svetlana and Nikolai and her kids Max and Kristina spent 6 months living in Galatopia. They were forced to leave the country after the war broke out. Olesia’s husband and dad of Max and Kristina, Pasha, had to stay behind in case he was called to the frontline to fight. Olesia and her family made Galatopia their home for that time and many good hearted locals looked after them as much as they could. But being apart and living in such uncertainty was not an option any longer and so they went back to Kyiv. A year and a half later the war is still very much on. Olesia and her family take each day as it comes and try not to think too much about the situation (although it is extremely hard…). We are thinking of you and hoping soon enough you will be able to come back and visit Galatopia, as tourists 🤗

It was super nice to meet Marwa and Yohan 🇧🇪 🇲🇦🇫🇷 They visited us from Belgium where they live and work. They chose Live Bio because, as they said, they wanted to “properly rest and relax”. And that’s what they did during their 10 day stay 😎 Everyday was a good 🏖️ day and so they explored the nicest beaches in our area. One fun memory is Marwa, Yohan, our other guests Amelie and Konrad, and Periklis gazing at the ✨💫 on our deck. It was a night of shooting stars which is quite a spectacle to witness here 😍

Agnieszka and her daughter Milenką 🇵🇱 really enjoyed their stay, especially the views from their balcony (this is where you could find them most of the time 😉). They also enjoyed exploring around and savouring local Greek cuisine, especially at Apagio and Odyssey 😃 They said they would love to come back one day! 🥰

Since last year there is another fun activity on #Poros - seeing the world underwater with a Nemo submarine 🐟🐠🐡🪼🐙 (technically it does not submerge, but it has these large windows at its bottom). Kids love it! These are some snap shots from a trip we did with Magdalena’s niece and nephew. If coming to #Galatopia with kids, go try it 😃
Χριστός Ανέστη! Happy 🇬🇷 Orthodox Easter! 🐣 🕯️🐑🌺🍷💃🏻🕺🏻We spent it with our Greek family on the island of Aigina (where Periklis’s grandparents lived and where he and his cousins spent their summer holidays as kids). #GreekEaster #GreekOrthodoxEaster #καλοπασχα #Greektradition #Greece #Greece_is #visitgreece #Greekculture #greekislands #slowtravel #slowliving
Another stunning hike on #Methana this past Sunday. Thank you, thank you, thank youuuu @elia.srizo.s from @volcanotrails for guiding us and sharing your incredible knowledge about this ancient peninsula! People were living here 4000-5000 years ago and we could see their traces (like ruined of houses and ancient wine presses). Beautiful day with nature and history 🥰💚💙 And those views…
First #sail of the season! And also the first one on this gorgeous baby ⛵️- Naziarini (AKA Naziara 2.0 😉). For those coming to visit us this season and are keen for some sailing, you will be able to meet her yourselves🤩 Aaand look who’s also come to say hello! 🐬🐬🐬🐬
Aahh the beautiful Nafplio 💙 Definitely worth a visit while you are staying with us. Ask these guys 😉 @izzy2726 @ameliemisako @konrad_pioro Did you know it was the first capital of modern Greece? (Actually technically it was the second as the island of Aigina took the first spot, even if only for 2 weeks 😌). The Palamydi fortress is worth a visit (look at these views!). You can get there by climbing 999 steps 😰 Or just drive your car to the top if you’re not feeling too energetic 😄 And don’t miss the old town walk (while eating famous Nafplio 🍦).

Have you been to #Methana with us before? Without exaggeration, it’s one of our favourite spots in the world! Nature just rules here ⛰️🌳🌊 Here are a few snaps from a 🌋 hike and Pigeon cave visit we did with this awesome crew last August 😎
#Summer throwback to a Devil’s Bridge adventure with these four 🥰🤗 Can you believe this is Greece? It’s actually a 20min drive from Live Bio. Come and explore it with us on your next visit! 😃
Shout out to all 🏓 lovers out there! Care to join us for a game (or two) this season? 😉 📽️ and 🏓 credit to Mary and Lia 😃
A fun summer #throwback to awesome excursions we did with Izzy and Jack! We visited 3000 year old #Mycenae 🗿 and romantic #Nafplio 🏰, we hiked the #Methana volcano 🌋, we climbed down and swam in the Pigeon cave 🧗🏻♀️💦 and ate fresh fish while playing with kittens in the quaint harbour of Vathi 🐠🐈⬛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thank you @izzy2726 for sharing this cool video, great memories! 😍 Let’s see what we do next time! 😉 * * * #livebiofamily #livebio #finditliveit #slowtravel #postcardplaces #takemethere #traveltherenext #traveldeeper #travel_greece #travelwell #travellikealocal #Peloponnese #VisitGreece #discovergreece #Greece #Poros
From the series of #hiking #Galatopia: this past weekend we decided to do some more exploration of beautiful #Methana. We hiked from Kameni Chora (from our friend’s Theodoris restaurant called Wine Therapy) all the way to the little church of Krasopanagia which literally means Virgin Mary of the Wine (interesting coincidence 😉). There is an interesting story behind this name. Apparently about 150 years ago two local men were carrying wine on a small traditional boat when the strong winds almost caused them to sink. They prayed to Virgin Mary to save them and promised that if she did, they would build her a church which instead of water would use 🍷 mixed with concrete. And so they did ⛪️ You should know that the trail is very tough and definitely not for those who have a fear of heights ⛰️ But it is truly rewarding 🥰 The views are spectacular, nature captivating and the calmness of the place hard to compare. After the hike we felt like rewarding ourselves with some nice Nemea wine and a fresh local fish grilled on our patio 🍷🐟 That’s what we call a perfect day in Galatopia 😊 * * #hikegreece #hikingadventures #hikingday #livebio #Greece #Peloponnese #visitgreece #discovergreece #greece_is #greece_is_awesome #postcardplaces #takemethere

Meet Hatulka 🐱 She is a new addition to our little family. She is the 3rd kitty member together with her auntie Asproula 🐈 (who is not exactly ecstatic to have her around 🤨 although is slowly getting used to her company 😌) and cousin Harry 🐈⬛ (who doesn’t seem to mind her too much fortunately 😌). P.S. Hatulka is a mix of a Hebrew and Greek name (hatula in Hebrew means girl cat, similar to gatoula in Greek) with a Polish twist to make it sound cute 😻We chose it together with our Israeli guests and friends Bar and Eden with whom we found her. So that’s the background story of Hatulka’s name 😃 She is a playful and adorable little thing and we are already in love with her 🫶 * * * * #catlife #catlover #cats_of_world #catsofinstagram #livebio #slowliving
