Kalloni bay

We had a wonderful stay at Kalloni Bay Hotel on the beautiful island of Lesbos, a holiday that left us with unforgettable memories and a strong desire to return. From the very first day, we were impressed by the warm hospitality of the hotel staff. Everyone welcomed us with genuine smiles, was kind, attentive, and always willing to help with recommendations for places to visit and seaside tavernas where we could enjoy authentic local cuisine. The peaceful and friendly atmosphere made us feel completely at home. The hotel is located in an excellent area, just a short walk from the sea. Although it has a beautiful, clean swimming pool, we preferred spending our days at the beach and exploring the coastline. We rented a car and set off to discover the beauty of Lesbos. Every drive revealed breathtaking scenery: picturesque villages, endless olive groves, hidden bays, and stunning beaches with crystal-clear turquoise waters. We found both well-organized beaches, perfect for relaxing, and small secluded coves where the tranquility and natural beauty created unforgettable moments. Every stop was a pleasant surprise and another opportunity to admire the authentic charm of the island. One of the highlights of our holiday was undoubtedly the food. Every evening we chose a different taverna by the sea, where we enjoyed truly exceptional dining experiences. The fresh fish and seafood, prepared according to traditional Greek recipes, were simply outstanding. Sardines, anchovies, gilt-head bream, sea bass, grilled octopus, calamari, and shrimp, seasoned with local olive oil, fresh lemon, and aromatic herbs, were all incredibly fresh and full of authentic Mediterranean flavor. Dining just a few steps from the water, with the gentle sea breeze, spectacular sunsets, and the warm hospitality of the taverna owners, made every dinner a truly memorable experience. Lesbos is an island that perfectly combines breathtaking natural beauty, rich Greek traditions, and the genuine hospitality of its people. Our stay at Kalloni Bay Hotel offered everything we were looking for: relaxation, beautiful landscapes, and outstanding culinary experiences. We returned home with unforgettable memories and the certainty that we will gladly come back to this charming island in the future.

Had a wonderful stay at the Kalloni Bay Hotel in July 2026. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease. The property is exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Staff couldn't do enough for you. The pool area is a massive highlight, featuring a beautiful, clean pool and a great pool bar.It is just a short walk to the must-visit bars and restaurants in the village square. Pro tip: Definitely hire a car. Public transport and excursions are rare here, so your own wheels are essential. I would absolutely return!

Having seen the previous reviews we were not sure what we’d find, but we were very happy with our stay. Firstly the staff were lovely and friendly and we had no problem, always happy to assist us and have a chat. As usual trying a a few Greek words like kalimera and efharisto breaks the ice! The cleaning ladies were lovely. The rooms are gradually being updated, we had an older one on the ground floor which was enough for us with hanging space for clothes and drawers for other items. The bathroom was manageable but had a small shower tray with curtains which could be awkward for some people however the water was nice and hot. The fridge was a nice size, clean and cold. The bed was comfortable but you can get a mattress topper from reception if required and the aircon was really good and worked really well. Wi fi was a bit hit and miss sometimes in the room. Breakfast was very good with a small choice of hot food (hard boiled eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, local bacon and small sausages), then a variety of cereals, cold meat and cheese, pastries, bread etc with the usual bread toaster, coffee machine and tea making. We did not go hungry and there was always plenty there. The pool was excellent, big and clean with enough sunbeds. The seating area was nice and the bar had reasonable prices, it closed at seven in the evening. It was nice to look over at the sea which was just over a quiet bit of road, easy to have a quick dip whenever it got too hot. There was also a new paved road just being finished which took you parallel to the sea and into the main part of Skala Kallonis which was a ten minute walk. Skala Kallonis itself is very nice with a very relaxed vibe. I would definitely stay here again both for the place and people but also for its fantastic situation.
