    “My daughter and I stayed at the Calile for three nights and we loved every moment. Exceptional staff and service from reception to the pool, gym and Hellenika (their Greek restaurant, which was beautiful and delicious). We loved our room - spacious and immaculately maintained during our visit - great mini bar when you want to have a wine or cocktail getting ready and a plethora of restaurants and nightspots to visit. And the shopping available was fantastic. We will be back!”
