Very friendly hosts and spacious apartment. 😀 - Apartment was very spacious and comfortable with easy access to Kalyves. We stayed in December 2021 over Christmas and we cooked a Christmas dinner in the apartment. Natasa is a fantastic host and couldn’t have done anymore for us! Apartment was clean and modern and could sign into our Netflix and Prime account on the TV to watch our shows. Wi-Fi very good. 😞 - Nothing.

We have just returned from our third visit to the Avra Apartments and had a wonderful time with the amazing owners Natasa and Stelios. Their welcome and hospitality is second to none and they really made as feel part of their family.||||I have posted two previous reviews on the Avra so they can be accessed for further information on the Apartments. Suffice it to say they are absolutely beautiful and come highly recommended in every way. We slept wonderfully in the very comfortable king size bed and all the equipment, furniture and fittings are of a very high standard indeed – attention to detail is amazing and the lovely artistic touches give the warmth and comfort of one’s own home. The outlook from our terrace is stunning with a lovely view across Souda Bay.||||If there were more stars to award this property then I would indeed give it far more than five!!! Thank you again Natasa and Stelios – we hope to see you again next year.

这是一次极其棒的住宿体验,房东真的细心体贴,让我们四天的住宿格外舒适。房间让我觉得在家一样,床单被褥洗衣机,厨具调料应有尽有,去海边帮我们准备了浴巾和太阳伞,入住第一天给我们准备了每人一份的水果,清理房间帮我们准备了自己做的希腊小点心,今天风大气温低留了字条告诉我们热水可能不足要当心,房间有空调 洗衣机 每个房间有独立的wifi 如果再次旅行,我还会选择这里。||Une expérience excellente à cet appartement. Nous avons passé 4 jours tres confortable comme chez nous. L appartement est très bien équipé dans la cuisine et la salle d'eau. Un panier de bienvenu à été préparé dès l'arrivé avec des fruits de saison. Elles nous préparent également chaque jour des petites surprises avant la rentrée, des biscuits maison, des conseils pour lendemain... Le wifi est individuel par appartement et la vitesse est très bonne.||La décoration est moderne et "artiste", pleins d articles faites à la main.||Nous y séjournerons sûrement une prochaine fois...

The apartment was just amazing!
Very clean, very pretty, exactly as shown on the pictures, amazing view, everything we needed was there, especially in the kitchen and the bathroom.
That is just surpassed by the extremely (I assume wife of the host Stelios) Natasha! She checked in with us every day without being annoying, she had the best recommendations for Kalyves and the surrounding villages and the whole area of Chania. We were so satisfied by that! She also made sure the cleaning is on the right day so that it fits our plans and could answer every question we had.

Also, Kalyves is a nice little village and we got everything we needed from the lots of little stores (small supermarkets, butcher, bakery etc.) on the main street, which was just around the corner.
The apartment was easy to find and also had a parking spot for our rented car.
All in all, it couldn't have been any better, I would highly recommend this stay!

Both Natasha and Stelios were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The apartment was excellent for us , though we have been to Kalvyes a number of times before this is the best apartment we have been in . Well equipped everything you need.
We will hopefully be back!!
Thank you

Stunning apartment right by the ocean. Even better than it looks in the pictures. Stelios was friendly and helpful; he helped us arrange a car and greeted us for check in and check out. The apartment had everything you could need and was only a short drive from Chania. Truly a lovely place to stay and we’d highly recommend it!

Έμεινα πέρσι το καλοκαίρι στο Αυρα και πραγματικά ήταν όλα άψογα! Πεντακάθαρο ολοκαίνουριο δωμάτιο-σουίτα, με πολυ προσεγμένη διακόσμηση, τέλεια στρώματα, μεγάλο μπαλκόνι με θέα. Η τοποθεσία επίσης είναι ιδανική, δίπλα από τη θάλασσα, κοντά στα Χανιά και ιδανική για εξορμήσεις ώστε να γνωρίσετε τις ομορφιές της Κρήτης. Οι ιδιοκτήτες ευγενέστατοι, καλόκαρδοι, είναι ταξιδιώτες κ αυτοί οπότε ξέρουν τι σημαίνει φιλοξενία και σεβασμός στον ταξιδιώτη. Εκαναν τα πάντα για να μείνουμε ευχαριστημένοι. Και το κατάφεραν με το παραπάνω! Θα ξαναπάω σίγουρα, ότι καλύτερο στην Κρήτη!

Stelios und Natasa sind hervorragende Gastgeber. Die beiden sind super nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Das Apartment ist meiner Meinung nach in natura noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Wir haben uns sofort total wohlgefühlt und sind total glücklich diese Unterkunft gefunden zu haben. Das persönliche Highlight war für uns der bestens ausgestattete Grill! 🙂 Wir kommen sehr gern wieder!

Feeling home away in beautiful Crete 😀 - Very helpful owners, size of the apartment, individual terrace with sea view and a washing machine for our mid-holiday needs. We had a perfect stay that helped us discovering a new to us region. Natasa was very helpful. In Kalyves we could also recommend the restaurant Mythos, were we had several great and affordable dinners. 😞 - Nothing.

Absolutely looove this location. Extremely cute and cozy. Amazing views of the water and mountains. Natasa was a phenomenal host! My flight got delayed so I unfortunately arrive a little later than anticipated and she still greeted me with a big smile and treated me like a good friend. Very comfortable accommodations. She offered several great suggestions for food and activities. I will definitely stay here again when I return to Crete. Thanks so much!
