A very good location for those who want to be near/in the village Kalyves, and those who prioritise a location without noise during nighttime. The apartment was found to be very clean, and with very good and friendly support from the hosts.
Visiting the place in April is probably a ballot with regards to weather, which we knew in advance. And a tip; There is a bakery close to the apartment, and the standard phrase from the bakery staff whenever we went in there and asked for croissants was: "Maybe tomorrow". So just be prepared. (but they have a lot of other good stuff!

Fantastic apartment, I could live there 😀 - Such a nice apartment. Recently renovated but with a very nice blend of old (windows, doors and stairs) and new (floor, painted, USB-C sockets in the walls etc.) and super well equipped. The vibe in the apartment was sort of "Mediterranean" New Yorker apartment. We stayed in the two-bedroom "Sirakosa" apartment with sea view. We came here after a 2-week stay in Platanias, coming to Kalyves was a much more relaxed feeling and less touristy. Natasa was a great host as well. 😞 - Nothing to complain about but I do recommend having a rental car if you stay here and want to go anywhere else than Kalyves.

We‘ve just spent 6 days at one of the wonderful Avra Apartments. Everything was perfect, such a nice apartment, peaceful up a little hill with everything provided you could think of. Moreover, Natasa and Stelio were super nice and would surely have helped with anything, only there was absolutely nothing missing or not working, so we didn’t need any support. Lovely vacation, would return in a heartbeat!

We had a lovely stay at this apartment! The view is beautiful and you have everything you need in walking distance. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are going to Crete.

Tolle Unterkunft, auch für eine Reise mit einem Kleinkind. Neben der schönen Wohnung mochten wir auch die ruhige Straße mit Blick aufs Meer und die sehr netten Nachbarn. Wir haben uns hier rundum wohl gefühlt.

My husband and I stayed here for 10 wonderful days. The owners were warm, welcoming and happy to help with reccomendations for restaurants, day trips etc. Most of the time we ate out because the local cusine is very tasty but there is everything you need to cook for yourself. The rooms were immaculately clean with a comfy bed, hot shower and easy to use air conditioning. The town square and beach are less than a 10 minute walk away. Overall I can honestly say it was perfect accomodation and perfect location.

We had a very nice stay. We especially liked the small "village" the apartment is located in. I highly recommend this place. Especially if you have a car available. Visiting Rethymno / Chenai / Beaches or Hiking Trails is easy from this spot. It is worth mentioning that the host (Stelios) is a very nice person!

The apartment was really nice and cosy. with all the amenities you want, need and more. Stelios and Natasa have really made us feel very relaxed and welcomed when meeting up for the keys. The apartment was to a high level of cleanliness. lovely modern rooms . a very comfy living room. we was walked through how to use everything in the apartment which made us feel right at home. Natasa also helped me with some questions of the local area.
I hope to book again very soon.
Thank you both for such a lovely stay
