Stayed at Avra Apartments during Christmas 2021 whilst house searching in the local area. We wasn't originally supposed to be staying here but we had a bad experience at an another Air B&B so abandoned that one and found Avra Apartments last minute, a couple of days before Christmas. Natasa and the hosts were absolutely fantastic, we informed them of our poor experience at the other apartment, and they had the heating ready for us to arrive. We spent up to New years Eve there, and Natasa was great asking how we were getting on and recommending her favourite restaurants open out of season as well as the gifts of wine, fruit and treats. There is a fantastic cake bakery at the bottom of the drive that we use all the time when in Kalyves. Apartments are great size and modern. The location is great and easy to walk into town. Some parking spaces are available, but if not, parking is available nearby. The TV had Netflix installed so we could plug into our account during the evenings. We're very grateful to Avra for their hospitality.

Absolutely Perfect 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.read moreread less

Fabulous view We stayed at Avra (also known as Breezes) Apts in the top rooms (Siroko). The view was amazing, the bed was the most comfortable I've slept in in Greece, soft pillows, free with fi, air con, satellite TV,combination safe, full size cooker with oven, washing machine, brand name hairdryer and lots of other useful items too numerous to mention. 3 balconies on total.One very large overlooking the sea,one to the side catching the late afternoon sun and a third, smaller, for the washing.Anna the owner, and Natasa, were both very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us.Avra is about 15 mins slow walk to the nearest taverna (Akrigialos) - walk along the sea road,it's safer, and about 20-25 mins stroll to the far end of the village.The good news is, Anna's neighbour is a taxi driver and if you ask her she will organise a lift for you. (5 euros to the far end of the village.No price increase after midnight)The only downside was the fairly steep narrow road to the apartment.read moreread less

You haven't met Crete like this If you truly want to experience a wonderful part of Crete in a true wonderful style, then you have to visit Avra apartments, located in a place near the main town of Chania, but away from the loud music, high pricing (of the town center) and embraced by the best owners you can't go wrong! Stelios and Natassa are there to help you with everything (hint, they know every single inch of Crete) as true adventurers and full of Greek hospitality they will happily guide you in some of the most lovely yet unknown places in Crete. If you truly want to experience Crete and discover it's heritage and it's beauty then this is the place to be! Hint, ask for a Cretan breakfast....and then for directions to how you should spend the rest of your day, you won't regret it!read moreread less

The apartment was so charming. It was clean, well decorated and equipped with everything needed. It is well situated…close to Chania but in a quieter location.

Was a great stay, the apartment was very clean and welcoming, with extra handy pieces already in the apartment such as coffee, fruit, detergent, and a bottle of wine! Was a seamless stay, very easy and relaxing. Thank you both for Greta communication from start to finish too.

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.
