Stelios was a wonderful host! The apartment looks newly renovated (or even just built)! Stelios was kind enough to leave us some fruits, water and bread. The kitchen is perfect to make meals! The apartment is located in Kalyves, which is a more family friendly area. The beach is a short walk away. I highly recommend Kritiko (restaurant near the center of Kalyves), the food was amazing!
Stelios was very helpful when we had any questions and he helped us arrange a taxi for our midnight flight arrival. Our driver was even kind enough to drop off our bags at the apartment and then take us to look for food past midnight! My boyfriend loved the gyros from simon's (fast food joint).

Chania is a short 20 mins drive. And the beautiful beach, Elafonassi is around 1.5hrs away.
Thank you for the wonderful stay, Stelios!

Super séjour dans l'appartement loué par Stelios.
Appartement parfaitement propre et équipé avec tout le nécessaire. Très jolie décoration, et au calme avec une vue sur la mer depuis la terrasse.
A proximité du village de Kalyves tout en étant au calme, super bien placé pour visiter l'ouest de la Crete avec une voiture.
Nous recommandons ce logement et y reviendrons avec plaisir si nous revenons en Crete !

Stelios et Natasa ont fait de leur logement un petit cocon où il fait bon vivre. Il est parfaitement équipé de tout le confort que vous souhaitez et il est merveilleusement décoré, il ne manque rien.
Il est bien situé, à quelques centaines de mètres des plages, du supermarché et du village.
N’oublions pas, la mention spéciale pour l’accueil chaleureux de nos hôtes et de leurs délicates attentions durant tout le séjour.
Merci pour ce merveilleux séjour!

Super airbnb, ultra confortable et propre. Les propriétaires sont au petit soin, nous sommes venus avec notre fille de moins de 2 ans et il y avait tous les équipements nécessaires (chaise bébé, baignoire, lit parapluie et même les ustensiles pour manger) Stellos a ramené également quelques jeux et et sa femme est venu protéger le balcon. Un ménage est effectué également durant le séjour, on se sent vraiment comme chez soi. La literie est confortable aussi, nous recommandons vivement !

5 star ratingOne of the Best in Greece We have just returned from our second visit to the Avra Apartments. Our heartfelt thanks go to Natasa, Stelios and Anna – our lovely hosts who have become our dear friends. We stayed in the Levantes Studio which is absolutely beautiful. It is equipped with everything you could need for a self-catering holiday – plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and nice crockery. There are lovely imaginative touches as Natasa is very artistic.

When we arrived Natasa had left a bottle of wine and rakki, together with a bowl of fruit for us. A coffee machine was also supplied together with a sandwich toaster and also washing up liquid, dishcloth, mosquito machine, a roll of paper towels and washing powder. We had a comfortable king-size bed with duvet and air con was included in the price. We had a large terrace overlooking Souda Bay with table, chairs, bench and large umbrella. Down a few steps was another patio area with a bench. The bathroom was also beautiful having been recently updated with luxurious fittings. Lovely white towels were supplied which were changed every two days and if you forget your beach towels, Natasa will supply them free of charge.

I could go on and on extolling the virtues of the Avra but the review would be too long. Thank you again Natasa, Stelios and Anna we love you guys!!!

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.

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.
