Very nice, well equipped apartment with lovely balcony with sea view. Beautiful village, large beach 😀 - The host waited for us when we arrived and showed us in to the apartment. She was very helpful and gave us suggestions on places to visit and tavernas which were very good.

Stelios and Natasa really care about their guests and it shows! They wre so friendly and helpful. The place is a great place to relax after a day exploring or hanging at the beach. Watch the ships come into the bay from the lovely outdoor patio. Loved it!

Πραγματικά μοναδικό, φιλόξενο, κοντά στα Χανιά, σε ένα πολύ όμορφο χωριό με υπέροχους ιδιοκτήτες, και το πιο σημαντικό για μένα είναι πάρα πολύ καθαρό.... Μπράβο Στέλιο και Χριστίνα! !!!

Amazing week in Kalyves 😀 - Avra apartments is located in a quiet area between two beaches (10 minutes walk). The apartment was specious, very well equipped with a comfortable bed, 2 air-conditionings (one in bedroom and second in the leaving room), kitchen with lots of devices (coffee machine, toaster, owen etc). When we arrived late in the evening the host was waiting for us with warm welcome, there was mineral water in the fridge, fresh fruits and a bottle of great wine (small things but so nice). The hosts care about the guests so the atmosphere is so nice, I highly recommend Avra aparments and Kalyves town. We are going to come back her for next vacation. 😞 - Nothing to complain, all perfect. Even better than we expected.

Είχαμε την ευκαιρία να απολαύσουμε την διαμονή μας στα συγκεκριμένα διαμερίσματα! Προσφάτως ανακαινισμένα, με τους ιδιοκτήτες να έχουν βάλει την προσωπική τους πινελιά στην διακόσμηση, η οποία ξεφεύγει από τις κοινότυπες περιπτώσεις δωματίων θερινής διαμονής! ||Πέρα από τα όμορφα δωμάτια, εκείνο που μας έκανε πολύ θετική εντύπωση ήταν η φιλική συμπεριφορά των ιδιοκτητών και η διάθεσή τους να μας εξυπηρετήσουν σε ότι τους ζητήσαμε! Αν και έχω πάει αρκετές φορές στην Κρήτη, οι πληροφορίες που μας έδωσαν για τα αξιοθέατα του νησιού ήταν τόσο αναλυτικές, γεγονός που σε έκανε να νιώσεις πως δεν έχεις δει τίποτα! :)||Το δωμάτιό μας ήταν καθαρό, ευρύχωρο με καλό γούστο στην διακόσμηση, διέθετε κλιματισμό, tv, κουζίνα, ψυγείο και μια εκπληκτική θέα στην θάλασσα, η οποία απείχε μερικές μόνο δεκάδες μέτρα.||Το χωριό Καλύβες, διέθετε ότι χρειαζόμασταν από εστιατόρια, σουπερ μαρκετ, κτλ, όποτε εξυπηρετηθήκαμε άνετα. Βρίσκεται κοντά σχετικά στα Χανιά, με το πλεονέκτημα της δυνατότητας να μπορέσαμε να αποφύγουμε την πολυκοσμία και την φασαρία της πόλης, ενώ είμασταν αρκετά κοντά στο να την επισκεπτόμαστε όποτε επιθυμούσαμε.||Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!!!

We stayed at Agra Apartments in Kalyves for a week in June 2021, and we couldn’t have been happier. Everything was exactly as we had hoped for, the apartment was spacious (even more than it looks in pictures!). The view was absolutely stunning.

Stelios and Natasa were very kind and helpful hosts, that made sure we were comfortable. They were always easy to talk to and reach on text, and Natasa gave us some really nice suggestions for places to go that we are grateful for.

Kalyves was a perfect town to stay at for us, as we were driving to see different cities, beaches and areas around Crete. It was just far enough away from Chania to feel super authentic and secluded as a tourist, but close enough to visit in a short time.

All in all we were extremely satisfied with our stay at Avra Apartments, and we recommend anyone visiting Crete to go there too! ❤️

Excellent help and support from Natasha and Anna.

I recommend Avra apartments.

Tips: Kalyves is a lovely quite village with many lovely attractions, walks and restaurants. For me the best restaurant serving tasty local cuisine it the Icarus which is 15 minute walk from Avra.

We spent 2 weeks in this cosy apartment and enjoyed it a lot. Everything was there, even a washing machine - which we did not expect. Natasa was always very helpful und the cleaning service was very sufficient. 2 terraces to choose where to have breakfast or dinner to enjoy the view and sun or shadow. Due to the steep road up to the apartments the parking may not be too easy for beginners, but cars can always be parked at the main street. Overall a highly recommendable location, with everything needed for a relaxing stay and very good and friendly service!

A lovely place in Kalyves, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of Chania. The apartment had everything we needed and Natasa was super friendly and communicative, and gave us local recommendations 🙂 Would love to come back for a longer period!

Wizyta sierpień 2021. Super czysto, co 4 dni było sprzątane, wymieniane prześcieradła i ręczniki. Właściciele przemili. Żadnych ukrytych opłat. Klimatyzacja w cenie. Dałbym 6 gwiazdek, ponieważ po raz pierwszy spotkaliśmy się z tak ciepłym przyjęciem i mega czystym apartamentem. Poza tym wszędzie blisko i cicho, tylko te cykady.... Styczeń 2022 Dostaliśmy kartkę świąteczną, jesteśmy w szoku. Tyle już podróżujemy i po raz pierwszy się z tym spotkaliśmy. Bardzo miły gest.
