Stelios was an excellent host. Very responsive and helpful, particularly in my situation as I missed my flight and arrived very late. He was extremely accommodating. The apartment was exactly as pictured and described. Great air conditioning above the bed and excellent wifi strength. I used the washing machine which was very helpful. Glad I had a smaller car rental (MB A-Class hatchback) which made parking very easy. I would easily pick this apartment again. Good central place for my stay on Crete.

Das Apartment ist sehr geschmackvoll und modern renoviert. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet. Der Wohnbereich und die 2 Schlafzimmer sind offen, hell und gemütlich. Das Meer ist von allen 3 Balkonen aus zu sehen. Die Einkaufslage im Ort ist komfortabel, einer von mehreren Stränden in 3 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Besonders gefallen haben uns die Wanderungen in der direkten Umgebung, die Täler sind traumhaft. Die Vermieterinnen sind äußerst hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

We have a great stay at Kalyves! Natasa was extremely friendly and met us at the airbnb, she gave us amazing recommendations and great directions to the airbnb. We had a beautiful view from the outside terrace of the water. The place was extremely clean and had all the amenities you need. It’s walking distance to the town of Kalyves and only a 20 mins drive to Chania. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this to anyone coming to stay here!

Our stay in Kalyves was wonderful. The apartment was everything we expected...very nice. Stelios and Natasha were very responsive; attentive without being intrusive, very helpful and accommodating. There is parking which is a great plus. The bed was very comfortable. We would gladly stay there again. Thank you so much.

We found your apartments, hospitality, and welcome to be exceptional. We also saw just how much hard work you put into keeping the apartments so lovely.

We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Apartments are exceptionally clean and well kept, in a lovely location, just a short walk to the centre of Kalyves.

5 star ratingLovely Greek welcome and excellently appointed apartment Stellios, Natasha and their respective parents were so lovely and welcoming. We felt at home from the minute we arrived. We only stayed the one night, but they kindly allowed us to stay on until late afternoon without seeking any extra payment, for which we were very grateful as our flight wasn't until the evening. Apartment was huge, modern, tastefully decorated, superbly appointed inc sattelite TV, and all the kitchen gadgets you need. Also, very efficient and quiet air conditioning, plus a large bathroom with a good shower. The apartment is in a quiet residential side street about 10 mins stroll to the centre of Kalives and same to the nearest sandy beach. Nearest restaurant is 5 mins away. We didn't have much of a sea view from our small terrace (we stayed in Osteria) as we were on ground floor and at rear, but looking at some of the other apartments, the ones on the side and front must have superb views of both mountains and sea.

Stelios og Natasas lejlighed var fantastisk at bo i! Skøn udsigt, hyggelig og smuk indretning og en rolig landsby med gode spisesteder og to dejlige sandstrande tæt på. Vi følte os meget velkomne og ville elske at komme tilbage!

Fantastisk sted i rolige omgivelser ! 😀 - Lille roligt lejlighedskompleks beliggende midt mellem de to gode strande i Kalyves. Værterne Natasa og Stelios er utroligt søde og gode til at give relevante informationer. Pænt og rent, og utroligt veludstyrede lejligheder, der mangler intet. 😞 - Intet

5 star ratingVery happy As others have said, everyone at Avra Apartments is very helpful with nothing we asked for too much trouble. On arrival, Levantes seemed smaller than I imagined from the pictures but it did not feel cramped at all for the two of us for a week. The location was ideal with everything in easy walking distance but also out of the centre enough to be peaceful. The hillside behind was full of spring flowers and happy birds so we could sit enjoying this, as well as the sea views and distant hills.

Saubere Wohnung mit Meerblick 😀 - Die Wohnung selbst, sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet, die Terrasse vor der Wohnung mit seitlichem Meerblick. 😞 - Beengte Parkmöglichkeiten vor der Wohnung, Beengte Sitzmöglichkeiten in der Küche. Parkplatz auf dem Nachbargrundstück direkt unterhalb unserer Terrasse, auf dem täglich die Fahrzeuge einer Mietwagenfirma abgestellt und abgeholt wurden und mit entsprechendem Lärm verbunden war.
