Very friendly hosts (nothing was too much effort) who gave us a lovely welcome and made us feel relaxed. Lovely atmosphere, cosy clean rooms.. couldn't have asked for any better.

Stelios und Natasa sind hervorragende Gastgeber. Die beiden sind super nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Das Apartment ist meiner Meinung nach in natura noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Wir haben uns sofort total wohlgefühlt und sind total glücklich diese Unterkunft gefunden zu haben. Das persönliche Highlight war für uns der bestens ausgestattete Grill! 🙂 Wir kommen sehr gern wieder!

Great place with ocean view from the balcony. Super quiet just at the end of the tiny but cosy village.
Stelios was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!

It was a pleasure to stay at Stelios AirBnB. It was an amazing time and the small city Kalyves had its own amazing vibe in contrast to other cities around. The AirBnb had everything you need and stelios has been every day around so you could ask him if there is anything you need. I would recommend this place for everyone who want to have a nice time on crete with a special airbnb.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Natasa and Stelios’ air bnb! They went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay not only at the apartment, but also visiting Crete for the first time. Natasa went out of her way to welcome us the first night, as well as send recommendations for sights, restaurants, and a running trail beyond what was already shared on the listing. The hospitality and friendliness were unmatched 😊I can’t recommend this air bnb enough to other travelers looking for a private, peaceful space to retreat to while exploring Crete. Thank you so much to Natasa and Stelios!

One of the best places we have stayed at. Stelios and his wife, Natasa, are wonderful. They went above and beyond any host. The apartment was in immaculate condition. We quickly felt right at home. Our apartment was fully updated with very nice finishes. I highly recommend this apartment. They will treat you like family.

A lovely apartment and location. Newly remodeled, the apartment was very nicely furnished and appointed. We began each morning with coffee and a great view of the sea. Our hosts were attentive and very friendly. Restaurants, butchers and grocers all an easy walk away. Receives my highest recommendation!

5 star ratingAbsolutely exceptional! The hosts Natasa and Stellios were absolutely lovely! The location was a dream, view over the Mediterranean sea and within walking distance to gorgeous beaches and good restaurants. The place was extremely clean. The apartment are beautifully decorated with artistic personal touches of some lovely pictures. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and have a very modern elegant touch. Airconditioning gives great relief from heat when you need it. Fresh bedcolths toilet paper and towels were changed every two days. What I personally also liked very much was that the hosts are environmental orientated, and make it easy for any guest to recycle plastics, and is discreetly evident through tge provided recycling bags and the clean linen bags for shopping. On arrival we were greeted in an exceptionally friendly and forthcoming manner. Also a lovely bottle of vine and Raki was also part of the generous welcome. When we sadly had to leave we were given a beautiful hand painted goodbye present! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful scenic and relaxed place to stay. Perfect for couples and families with kids. Absolutely exceptional!

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.
