Avis

I stayed for 10 days with my boyfriend and i found this place to be full of rustic charm. It was delightful to walk about and the scenery just took my breath away, with mountains either side of you while sunbathing or having a swim right on your doorstep. I Loved All the little shops with hand made gifts and clothing. And how it felt like time really doesn't matter in Crete, I felt relaxed and quite safe in this lovely village . I would strongly recommend kalyves.

We had a lovely stay at this apartment! The view is beautiful and you have everything you need in walking distance. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are going to Crete.

What a lovely apartment right up the road from the sea, up on a hill with a gorgeous view, surrounded by flowers and trees. It was an oasis and yet close to everything you may need in the area, with a bakery at the foot of the hill. Moreover, the hosts were so wonderfully attentive, made sure I had all I needed, with a familial warm. I hope to one day return and would recommend this place to anyone visiting the region and who wants to be close to Chania but also away from the crowds and traffic. Wonderful stay overall!

Great appartment in a great small village!
Very comfortable and fun place to stay. Close to the beach, market and everything else around.

We whould love to come again!!

Thank you

Spacious and fully equipped appartement with a great sea view. Stelios and Natasa were lovely hosts.

The apartments are in a very quiet position tucked into the natural hillside with great sea views. We loved the two terraces for our apartment, with sun in the afternoon (Levantes). The apartment had everything you could want. The access drive is quite narrow and steep but with level parking by the door. 10 min walk either way to 2 beaches and a range of great restaurants. Kalives is a great find! The book of local walks provided was excellent and we enjoyed exploring the local area. Stelios and Natasa were very friendly and helpful. We would go back.

Lovely family, Stelios & Natasa are lovely hosts as is Anna. They go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Would definitely recommend to people. Room's were clean and well equipped with free WiFi. A welcoming gift of fresh fruit and Raki on the dining table when we arrived.

Tips for other travellers: Lots of parking on the beach road at busy times. Plenty of supermarket's if you wish to self cater or large choice of tavernas and coffee bars. Very near to the beach.

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.

I've traveled to Greece many years in a row now and although visiting Crete was my first time this was by far the best accommodation I've ever stayed at. Amazing place to stay and couldn't recommend any better.

Απολαύσαμε πραγματικά τη διαμονή μας στο διαμέρισμα του Στέλιου και της Νατάς. Η τοποθεσία και η θέα είναι εκπληκτικά, το διαμέρισμα είναι εξοπλισμένο με όλα όσα χρειάζεστε και ο Stelio και η Natasa είναι εξαιρετικοί και φιλικοί οικοδεσπότες. Σίγουρα θα σκεφτόμασταν να επιστρέψουμε, αν επισκεφτούμε ξανά την Κρήτη. ☺️

We‘ve just spent 6 days at one of the wonderful Avra Apartments. Everything was perfect, such a nice apartment, peaceful up a little hill with everything provided you could think of. Moreover, Natasa and Stelio were super nice and would surely have helped with anything, only there was absolutely nothing missing or not working, so we didn’t need any support. Lovely vacation, would return in a heartbeat!

Τέλεια δωμάτια!
