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!!!

Η Νατάσα και ο Στέλιος σ 'ευχαριστώ πολύ για το ΘΕΡΜΌ καλωσόρισμα ❤😊 Το τζάκι ήταν υπέροχο και χρήσιμο! Το διαμέρισμα είναι όμορφο και άνετο και μας άρεσε πολύ να επιστρέφουμε στο σπίτι μετά από μια κουραστική μέρα εργασίας. Συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα αυτό το μέρος όλες τις εποχές!

La joie de poser ses valises en Crète pour la première fois et d'y être dans un si joli contexte. Très sympathiquement accueillis sur les lieux avec nos deux enfants, nous avons eu le bonheur de découvrir le vaste appartement avec grande terrasse (et vue merveilleuse sur la baie de Kalyves) qui allait devenir notre maison pour trois jours. ||Une bouteille de raki nous attendait, ainsi que du vin - la générosité crétoise ! ||Lieu parfait pour naviguer d'est en ouest aux alentours - ne surtout pas manquer la crique d'Ombrosgialos !||Nous reviendrons avec un immense plaisir et recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit en tous points superbe tenu par des gens adorables (un gros bisou à bébé Johanna en passant)

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.

From the moment you step in you feel most welcomed as you will discover fresh fruits on the table, and cold water and raki in the refrigerator 🙂 ||This comfortable, clean and cozy place is ideal for a family. Stelios and Natasa, the owners, are always happy to help you with tips and recommendations for things to do in Crete. It's always a pleasure to stay at Avra. We'll be back soon!

Stelios and Natasa were very nice hosts-friendly, welcoming, helpful.

Apartment had 2 lovely balconies, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and good bathroom, and was super-clean.

Well-sited for beaches, restaurants, supermarket etc;

We had a very nice time there, and would recommend.
Tips for other travellers
Both beaches are good for swimming. Plenty of local circular walks. The walks to Armeni, and to the Koiliairis river and old Venetian windmill were particularly good.

Plenty of good tavernas to choose from.

Very clean and well equipped appartment with many little friendly details.
The host even supported us with a problem of a barking dog at night.
They are very friendly and want you to have a great vacation.
Highly recommended!
