We really enjoyed our stay at the Avra Apartments! The apartment we stayed in was immaculate and was really well-located for exploring the eastern and central parts of Crete. In addition, the owner/host (Stelios) of the apartment was really nice and had some great advice for exploring the various places we were planning to visit. If you’re looking for a great home base to explore Crete, we highly recommend staying at the Avra Apartments!

The appartement is beautiful. Perfect for a Pair. And also the host was so friendly and gave us tips what we can do in the surrounding area.
Tip: In the west of Kalyves there is the Café Delight, which very idyllic and romantic for pairs. It‘s directly at the sea and there are small tables at the beach wall

This was a great stay in close proximity to Chania! The host Natasa took incredibly good care of us. The apartment is large, cozy, very clean and beautifully furnished with attention to detail. You can see the sea from the balcony. There were more than enough kitchen utensils and even tea and coffee in the apartment. The apartment is in a wonderfully quiet location, but you can be in town and on the beach very quickly. There is plenty of free parking along the street. WiFi worked well everywhere.
Thank you for everything, we would definitely come back!

🌟 Fantastiskt boende – varmt rekommenderas! Jag hade en underbar vistelse på detta boende. Rummet var fräscht, välstädat och mycket bekvämt, med allt jag behövde för en avkopplande semester. Läget var perfekt – lugnt men ändå nära till restauranger och sevärdheter. Värden var otroligt gästvänlig och hjälpsam, och gav oss många bra tips om området. Det märks verkligen att de bryr sig om sina gäster. Jag skulle utan tvekan boka detta boende igen nästa gång jag är i området!

Natasa and Stelios’ apartment is fantastic! It is clean, has all the necessary amenities and in a great location. Ten minute walk from the beaches and five minute walk from some great family run tavernas! The hosts were also extremely proactive and responsive. We would highly recommend staying here while in Crete!

The place was so beautiful and clean. The sea view was amazing. The entire house smelled so nice and had a very good style which I loved. It is spacious and cozy. The area was perfect for me. Peaceful but not boring. The way up to the house was a little steep but for me it was added to the character of it. Natasha is incredibly nice and communicative. The balconies were so cute and comfortable. It really was perfect.

The apartment was so charming. It was clean, well decorated and equipped with everything needed. It is well situated…close to Chania but in a quieter location.

Dear Stelios and Natasa, thank you for our fabulous stay! What a well designed, spacious, modern, well equipped apartment . The bed was super comfortable, it had a brilliant shower and everything you would need should you choose to cook. Located a short walk from the village and even shorter walk to two of our favourite places, Cactus for breakfast and Delight for morning excellent coffee or cocktails later in the day. The apartment had games and walking guides books. Thank you for the fruit, it was a lovely welcome and the offer of beach towels was very much appreciated. We were coming from another airbnb apartment and whilst not enquiring about an earlier check in we wondered if it would be possible to store our cold items until check in. I got the impression that if there was any way they could help with they would and they did. Thank you both, we really appreciated it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. A little gem 💎 of a place.

We spent a week in the apartment from Natasa and stelios and we had such a great time there. The apartment was very clean and beautifully decorated. we felt very comfortable. Kalyves is a lovely village and the Restaurants there have great food for a really good price. The beach which is 10min by foot from the airbnb is very calm. Especially in the evening hours we enjoyed spending some time at the beach. If we had questions, Natasa and stelios could always help us.
