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.

Wir haben uns vom ersten Moment an wohl gefühlt. Die Wohnung hat alles zu bieten, was man braucht. Sie ist liebevoll und modern eingerichtet. Wunderbar ist die Möglichkeit an heißen Tagen, ein schattiges Plätzchen auf einem der Balkone zu finden. Natasa, die Gastgeberin, war sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit. Wir werden noch lange von diesem Urlaub zehren. Klare Weiterempfehlung! Ganz herzlichen Dank.

Loved my stay! The perfect first stop when visiting Crete. Stelios welcomed me when I arrived and showed me the space. Great location, 30 mins from the airport. As a solo female traveller I felt safe here. The apartments are tucked in at the end of a lane very close to the town so it was easy to pop in and out while walking / exploring the local town.
Great A/C , very clean and comfortable.

Adorable place, adorable owners <3 The apartment is huge, clean, well equipped and really very cozy. The view of the sea is fascinating from the terrace and one of the bedroom either.
We were in contact with Natasa during our stay, who is an angel. Helped us in case any questions, added many proposals for trips with a child. Our 4 years daughter also loved the place, the sea, the food, the planty of programs. We spent here our Top 1 summer holiday. Thank you very much for everything!!! Highly recommended!

We spent 2 weeks in this cosy apartment and enjoyed it a lot. Everything was there, even a washing machine - which we did not expect. Natasa was always very helpful und the cleaning service was very sufficient. 2 terraces to choose where to have breakfast or dinner to enjoy the view and sun or shadow. Due to the steep road up to the apartments the parking may not be too easy for beginners, but cars can always be parked at the main street. Overall a highly recommendable location, with everything needed for a relaxing stay and very good and friendly service!

Die Unterkunft ist top. Alles vorhanden was man braucht und sehr sehr sauber. Das nette Vermieterehepaar ist sehr hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und dann nur ein Avra Apartments.

Kalyves ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt um den Westen zu erkunden. Der Ort hat alles, was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht. Supermarkt, gute Tavernen und einen tollen Strand.

Just Perfect! Definitely a unique small family enterprise run by Stelios, Natasa and Anna who immediately greet you with such warmth and friendliness...... already you feel genuinely welcome. The welcome extended also to entering the apartment where you can't help noticing how everything is so exceptionally clean and well thought out. Crockery, cutlery etc all of good quality and condition. A wonderful bowl of fruit, wine and water awaits your arrival. The apartments are situated in a quiet area of Kalyves but close to all amenities with a lovely Patisserie on the corner selling well known homemade cheese and spinach pies and lovely bread. Special memories of sitting on the balcony overlooking the sea watching the little fishing boats and sometimes the cruise ships could be seen making their way to Chania. No need to take binnoculars - these are also provided for your use. Do hope every visitor to the apartments enjoy as we did - 'JUST PERFECT!
