Stelios was an excellent host. Very responsive and helpful, particularly in my situation as I missed my flight and arrived very late. He was extremely accommodating. The apartment was exactly as pictured and described. Great air conditioning above the bed and excellent wifi strength. I used the washing machine which was very helpful. Glad I had a smaller car rental (MB A-Class hatchback) which made parking very easy. I would easily pick this apartment again. Good central place for my stay on Crete.

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!

The AVRA apartment is one of the best Airbnb we have ever stayed. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. Great ocean view from the kitchen and balcony. Fully equipped kitchen. Walking distance to beaches, supermarket and restaurant. We wish we could stay longer.

Assolutamente consigliato!

We had rainy and sunny days and for both weather the appartement is perfect. Stelios gave us excellent advise for walking in the mountain area and beautiful beaches as well as lively cities you can find in both directions of the national road within 30 min by car. Also for hiking e.g. in Vamous the location is perfect.

We loved to relax in the evening on the terrace of Levantes looking to the sea and to have a quite neighborhood for sleeping.

Service was outstanding, the appartement very clean and fully equipped. With regard the friendliness of Stelios and Natasa we would if possible give six stars!

Bests, F&J

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.

Merci à Stelios pour son accueil, sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Kalyves, petite station balnéaire reposante. L’appartement est conforme à nos attentes et très bien équipé.
Il est également bien situé et permet de rayonner facilement pour visiter cette partie de l’île.

5 star ratingWhat a fabulous place to stay! The accommodation is modern and clean with excellent cooking facilities. There's lots of space with a separate lounge and dining area. We stayed in the Ostria apartment which is towards the back of the complex but it had a cosy seating area with side sea views. The hosts Natasa and Anna were so helpful and kind. Many nice touches here such as the provision of honey raki and nuts on arrival. The walk up to the apartment is a little steep towards the end but you get used to it.

The apartment is about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Kalyves which is a working Cretan town with a good range of small shops, a couple of bakeries and a few mini markets. The bus service from Chania is reliable and fairly regular. There's lots of decent places to eat.

There's a good supply of guide books provided with local walks. Don't miss out on visiting Vamos, Gavalohori and Koumos. The first two can be reached by bus from Kalyves and the latter is a simple walk away.

Exceptional 😀 - What an incredible apartment, with everything you need and a great location between 2 beautiful beaches. The host Stelios was extremely accommodating and was always on hand when we needed him. He really helped us to plan our next route through Greece. Thanks for a great stay- we definitely recommend staying here!!!!!
