Avis

Great, quiet place to stay in Crete. The view from the place is beautiful (I could stare at it all day) and there's plenty of cafés and places to eat nearby.

Hosts were great and communicative and gave us recommendations where to go. Fatastic trip - thanks both!

Stelios and Natasa really care about their guests and it shows! They wre so friendly and helpful. The place is a great place to relax after a day exploring or hanging at the beach. Watch the ships come into the bay from the lovely outdoor patio. Loved it!

If you are looking for a place next to the sea, away from extreme noise yet close to the old city of Chania then this is the place to be!
Beautiful rooms with a true mediterranean atmosphere in a nice village!
The owners are the clue of the apartments, well known travellers with the best knowledge of Crete will guide you to the even the smallest places you are looking for in the magical Island of Greece so make sure you don't hesitate to tell them what you are looking for during your stay!

Stelios and Natasa were extremely welcoming and helpful during my stay. The apartment was clean and spacious. It was calm and relaxing. Would recommend it.

A home from home We loved our stay at Avra apartments and felt at home very quickly. The location was perfect, close enough to walk to everything in Kalyves but also private and peaceful. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed, the bed was super comfy. Natasa was so friendly and welcoming and gave us great recommendations for the local area.

Stelios et sa femme ont été très accueillants, ils nous ont donné de bons conseils sur quoi visiter aux alentours. L'appartement était parfait et exactement comme décrit, l'emplacement très agréable et paisible. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Hands down 5 stars. We loved this little apartment - spent 7 nights there and enjoyed every minute. The terrace is lovely, the kitchen fully equipped, the shower wonderful.
It’s little and it was exactly what we wanted. Perfect. The location is about a 30 minute drive from Chania, which suited us fine - we liked that Kalyves was quiet. Parking is slightly challenging and we were scared of scratching the rental car so we ended up parking down the road in a little free parking lot. Completely recommend this apartment!

Exceptional 😀 - Wspaniały, przestronny , nowoczesny apartament, czysty , dwa razy w ciagu 11 dni pobytu sprzatany , zmieniana posciel i reczniki. Właścicieelka przemiła, w apartamenciee wszystkie udogonienia, w pełni wyposażony. W apartamencie kawa, herbata, wino, lokalny alkohol i miska owoców na przywitanie. Widok na morze z dwoch tarasów

Proche de toutes les commodités, un endroit cocooning Natasia nous a accueilli très chaleureusement Nous avions réservé l’appartement Ostria pour deux personnes La chambre était indépendante et l’espace très grand, la cuisine très bien équipée Un petit balcon extérieur Le tout était bien décoré et très propre, pas loin, à pied, des commerces de Kalyves, de la mer et des restaurants Il y a un parking À recommander

Der Aufenthalt auf Kreta hat uns wirklich, wirklich gut gefallen 🙂 Und ehrlicherweise haben die Gastgeber alles dazu beigetragen!

- Die Kommunikation war stets schnell, freundlich und herzlich
- Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen, mit kleinen "Gastgeschenken" und Aufmerksamkeiten, die es uns ermöglicht haben, sich gleich wohl zu fühlen
- Wir haben viele Tipps und Tricks bekommen, was wir auf Kreta noch unternehmen sollten und wie was funktioniert (z.B. mit Busverbindungen die rausgesucht wurden, etc.).

Zum Airbnb:
- Es ist wirklich alles genau wie auf den Bildern und die Wohnung ist wohnlich und vollumfänglich ausgestattet.
- Es gibt wirklich nichts, was uns gefehlt hat, oder was wir während unseres Aufenthaltes vermisst hätten
- Sehr schöne Lage, mit einem tollen Strand in der Nähe und auch in dem Ort kann man gut herumschlendern
- Die Einfahrt ist etwas schmal - also achtet beim Mietwagen darauf, ein kleines Modell zu nehmen 😉 (reicht aber auf der Insel auch vollkommen aus)

Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt und bedanken uns für den tollen Urlaub bei Euch! DANKE!

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.

We have just returned from our third visit to the Avra Apartments and had a wonderful time with the amazing owners Natasa and Stelios. Their welcome and hospitality is second to none and they really made as feel part of their family.||||I have posted two previous reviews on the Avra so they can be accessed for further information on the Apartments. Suffice it to say they are absolutely beautiful and come highly recommended in every way. We slept wonderfully in the very comfortable king size bed and all the equipment, furniture and fittings are of a very high standard indeed – attention to detail is amazing and the lovely artistic touches give the warmth and comfort of one’s own home. The outlook from our terrace is stunning with a lovely view across Souda Bay.||||If there were more stars to award this property then I would indeed give it far more than five!!! Thank you again Natasa and Stelios – we hope to see you again next year.
