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!

I stayed for 10 days with my boyfriend and i found this place to be full of rustic charm. It was delightful to walk about and the scenery just took my breath away, with mountains either side of you while sunbathing or having a swim right on your doorstep. I Loved All the little shops with hand made gifts and clothing. And how it felt like time really doesn't matter in Crete, I felt relaxed and quite safe in this lovely village . I would strongly recommend kalyves.

We had a perfect family holiday staying at Avra apartments. From the wonderful warm welcome with Anna (at midnight!) to all the advice, tips, and small touches from Stelios and Natasa really made our daughters first holiday even better than we could have hoped it would be! We are all very sad to leave but had the best time!

Liebe Natasa, liebe Ana,
ihr habt uns so herzlich begrüsst, eure Appartments sind genial. Wir haben uns unglaublich wohl gefühlt. Der kurze Spaziergang zum wunderschönen Strand hat unsere Tage bereichert. Liebevoll habt ihr das Appartment eingerichtet, so dass wir die Tage und die Abende sehr geniessen konnten. Eure persönliche Betreuung - nie war euch eine Frage zuviel - war für uns ein grosser Pluspunkt in unserem Erholungsurlaub. Danke!!!

One of the best places we have stayed at. Stelios and his wife, Natasa, are wonderful. They went above and beyond any host. The apartment was in immaculate condition. We quickly felt right at home. Our apartment was fully updated with very nice finishes. I highly recommend this apartment. They will treat you like family.

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.

Stelios Apartment is great as starting point to experience the western part of Crete! A rental car helps to get around Chania area.
Stelios is a great host and the communication was very good!
