Stelios was a wonderful host! The apartment looks newly renovated (or even just built)! Stelios was kind enough to leave us some fruits, water and bread. The kitchen is perfect to make meals! The apartment is located in Kalyves, which is a more family friendly area. The beach is a short walk away. I highly recommend Kritiko (restaurant near the center of Kalyves), the food was amazing!
Stelios was very helpful when we had any questions and he helped us arrange a taxi for our midnight flight arrival. Our driver was even kind enough to drop off our bags at the apartment and then take us to look for food past midnight! My boyfriend loved the gyros from simon's (fast food joint).
Chania is a short 20 mins drive. And the beautiful beach, Elafonassi is around 1.5hrs away.
Thank you for the wonderful stay, Stelios!

Excellent help and support from Natasha and Anna.
I recommend Avra apartments.
Tips: Kalyves is a lovely quite village with many lovely attractions, walks and restaurants. For me the best restaurant serving tasty local cuisine it the Icarus which is 15 minute walk from Avra.

I would like to be a writer to find the right words to express how amazing our experience was.
Stylianos and Natasa are wonderful hosts and they have refurbished and furnished the apartments in a classy and functional way, providing customers with everything they need to enjoy their time.
The facilities are located perfectly, blessed with a wonderful view of the coast, and close to local restaurants and shops that allow customers to enjoy an authentic experience of Crete.
We can't wait to come back and spend more time here.
Thank you a lot for your amazing hospitality!

Stayed at Avra Apartments during Christmas 2021 whilst house searching in the local area. We wasn't originally supposed to be staying here but we had a bad experience at an another Air B&B so abandoned that one and found Avra Apartments last minute, a couple of days before Christmas. Natasa and the hosts were absolutely fantastic, we informed them of our poor experience at the other apartment, and they had the heating ready for us to arrive. We spent up to New years Eve there, and Natasa was great asking how we were getting on and recommending her favourite restaurants open out of season as well as the gifts of wine, fruit and treats. There is a fantastic cake bakery at the bottom of the drive that we use all the time when in Kalyves. Apartments are great size and modern. The location is great and easy to walk into town. Some parking spaces are available, but if not, parking is available nearby. The TV had Netflix installed so we could plug into our account during the evenings. We're very grateful to Avra for their hospitality.

Wizyta sierpień 2021. Super czysto, co 4 dni było sprzątane, wymieniane prześcieradła i ręczniki. Właściciele przemili. Żadnych ukrytych opłat. Klimatyzacja w cenie. Dałbym 6 gwiazdek, ponieważ po raz pierwszy spotkaliśmy się z tak ciepłym przyjęciem i mega czystym apartamentem. Poza tym wszędzie blisko i cicho, tylko te cykady.... Styczeń 2022 Dostaliśmy kartkę świąteczną, jesteśmy w szoku. Tyle już podróżujemy i po raz pierwszy się z tym spotkaliśmy. Bardzo miły gest.
