5 star ratingFabulous view We stayed at Avra (also known as Breezes) Apts in the top rooms (Siroko). The view was amazing, the bed was the most comfortable I've slept in in Greece, soft pillows, free with fi, air con, satellite TV,combination safe, full size cooker with oven, washing machine, brand name hairdryer and lots of other useful items too numerous to mention. 3 balconies on total.One very large overlooking the sea,one to the side catching the late afternoon sun and a third, smaller, for the washing.Anna the owner, and Natasa, were both very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us.Avra is about 15 mins slow walk to the nearest taverna (Akrigialos) - walk along the sea road,it's safer, and about 20-25 mins stroll to the far end of the village.The good news is, Anna's neighbour is a taxi driver and if you ask her she will organise a lift for you. (5 euros to the far end of the village.No price increase after midnight)The only downside was the fairly steep narrow road to the apartment.

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt bei Stelios und Natasa. Natasa war immer sehr freundlich und half uns bei allen Angelegenheiten und ging sehr auf alle unseren Bedürfnisse ein. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und genau wie auf den Bildern. Besonders gefiel uns die Waschmaschine und Wäscheständer die in der Wohnung integriert waren und wir aßen viele Mahlzeiten auf dem süßen Balkon.
Aufgrund der Lage von Bushaltestellen könnte man ein Auto brauchen um die Gegend zu erkunden, das war aber kein Problem für uns, da wir sowieso viel entdecken wollten und flexibel sein wollten und wir bekamen gute Tipps.
Unsere Zeit hier war sehr schön und man hatte alles was man sich wünschen könnte. Danke für die Fürsorge und die Unterstützung!!

5 star ratingQuel bonheur ! La joie de poser ses valises en Crète pour la première fois et d'y être dans un si joli contexte. Très sympathiquement accueillis sur les lieux avec nos deux enfants, nous avons eu le bonheur de découvrir le vaste appartement avec grande terrasse (et vue merveilleuse sur la baie de Kalyves) qui allait devenir notre maison pour trois jours.
Une bouteille de raki nous attendait, ainsi que du vin - la générosité crétoise !
Lieu parfait pour naviguer d'est en ouest aux alentours - ne surtout pas manquer la crique d'Ombrosgialos !
Nous reviendrons avec un immense plaisir et recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit en tous points superbe tenu par des gens adorables (un gros bisou à bébé Johanna en passant)

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.

Η Νατάσα και ο Στέλιος σ 'ευχαριστώ πολύ για το ΘΕΡΜΌ καλωσόρισμα ❤😊 Το τζάκι ήταν υπέροχο και χρήσιμο! Το διαμέρισμα είναι όμορφο και άνετο και μας άρεσε πολύ να επιστρέφουμε στο σπίτι μετά από μια κουραστική μέρα εργασίας. Συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα αυτό το μέρος όλες τις εποχές!

Communication with Natasa was uncomplicated and always quick response to question. She was there when needed, but left enough privacy, which we really appreciated.

The kitchen was very well equipped and there was also a bottle of wine and raki waiting as a welcome gift. There was also a wonderful farewell gift as a memento. Thank you for all this.

Every 4 days the flat was cleaned very clean.

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.

We spent one week on Crete but we were sad that we spent only one night in Avra apartments. Everything was really the best! We can only recommend!

Tip: Kalyves is small but nice city with the best accommodation in Crete - Avra apartments. Everything was absolutelly super. And people who take care about this apartment are also super! They recommend us also good restaurants. One was really super, Provlita tavern! Very nice and very good meals!
