We (3) enjoyed our stay a lot, also because of the beautiful apartment, the interior is modern, cozy and very nice and well-divided for 3-4 persons.
the views are excellent, so is the service (cleaning, warm welcome etc.). the kitchen is also very well-euqipped so no problem to cook and have meals at home.
we stayed in early november and also enjoyed the chimney 😉
Tips for other travellers
it´s an excellent home base for all short & long trips to Crete, especially in the eastern part (eg. Chania, Elafonisi, etc.); many restaurants etc. around, also directly in Kalyves, a nice beach is in walking distance, plus there´s a Almyrida just around the corner.

Exceptional Comfortable apartment.very well equipped. Good mattress and pillows. Owned by lovely helpful family. Kalyves is a low key resort with good beaches and excellent tavernas and country walks along quiet roads and tracks.
Only small negative. On a short steepish hill. No problem if you are reasonably fit.

Οι οικοδεσπότες ήταν πάρα πολύ συμπαθητικοί! Περάσαμε τέλειες μέρες κοντά στη θάλασσα, με όλη την βοήθεια πιθανή!

Το διαμέρισμα Avra Apartment στις Καλύβες ήταν πάρα πολύ καλό,καθαρό,άνετο με μια όμορφη βεράντα σε μια ήσυχη γειτονία.Καθόλη την διάρκεια της παραμονής μας δεν μας έλειψε απολύτως τίποτα!Οι οικοδεσπότες ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετικοί και πάντα πρόθυμοι να βοηθήσουν σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε μας έδωσαν ακόμα και πληροφοριές για φαγητό και για διάφορες δραστηριότητες.Περάσαμε ένα πολυ όμορφο και χαλαρό τριήμερο!

Fabulous 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.read moreread less

Stayed in 2 bed apartment Altemi. So incredibly comfortable and well-designed. Super well-equipped kitchen, cushioned reclining chairs on the balcony and great beds. Natasa was lovely, gave us beach towels, fruit, wine and raki. Downstairs there were books and beach things to borrow. Thoroughly recommend and would definitely come back.

Loved my stay! The perfect first stop when visiting Crete. Stelios welcomed me when I arrived and showed me the space. Great location, 30 mins from the airport. As a solo female traveller I felt safe here. The apartments are tucked in at the end of a lane very close to the town so it was easy to pop in and out while walking / exploring the local town.
Great A/C , very clean and comfortable.

Tout était parfait, le logement, l'emplacement et les hôtes très sympathiques et disponible.
Nous recommandons fortement. Si tout les logements pouvaient être aussi irréprochable se serait parfait.
