We had rainy and sunny days and for both weather the appartement is perfect. Stelios gave us excellent advise for walking in the mountain area and beautiful beaches as well as lively cities you can find in both directions of the national road within 30 min by car. Also for hiking e.g. in Vamous the location is perfect.

We loved to relax in the evening on the terrace of Levantes looking to the sea and to have a quite neighborhood for sleeping.

Service was outstanding, the appartement very clean and fully equipped. With regard the friendliness of Stelios and Natasa we would if possible give six stars!

Bests, F&J

The avra apartments are spotlessly clean and have all you need for a great stay in Kalyves. We were greeted to exchange the key and got some great local tips of restaurants in Kalyves and Chania. Friendly area and the beautiful beaches are about 10minute walk. We hope to return in the years to come to enjoy exploring more of Crete. We loved the little outdoor area also for home cooked dinners and relaxing in the evening.

Feeling home away in beautiful Crete 😀 - Very helpful owners, size of the apartment, individual terrace with sea view and a washing machine for our mid-holiday needs. We had a perfect stay that helped us discovering a new to us region. Natasa was very helpful. In Kalyves we could also recommend the restaurant Mythos, were we had several great and affordable dinners. 😞 - Nothing.

This was by far my best airbnb experience!

The house is beautiful, spacious, sparkling clean and had all the equipment you can imagine. Every little detail is well thought out to make you feel at home.

Stalios and his wife helped us with everything we needed and were very nice and communicative.

The house is conveniently located in Kalyves, a small village close to Chania and surrounded by many other beautiful locations to visit.

Thank you for everything : )

We had an amazing stay!. After travelling for a while and being on the go a lot it was the perfect spot to just relax. Definitely recommend renting a car as there’s not much in the area itself but that wasn’t an issue for us. Lovely kitchen that was fully equipped with everything you need to make a nice homemade dinner. The view from the outside sitting area was really nice. Hosts were so so helpful and responsive. I would definitely book again and would recommend staying here!

Fabulous stay at Stelios & Natasa’s! They were both very kind and helpful. There were plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. We also loved the balcony in the apartment. We would certainly recommend this Airbnb to anyone staying in Kalyves!

Wir waren einige Tage im Juni bei Stelios und Natasa. Super Gastfreundlich und keiner unserer Wünsche wurde nicht erfüllt. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Sogar Sandspielzeug für unseren kleinen Sohn wurde zur Verfügung gestellt. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt bei den beiden. Macht weiter so. Liebe Grüße

5 star ratingLovely Greek welcome and excellently appointed apartment Stellios, Natasha and their respective parents were so lovely and welcoming. We felt at home from the minute we arrived. We only stayed the one night, but they kindly allowed us to stay on until late afternoon without seeking any extra payment, for which we were very grateful as our flight wasn't until the evening. Apartment was huge, modern, tastefully decorated, superbly appointed inc sattelite TV, and all the kitchen gadgets you need. Also, very efficient and quiet air conditioning, plus a large bathroom with a good shower. The apartment is in a quiet residential side street about 10 mins stroll to the centre of Kalives and same to the nearest sandy beach. Nearest restaurant is 5 mins away. We didn't have much of a sea view from our small terrace (we stayed in Osteria) as we were on ground floor and at rear, but looking at some of the other apartments, the ones on the side and front must have superb views of both mountains and sea.
