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.

The appartement is beautiful. Perfect for a Pair. And also the host was so friendly and gave us tips what we can do in the surrounding area.

Tip: In the west of Kalyves there is the Café Delight, which very idyllic and romantic for pairs. It‘s directly at the sea and there are small tables at the beach wall

5 star ratingAbsolutely exceptional! The hosts Natasa and Stellios were absolutely lovely! The location was a dream, view over the Mediterranean sea and within walking distance to gorgeous beaches and good restaurants. The place was extremely clean. The apartment are beautifully decorated with artistic personal touches of some lovely pictures. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and have a very modern elegant touch. Airconditioning gives great relief from heat when you need it. Fresh bedcolths toilet paper and towels were changed every two days. What I personally also liked very much was that the hosts are environmental orientated, and make it easy for any guest to recycle plastics, and is discreetly evident through tge provided recycling bags and the clean linen bags for shopping. On arrival we were greeted in an exceptionally friendly and forthcoming manner. Also a lovely bottle of vine and Raki was also part of the generous welcome. When we sadly had to leave we were given a beautiful hand painted goodbye present! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful scenic and relaxed place to stay. Perfect for couples and families with kids. Absolutely exceptional!

Wir waren zwei Wochen hier.
Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit!
Der Check-in hat wunderbar geklappt obwohl wir durch den Flug verspätet ankamen.
Wir wurden ganz herzlich empfangen und dies hat sich jeden Tag wiederholt.
Die beiden waren immer herzlich, hilfsbereit, freundlich und umsichtig.
Wir haben die besten Tipps für Ausflüge, Strände und Restaurants bekommen und konnten uns immer an die beiden wenden.
Wenn wir etwas brauchten, hat es nur wenige Minuten gedauert, bis sich darum gekümmert wurde.
Auch als wir krank wurden, wurden wir unterstützt und man hat sich mehrfach nach uns und unserem Zustand erkundigt.
Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber, die Putzfrau hat immer sehr gründlich geputzt.
Es hat uns an überhaupt nichts gefehlt.
Das Appartement ist in einem top Zustand und 1:1 wie auf den Fotos. Liebevoll eingerichtet und hat alles, was man braucht!
Das Meer ist nur einen Blick entfernt und das Dorf fußläufig zu erreichen.
Wir sind sehr zufrieden und danken für die tolle Zeit <3

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

Hands down 5 stars. We loved this little apartment - spent 7 nights there and enjoyed every minute. The terrace is lovely, the kitchen fully equipped, the shower wonderful.
It’s little and it was exactly what we wanted. Perfect. The location is about a 30 minute drive from Chania, which suited us fine - we liked that Kalyves was quiet. Parking is slightly challenging and we were scared of scratching the rental car so we ended up parking down the road in a little free parking lot. Completely recommend this apartment!

Levantes apartment was our Little piece of heaven during our Road trip to the West part of Crete.
It was extra clean, very well decorated and had everything we needed during our stay.
It was ideally located (next to the beach and restaurants as well as supermarket), but very quiet !
I highly recommand you stay at Stelios's lovely apartment.

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!
