Great, quiet place to stay in Crete. The view from the place is beautiful (I could stare at it all day) and there's plenty of cafés and places to eat nearby.

Hosts were great and communicative and gave us recommendations where to go. Fatastic trip - thanks both!

Nous sommes restés une semaine dans un des appartements Avra. Notre séjour à répondu entièrement à nos attentes et mes plus que ce que nous avions imaginé ! Stelios est quelqu'un de très gentil et attentionné. L'appartement est décoré avec soin et est très propre. La vue est magnifique et la localisation est parfaite pour visiter l'île. Nous nous sommes sentis comme à la maison. Bravo à vous pour votre travail.

5 star ratingAlready looking forward to booking again in the future! Amazing apartments in a wonderful location. We have just returned from our second trip to Kalyves. The first time we stayed in the Kalyves Beach Hotel, which was very pleasant, but this time we decided to try something different. Natasa was very attentive during the booking process, she made it a very easy pocess, and she was so friendly in answering all of my many questions before our arrival. She arranged our transfer from the airport with George Terezakis, a neighbour of the Avra Apartments whose taxi service I would also highly recommend. Upon arrival we were met by a lovely lady called Anna who showed us our apartment (Sirokos). We absolutely loved the layout, decor and position of this apartment and all of its quaint Greek traits. This apartment has a fantastic sea view which can be viewed from three balconies. It had every amenity which could be wished for and many personal touches a hotel just would never be able to offer. Our towels and bedding were changed regularly and the toilet roll topped up - fantastic service. It was wonderful to meet Natasa in person; she was as friendly in real life as in her emails! We all hope very much to return to Avra Apartments in the near future.

I stayed for 10 days with my boyfriend and i found this place to be full of rustic charm. It was delightful to walk about and the scenery just took my breath away, with mountains either side of you while sunbathing or having a swim right on your doorstep. I Loved All the little shops with hand made gifts and clothing. And how it felt like time really doesn't matter in Crete, I felt relaxed and quite safe in this lovely village . I would strongly recommend kalyves.

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.

Stelios was very kind and helpful host. He provided us information about good restaurants, beaches and other places we were interested in. Cleaning the apartment and changing the towels and bed linen during our stay was very nice service. All in all, the apartment was in a really good condition with beautiful interior design. Extended check-out due our late flight was extremely good service, which we appreciated a lot. We highly recommend Stelios´ apartments for those who appreciate good service, privacy and the atmosphere of a small village.

Perfect place for a family including everything that you need! 😀 - We really enjoyed our stay at Avra Apartments. Everything was absolutely amazing: the location, the apartment, the amenities and the cleanliness. The apartment was fully equipped with everything making our stay very confortable and the hosts were really hospitable and kind, offerring even toys for our toddler, which was a nice bonus to our stay. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay and we would recommend the place to our friends and family in the future! Natasa and Stelios: thanks for the filoxenia! 😞 - None

My sister and I had a lovely stay here! Stelios and Natasa were very communicative, available, and kind. The place was clean and tidy and so cute! They even have a washer and a drying rack! Very safe neighborhood, I felt comfortable being outside at night. Nice balcony to enjoy eating or just spending time outside. Would stay here again!
