Just got back from a 3 night stay at Avra apartment and wished we’d booked longer. Have to say the place is finished to a very high standard, very modern and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable place to stay, the apartment has everything you need for a much longer stay. The location is ideal with tavernas and beaches only a short walk. Fantastic view of the see from our balcony.
Hope to be back soon!

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit auf Kreta und haben uns in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt! Natasa hat uns herzlich begrüßt, uns mit Tipps für die Umgebung versorgt und sich zwischendurch nach uns erkundigt.
Besonders gefallen hat uns, dass die Wohnung zwischendurch gereinigt worden ist und uns sogar Strandtücher zu Verfügung gestellt wurden.
Hier wurde an alles Gedacht und wir können uns vorstellen wiederzukommen!

Der Aufenthalt bei Stelios war ein super Einstieg in unseren Kreta-Urlaub.
Super Lage, tolle Aussicht & top Ausstattung.
Es war alles da was man benötigt (Kochen, Waschen & für den Strand).
Stelios war super hilfsbereit und die Kommunikation war einfach & schnell.
Wir können die Unterkunft nur jedem weiterempfehlen. 🙂

By far one of the best Airbnb‘s I’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommendable. Stelios is an awesome host and assisted us proactively.
In every regards, the apartment is sufficient and comfortable.
Our dearest greetings,
Jannis and Lisa

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.

Really lovely stay here. Location is ideal, right next to the sea with a great view. The apartment itself is peaceful & tucked away from the busy roads. Just a 10-15 minute walk along the shore to the main beach & village. Everything we needed was easy to find. Stelios & his wife were so helpful, welcoming & communicative. The apartment was exactly as described & all ready for us, with the sofa bed set up already as they knew 2 of us would be sleeping there. They gave lots of helpful advice for transport, recommendations, & clear instructions for check in - plus waited for us on check in when our flight there was delayed. They also let us check out later on our last day, which was appreciated especially due to it being a hot day. Apartment is beautifully decorated, had everything we needed including air con. We loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings/evenings especially. Very eco-conscious as well which we loved! A wonderful stay, lovely owners and great area for group holidays.

Stayed at Avra Apartments during Christmas 2021 whilst house searching in the local area. We wasn't originally supposed to be staying here but we had a bad experience at an another Air B&B so abandoned that one and found Avra Apartments last minute, a couple of days before Christmas. Natasa and the hosts were absolutely fantastic, we informed them of our poor experience at the other apartment, and they had the heating ready for us to arrive. We spent up to New years Eve there, and Natasa was great asking how we were getting on and recommending her favourite restaurants open out of season as well as the gifts of wine, fruit and treats. There is a fantastic cake bakery at the bottom of the drive that we use all the time when in Kalyves.
Apartments are great size and modern.
The location is great and easy to walk into town. Some parking spaces are available, but if not, parking is available nearby. The TV had Netflix installed so we could plug into our account during the evenings. We're very grateful to Avra for their hospitality.
