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

Stelio’s and his family were extremely attentive during our stay. The apartment was in a fantastic location, with walking distance to a beach, numerous restaurants and the super market. The apartment was clean and felt extremely safe. We were kindly gifted with a bottle of wine, some local treats, and coffee and tea etc. towels were supplied for our stay, and beach towels generously made available on request. The property is located next door to a taxi company which was super useful for our stay and on our request Stelios arranged for them to collect us from the airport on our arrival! All in all a fantastic stay, with hosts that went above and beyond to make us comfortable and happy during our stay.

Stelios und Natasa sind hervorragende Gastgeber. Die beiden sind super nett und sehr hilfsbereit. Das Apartment ist meiner Meinung nach in natura noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Wir haben uns sofort total wohlgefühlt und sind total glücklich diese Unterkunft gefunden zu haben. Das persönliche Highlight war für uns der bestens ausgestattete Grill! 🙂 Wir kommen sehr gern wieder!

Dear Stelios and Natasa, thank you for our fabulous stay! What a well designed, spacious, modern, well equipped apartment . The bed was super comfortable, it had a brilliant shower and everything you would need should you choose to cook. Located a short walk from the village and even shorter walk to two of our favourite places, Cactus for breakfast and Delight for morning excellent coffee or cocktails later in the day. The apartment had games and walking guides books. Thank you for the fruit, it was a lovely welcome and the offer of beach towels was very much appreciated. We were coming from another airbnb apartment and whilst not enquiring about an earlier check in we wondered if it would be possible to store our cold items until check in. I got the impression that if there was any way they could help with they would and they did. Thank you both, we really appreciated it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. A little gem 💎 of a place.

We had an amazing stay at Avra apartments! Everything was perfect, the warm welcome, the cosy feel of the apartment. Everything was really well thought out, and there were lots of little touches that made it extra special. The hosts were so friendly, kind and helpful, making us feel really welcome. It was beautifully clean, and in the perfect location in Kalyves. Thank you for everything!

Tips for other travellers:
There are so many amazing walks in the area, it’s great to explore on foot or with the local bus service we especially loved walking to Douliana and having lunch overlooking the white mountains. Beautiful quiet beaches near to the Synka supermarket. Cactus is great for cocktails! You always get a warm welcome at Stella’s bar. There are some great Tavernas in Kalyves. Koumos is a must see!

Very nice, well equipped apartment with lovely balcony with sea view. Beautiful village, large beach 😀 - The host waited for us when we arrived and showed us in to the apartment. She was very helpful and gave us suggestions on places to visit and tavernas which were very good.
