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.

In just one word i would describe this accommodation as WOW! The apartment is very, but very nice, modern and has absolutely everything you need and on top of that you have this 2 nice people, Stelios und Natasa.
We can only recommend this place and not forget to ask for recommendation when it comes to restaurants. They gave us the best recommendations and we eat sooo good. They always answered in a few minutes to our messages and the took the time to talk to us about the island,people, life in general.
I think this is the best accommodation we had in Greece.
The beach is close, you have good restaurants, coffee shops.

Don't hesitate to book this wonderful apartment and have a great vacation!

5 star ratingQuel bonheur ! La joie de poser ses valises en Crète pour la première fois et d'y être dans un si joli contexte. Très sympathiquement accueillis sur les lieux avec nos deux enfants, nous avons eu le bonheur de découvrir le vaste appartement avec grande terrasse (et vue merveilleuse sur la baie de Kalyves) qui allait devenir notre maison pour trois jours.
Une bouteille de raki nous attendait, ainsi que du vin - la générosité crétoise !
Lieu parfait pour naviguer d'est en ouest aux alentours - ne surtout pas manquer la crique d'Ombrosgialos !
Nous reviendrons avec un immense plaisir et recommandons chaleureusement cet endroit en tous points superbe tenu par des gens adorables (un gros bisou à bébé Johanna en passant)

Zentrale Lage. Keine 10 Minuten Fußweg zu Restaurants, Strand und Supermarkt.

Gastgeber unheimlich nett. Wir haben viele Tipps bekommen.
Extra Strandtücher und Sonnenschirm haben wir auf Nachfrage gestellt bekommen!

5 star ratingCreta - Che sorpresa!! Siamo stati ospiti 6 gg nell'appartamento maistros e per noi è stata una splendida esperienza. Appartamento curato, con tutte le dotazioni (anche asse da stiro e ferro) fresco, ottima posizione nella cittadina di Kalyves, in una via tranquilla ma a due passi dal paese (e a qlc km da Chania). Lo consigliamo vivamente perché siamo stati molto bene.
Per chi ama la tranquillità!!!

Ποιότητας και γούστου διαμερίσματα που δεν τους λείπουν τίποτα ώστε να απολαύσει κάποιος της διακοπές του στο επαρκο. Η Κα Νατάσα είναι πάντα εκεί διακριτικα για όποια βοήθεια κάποιος χρειαστεί. Πραγματικά τέτοιου είδους επενδύσεις σε συνδυασμό με τον επαγγελματισμο της όλης προσπάθειας αναδεικνύουν τον Ελληνικό τουρισμό ως προς του πως πρέπει να λειτουργεί και να είναι ένα τέτοιου είδους κατάλυμα.

Warm welcome, super friendly owners! Everything you need is nearby, very well located to explore the most beautiful parts of Crete. Apparment was great, very cozy, clean, quiet, well equiped, even with sea view. We had a great time. Would definitely stay here again!

Tips for other travellers: Don't just go to the beach, also explore the mountains. It is totally worth it 🙂
