What a fabulous place to stay! The accommodation is modern and clean with excellent cooking facilities. There's lots of space with a separate lounge and dining area. We stayed in the Ostria apartment which is towards the back of the complex but it had a cosy seating area with side sea views. The hosts Natasa and Anna were so helpful and kind. Many nice touches here such as the provision of honey raki and nuts on arrival. The walk up to the apartment is a little steep towards the end but you get used to it.The apartment is about 10 minutes walk from the centre of Kalyves which is a working Cretan town with a good range of small shops, a couple of bakeries and a few mini markets. The bus service from Chania is reliable and fairly regular. There's lots of decent places to eat.
There's a good supply of guide books provided with local walks. Don't miss out on visiting Vamos, Gavalohori and Koumos. The first two can be reached by bus from Kalyves and the latter is a simple walk away.

One of the most pretty and cozy AirBnBs we've ever been to.
Very clean and well equipped appartment with many little friendly details.
The host even supported us with a problem of a barking dog at night.
They are very friendly and want you to have a great vacation.
Highly recommended!

We had such a good time staying with Stelios and Natasa. They were always very helpful and friendly.
The apartment was tastefully decorated and immaculate. The location is great; surrounded by great tavernas, walking distance to sandy beaches and a 40 minute taxi ride to Chania.
It was exactly what we were looking for, would definitely stay again.

Stunning apartment right by the ocean. Even better than it looks in the pictures. Stelios was friendly and helpful; he helped us arrange a car and greeted us for check in and check out. The apartment had everything you could need and was only a short drive from Chania. Truly a lovely place to stay and we’d highly recommend it!

Great apartment located near Kalyves center, with a nice of sea view. Very stylish and clean! Stelios was very nice and thoughtful. Don’t forget to read the welcome book after checking-in, you have some very important informations in there (like how to turn on the water heater lol).
Great recommendations, will definitely book again if I ever come back in Kalyves some day!

Die Unterkunft ist top. Alles vorhanden was man braucht und sehr sehr sauber. Das nette Vermieterehepaar ist sehr hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und dann nur ein Avra Apartments. Kalyves ist ein toller Ausgangspunkt um den Westen zu erkunden. Der Ort hat alles, was man für einen schönen Urlaub braucht. Supermarkt, gute Tavernen und einen tollen Strand.

The place was so beautiful and clean. The sea view was amazing. The entire house smelled so nice and had a very good style which I loved. It is spacious and cozy. The area was perfect for me. Peaceful but not boring. The way up to the house was a little steep but for me it was added to the character of it. Natasha is incredibly nice and communicative. The balconies were so cute and comfortable. It really was perfect.

Merci à Stelios pour son accueil, sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Kalyves, petite station balnéaire reposante. L’appartement est conforme à nos attentes et très bien équipé.
Il est également bien situé et permet de rayonner facilement pour visiter cette partie de l’île.
