5 star ratingYou haven't met Crete like this If you truly want to experience a wonderful part of Crete in a true wonderful style, then you have to visit Avra apartments, located in a place near the main town of Chania, but away from the loud music, high pricing (of the town center) and embraced by the best owners you can't go wrong! Stelios and Natassa are there to help you with everything (hint, they know every single inch of Crete) as true adventurers and full of Greek hospitality they will happily guide you in some of the most lovely yet unknown places in Crete. If you truly want to experience Crete and discover it's heritage and it's beauty then this is the place to be! Hint, ask for a Cretan breakfast....and then for directions to how you should spend the rest of your day, you won't regret it!

Superb Super accueil de Natasha. Appartement décoré avec goût, très propre, tout équipé, très bonne literie, il ne manquait rien ! Lieu très calme. Parking privé. Restaurant recommandé par Natasha était excellent à 500m de l'appartement. Nous avons mangé du poisson frais 😋à ne pas louper.

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.

The hosts Natasa and Stellios were absolutely lovely! The location was a dream, view over the Mediterranean sea and within walking distance to gorgeous beaches and good restaurants. The place was extremely clean. The apartment are beautifully decorated with artistic personal touches of some lovely pictures. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and have a very modern elegant touch. Airconditioning gives great relief from heat when you need it. Fresh bedcolths toilet paper and towels were changed every two days. What I personally also liked very much was that the hosts are environmental orientated, and make it easy for any guest to recycle plastics, and is discreetly evident through tge provided recycling bags and the clean linen bags for shopping. On arrival we were greeted in an exceptionally friendly and forthcoming manner. Also a lovely bottle of vine and Raki was also part of the generous welcome. When we sadly had to leave we were given a beautiful hand painted goodbye present! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful scenic and relaxed place to stay. Perfect for couples and families with kids. Absolutely exceptional!|

5 star ratingFabulous view We stayed at Avra (also known as Breezes) Apts in the top rooms (Siroko). The view was amazing, the bed was the most comfortable I've slept in in Greece, soft pillows, free with fi, air con, satellite TV,combination safe, full size cooker with oven, washing machine, brand name hairdryer and lots of other useful items too numerous to mention. 3 balconies on total.One very large overlooking the sea,one to the side catching the late afternoon sun and a third, smaller, for the washing.Anna the owner, and Natasa, were both very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us.Avra is about 15 mins slow walk to the nearest taverna (Akrigialos) - walk along the sea road,it's safer, and about 20-25 mins stroll to the far end of the village.The good news is, Anna's neighbour is a taxi driver and if you ask her she will organise a lift for you. (5 euros to the far end of the village.No price increase after midnight)The only downside was the fairly steep narrow road to the apartment.

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!

Gli appartamenti sono davvero ottimi perché nuovi molto puliti e ben tenuti. La cucina e ben attrezzata non manca nulla nemmeno la moka. Al nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato olio sale zucchero e frutta fresca. Molto gentili e disponibili i gestori che ci hanno accolti maniera calorosa. Davvero molto consigliato!!!!

We really enjoyed staying at Stelios apartment! It is nicely furnished, the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need for cooking and the view from the terrace is lovely. The neighborhood quiet, but you can find a grocery store, restaurants and bakery within 10min walking. Stelios has equipped the apartment in a way that we found everything we needed. Thanks a lot, we'll surely come back!
