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.

Tout d'abord un grand merci à Natasa et Stelios pour leur gentillesse et leur accueil. Ce sont des hôtes vraiment serviables et aux petits soins. A notre arrivée dans le logement ils nous ont offert des fruits frais,du vin et un alcool local. C'est une très belle attention.
Le logement est parfait. Il n'y a rien à dire. Il est décoré avec soin, fonctionnel et très bien équipé. Les deux petits balcons sont vraiment appréciables et la vue mer est top.
On peut faire facilement les courses à pied, plusieurs restaurants et petits commerces sont aussi à proximité et les plages sont également facilement accessibles.
L'aéroport se trouve à 35 min en voiture.
Nous recommandons ce logement à 300%.
Encore merci à vous deux et au plaisir de revenir séjourner chez vous 🙂

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft und nicht zu sehr im Touristen-Trubel. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und konnten die Vermieter jederzeit für Fragen oder Empfehlungen erreichen. Sowohl der Check-In als auch das Auschecken waren persönlich und sehr herzlich!
Wir würden die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall erneut buchen. Gerade die Lage ist perfekt um Tagesausflüge in alle Richtungen Kretas zu unternehmen.

Beautiful hosts, beautiful place and the area is a great settling point for activities: from hiking, strolling along the beach in waking distance to many beautiful beaches and ancient places to visit.
The apartment had an amazing selection to stay for easy 2-3 weeks and cook the beautiful Greek food and have some relaxed evenings with a glass of wine on the balcony. I love having the flexibility to stay at “home” and enjoy AND have great tavernas and cafes in walking distance. Supermarket in 7 min . Walking, bakery 3 min., Taverne 3,5 min. 😉

Thank you to the most beautiful kind hosts - so much love is put into this place with the individual apartments- I extended my stay 😁 and will be back !! 🩷🩷

The apartments are in a very quiet position tucked into the natural hillside with great sea views. We loved the two terraces for our apartment, with sun in the afternoon (Levantes). The apartment had everything you could want. The access drive is quite narrow and steep but with level parking by the door. 10 min walk either way to 2 beaches and a range of great restaurants. Kalives is a great find! The book of local walks provided was excellent and we enjoyed exploring the local area. Stelios and Natasa were very friendly and helpful. We would go back.

We had a perfect family holiday staying at Avra apartments. From the wonderful warm welcome with Anna (at midnight!) to all the advice, tips, and small touches from Stelios and Natasa really made our daughters first holiday even better than we could have hoped it would be! We are all very sad to leave but had the best time!

From the moment you step in you feel most welcomed as you will discover fresh fruits on the table, and cold water and raki in the refrigerator 🙂 ||This comfortable, clean and cozy place is ideal for a family. Stelios and Natasa, the owners, are always happy to help you with tips and recommendations for things to do in Crete. It's always a pleasure to stay at Avra. We'll be back soon!

We had a wonderful 2 weeks stay at Stelios’ & Natasa’s place! The apartment is beautiful and spotlessly clean, just as in the photos, kitchen was well stocked and Natasa awaited us with some fruits and local alcohol ☺️ location is close to Chania and LOTS of amazing beaches and things to see. Communication with Natasa was great, lots of great local recommendations. We hope to be back soon!

I stayed for 10 days with my boyfriend and i found this place to be full of rustic charm. It was delightful to walk about and the scenery just took my breath away, with mountains either side of you while sunbathing or having a swim right on your doorstep. I Loved All the little shops with hand made gifts and clothing. And how it felt like time really doesn't matter in Crete, I felt relaxed and quite safe in this lovely village . I would strongly recommend kalyves.
