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.

Wunderschönes, modernes Appartement. Man sieht das Meer, die Lage ist super und ruhig. Alles im Dorf ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Gastgeber sind so herzlich und gastfreundlich, man fühlt sich wie in der eigenen Familie. In der Wohnung ist alles da, was man für einen entspannten kurzen oder längeren Aufenthalt braucht. Es ist schade, wenn man gehen muß, aber ein Grund, wieder zu kommen. Danke!

The apartment was just amazing!
Very clean, very pretty, exactly as shown on the pictures, amazing view, everything we needed was there, especially in the kitchen and the bathroom.
That is just surpassed by the extremely (I assume wife of the host Stelios) Natasha! She checked in with us every day without being annoying, she had the best recommendations for Kalyves and the surrounding villages and the whole area of Chania. We were so satisfied by that! She also made sure the cleaning is on the right day so that it fits our plans and could answer every question we had.
Also, Kalyves is a nice little village and we got everything we needed from the lots of little stores (small supermarkets, butcher, bakery etc.) on the main street, which was just around the corner.
The apartment was easy to find and also had a parking spot for our rented car.
All in all, it couldn't have been any better, I would highly recommend this stay!

Super schönes, gut ausgestattetes und sehr sauberes Apartment. Tolle und ruhige Lage: Strände, Supermärkte und Tavernen sind sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Die Gastgeber sind super freundlich, immer gut zu erreichen und haben tolle Tipps für Restaurants und Unternehmungen. Wir kommen gerne wieder in eine Ihrer Unterkünfte.

Stelios and Natasa are super dedicated to maintaining the house they let. Everything is in great condition and looks beautiful inside and outside. I mean, how often do you see sharp knives when you rent an accommodation 🙂
There are more nice things to tell, but I just say - an accommodation
and hosts are outstanding.

Το διαμέρισμα Avra Apartment στις Καλύβες ήταν πάρα πολύ καλό,καθαρό,άνετο με μια όμορφη βεράντα σε μια ήσυχη γειτονία.Καθόλη την διάρκεια της παραμονής μας δεν μας έλειψε απολύτως τίποτα!Οι οικοδεσπότες ήταν πολύ εξυπηρετικοί και πάντα πρόθυμοι να βοηθήσουν σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε μας έδωσαν ακόμα και πληροφοριές για φαγητό και για διάφορες δραστηριότητες.Περάσαμε ένα πολυ όμορφο και χαλαρό τριήμερο!
