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!

5 star ratingAlready looking forward to booking again in the future! 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.

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!

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!

5 star ratingDreamy family vacation 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!
