It was a pleasure to stay in this apartment. Natasa waited us at check in, there is a free parking spot at the apartment, had some fruits and other nice surprises in the apartment, we really appreciated it! 🙂 We enjoyed the area, 1 minute away from the sea and a couple more to the beach, nice bakery and restaurants/cafés also just a few minutes away; Kalyves is a nice and not so big city. Apartment is peaceful, we could have long sleeps 🙂 All in all, I gladly recommend it to anyone!

Stelios was a wonderful host! The apartment looks newly renovated (or even just built)! Stelios was kind enough to leave us some fruits, water and bread. The kitchen is perfect to make meals! The apartment is located in Kalyves, which is a more family friendly area. The beach is a short walk away. I highly recommend Kritiko (restaurant near the center of Kalyves), the food was amazing!
Stelios was very helpful when we had any questions and he helped us arrange a taxi for our midnight flight arrival. Our driver was even kind enough to drop off our bags at the apartment and then take us to look for food past midnight! My boyfriend loved the gyros from simon's (fast food joint).
Chania is a short 20 mins drive. And the beautiful beach, Elafonassi is around 1.5hrs away.
Thank you for the wonderful stay, Stelios!

The apartment has everything you need and if not Stelios is for sure happy to provide it. We had a great time and the apartment is also an excellent spot to explore the island.
Communication was excellent and check in an check out very easy.

Stelios and Natasa were very nice hosts-friendly, welcoming, helpful.
Apartment had 2 lovely balconies, well equipped kitchen, comfy bed and good bathroom, and was super-clean.
Well-sited for beaches, restaurants, supermarket etc;
We had a very nice time there, and would recommend.
Tips for other travellers
Both beaches are good for swimming. Plenty of local circular walks. The walks to Armeni, and to the Koiliairis river and old Venetian windmill were particularly good.
Plenty of good tavernas to choose from.

Stayed in 2 bed apartment Altemi. So incredibly comfortable and well-designed. Super well-equipped kitchen, cushioned reclining chairs on the balcony and great beds. Natasa was lovely, gave us beach towels, fruit, wine and raki. Downstairs there were books and beach things to borrow. Thoroughly recommend and would definitely come back.

We had a great time at Appartment Meltemi. The apartment was new, very well maintained, everything you need was there. Very nicely decorated in a Mediterranean style. From the balcony a 180 degree view of the Bay of Souda to Almyrida. The owners very warm and helpful. We can warmly recommend the apartment and Kalives

A very good location for those who want to be near/in the village Kalyves, and those who prioritise a location without noise during nighttime. The apartment was found to be very clean, and with very good and friendly support from the hosts.
Visiting the place in April is probably a ballot with regards to weather, which we knew in advance. And a tip; There is a bakery close to the apartment, and the standard phrase from the bakery staff whenever we went in there and asked for croissants was: "Maybe tomorrow". So just be prepared. (but they have a lot of other good stuff!
