5 star ratingLovely Greek welcome and excellently appointed apartment Stellios, Natasha and their respective parents were so lovely and welcoming. We felt at home from the minute we arrived. We only stayed the one night, but they kindly allowed us to stay on until late afternoon without seeking any extra payment, for which we were very grateful as our flight wasn't until the evening. Apartment was huge, modern, tastefully decorated, superbly appointed inc sattelite TV, and all the kitchen gadgets you need. Also, very efficient and quiet air conditioning, plus a large bathroom with a good shower. The apartment is in a quiet residential side street about 10 mins stroll to the centre of Kalives and same to the nearest sandy beach. Nearest restaurant is 5 mins away. We didn't have much of a sea view from our small terrace (we stayed in Osteria) as we were on ground floor and at rear, but looking at some of the other apartments, the ones on the side and front must have superb views of both mountains and sea.

My wife and I stayed at Stelio's place for a week in April and really enjoyed our time there. The apartment was comfortable and well equiped, the shower was excellent.
The outside space was great, with a nice sea view - we spent a fair bit of time there.
The beach and several shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
Stelios and Nastasa were always on hand and gave us some local recommendations.
Aside from the beach the countryside in the surrounding area is beautiful, ideal for walking with so many lovely views. We would happily stay here again when we are next back in Kalyves

5 star ratingΕκπληκτικό από όλες τις απόψεις! Είχαμε την ευκαιρία να απολαύσουμε την διαμονή μας στα συγκεκριμένα διαμερίσματα! Προσφάτως ανακαινισμένα, με τους ιδιοκτήτες να έχουν βάλει την προσωπική τους πινελιά στην διακόσμηση, η οποία ξεφεύγει από τις κοινότυπες περιπτώσεις δωματίων θερινής διαμονής!
Πέρα από τα όμορφα δωμάτια, εκείνο που μας έκανε πολύ θετική εντύπωση ήταν η φιλική συμπεριφορά των ιδιοκτητών και η διάθεσή τους να μας εξυπηρετήσουν σε ότι τους ζητήσαμε! Αν και έχω πάει αρκετές φορές στην Κρήτη, οι πληροφορίες που μας έδωσαν για τα αξιοθέατα του νησιού ήταν τόσο αναλυτικές, γεγονός που σε έκανε να νιώσεις πως δεν έχεις δει τίποτα! 🙂
Το δωμάτιό μας ήταν καθαρό, ευρύχωρο με καλό γούστο στην διακόσμηση, διέθετε κλιματισμό, tv, κουζίνα, ψυγείο και μια εκπληκτική θέα στην θάλασσα, η οποία απείχε μερικές μόνο δεκάδες μέτρα.
Το χωριό Καλύβες, διέθετε ότι χρειαζόμασταν από εστιατόρια, σουπερ μαρκετ, κτλ, όποτε εξυπηρετηθήκαμε άνετα. Βρίσκεται κοντά σχετικά στα Χανιά, με το πλεονέκτημα της δυνατότητας να μπορέσαμε να αποφύγουμε την πολυκοσμία και την φασαρία της πόλης, ενώ είμασταν αρκετά κοντά στο να την επισκεπτόμαστε όποτε επιθυμούσαμε.
Το συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα!!!

Merci à Stelios pour son accueil, sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité.
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour à Kalyves, petite station balnéaire reposante. L’appartement est conforme à nos attentes et très bien équipé.
Il est également bien situé et permet de rayonner facilement pour visiter cette partie de l’île.

Excellent help and support from Natasha and Anna.

I recommend Avra apartments.

Tips: Kalyves is a lovely quite village with many lovely attractions, walks and restaurants. For me the best restaurant serving tasty local cuisine it the Icarus which is 15 minute walk from Avra.

Perfect for a small family 😀 - The place was well equipped and we even had a crib, baby chair and baby bathtub at our disposal which was very helpful with a 6 month old baby. The apartment had two terraces, one from where we had a view to the sea. There are good restaurants in the neighborhood and the beach is also quite close. Natasia and her husband were very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay in Avra Apartments and recommend it!

Siamo stati ospiti 6 gg nell'appartamento maistros e per noi è stata una splendida esperienza. Appartamento curato, con tutte le dotazioni (anche asse da stiro e ferro) fresco, ottima posizione nella cittadina di Kalyves, in una via tranquilla ma a due passi dal paese (e a qlc km da Chania). Lo consigliamo vivamente perché siamo stati molto bene.|Per chi ama la tranquillità!!!
