The hosts Natasa and Stellios were absolutely lovely! The location was a dream, view over the Mediterranean sea and within walking distance to gorgeous beaches and good restaurants. The place was extremely clean. The apartment are beautifully decorated with artistic personal touches of some lovely pictures. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and have a very modern elegant touch. Airconditioning gives great relief from heat when you need it. Fresh bedcolths toilet paper and towels were changed every two days. What I personally also liked very much was that the hosts are environmental orientated, and make it easy for any guest to recycle plastics, and is discreetly evident through tge provided recycling bags and the clean linen bags for shopping. On arrival we were greeted in an exceptionally friendly and forthcoming manner. Also a lovely bottle of vine and Raki was also part of the generous welcome. When we sadly had to leave we were given a beautiful hand painted goodbye present! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful scenic and relaxed place to stay. Perfect for couples and families with kids. Absolutely exceptional!|

Awesome place, exactly what we needed for our vacation. My wife and my little daughter absolutely loved it. Spacy rooms, super clean, the beach a few steps away, very quiet but, most importantly, the hosts are amazing. The lovely couple that runs the place, answered all our questions, suggested the greatest highlights and little tours, and took care of us always with a smile. Best value for money. We will visit them again next summer. Highly recommended!

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!

One of the Best in Greece We have just returned from our second visit to the Avra Apartments. Our heartfelt thanks go to Natasa, Stelios and Anna – our lovely hosts who have become our dear friends. We stayed in the Levantes Studio which is absolutely beautiful. It is equipped with everything you could need for a self-catering holiday – plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and nice crockery. There are lovely imaginative touches as Natasa is very artistic. When we arrived Natasa had left a bottle of wine and rakki, together with a bowl of fruit for us. A coffee machine was also supplied together with a sandwich toaster and also washing up liquid, dishcloth, mosquito machine, a roll of paper towels and washing powder. We had a comfortable king-size bed with duvet and air con was included in the price. We had a large terrace overlooking Souda Bay with table, chairs, bench and large umbrella. Down a few steps was another patio area with a bench. The bathroom was also beautiful having been recently updated with luxurious fittings. Lovely white towels were supplied which were changed every two days and if you forget your beach towels, Natasa will supply them free of charge.
I could go on and on extolling the virtues of the Avra but the review would be too long. Thank you again Natasa, Stelios and Anna we love you guys!!!

Fabulous stay at Stelios & Natasa’s! They were both very kind and helpful. There were plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. We also loved the balcony in the apartment. We would certainly recommend this Airbnb to anyone staying in Kalyves!

A very nice apartment in a very nice village. Lots of local tavernas nearby and a nice beach just down the road. The beds were very comfortable and the WiFi signal excellent. Stelio and his family were fantastic hosts and helped us with a number of things during our stay.

A lovely place in Kalyves, slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of Chania. The apartment had everything we needed and Natasa was super friendly and communicative, and gave us local recommendations 🙂 Would love to come back for a longer period!
