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!

“Avra” is really a very fine place. The owner Natasa and Stelios are very helpful and accommodating people.
Very nice and well equipped apartments
We had a wonderful vacation at “Avra”and we will for sure come back next year
Thanks to Natasa and Stelios

Stunning apartment right by the ocean. Even better than it looks in the pictures. Stelios was friendly and helpful; he helped us arrange a car and greeted us for check in and check out. The apartment had everything you could need and was only a short drive from Chania. Truly a lovely place to stay and we’d highly recommend it!

All I can say is just perfect. Perfect room, perfect view, perfect hospitality. Everything you need is well thought and the room is fully equipped, including washing machine, hair dryer, shampoos, towels(for beach too), coffee machine, toaster, kettle, good fridge, olive oil, pan, etc. But as a person who cares about hygiene a lot what really made me love this place is that they didn’t put those decorative blankets and pillows in top of the bed like any other hotels/Airbnbs. No marks in the sheets nor in the towels. Everywhere in the room felt so clean. I stayed in Levantes room for 7 nights and had such a blast in the morning with the view while drinking my coffee. Balcony set up was also super cozy. Bed was very comfortable. There are really countless of things that I consider perfect. In some hotels or airbnbs there are no space for your makeup products, no proper place to hang your towels, put your clothes. But I got a lot of space for my stuff, I had three mirrors in the room which was very convenient also. Cute cretan cats were visiting our balcony once in a while which was also a big plus for me to have them around. I felt like we were in the nature with sea view but in a luxury condition. We were able to park our car just right in front of our front door as well which made also very easy for us to pack beach bags easily without carrying heavy things to the car. Car was just one step close to us. The owner couple was so sweet. When we encountered them, they kept asking if we need anything, if everything was good, it was obvious that they wanted to make sure we feel like home which we did. About the location, Kalyves was not beautiful as chania or rethymno but quiet and nice. Just a seaside village so dont expect too much from the village. There were two beaches nearby around 10 mins each but we always went to turquoise water beaches located in the west and south of crete but this was our preference. And since kalyves is located in between rethymno and chania we were able to visit both towns for dinner easily. Overall, it was such an amazing stay. This place increased the expectation so high that I am not sure if I’ll ever like other airbnbs as much as I liked this apartment. This level of cleanliness, good equipment and relax stay cannot even be found in five star all inclusive hotels sometimes. Amazing.

Our third stay in Avra Apartments - did not think about other accommodation in Chania region. Cozy rooms, clean, well equipped - everything functional. High level of care and hospitality - feel like at home - thank you Natasa !!!

Stélios et Natasa sont des hôtes très attentionnés. Ils ont été disponibles pendant tout notre séjour en nous apportant toutes les informations à nos diverses sollicitations. Stélios et Natasa sont très réactifs et répondent toujours très rapidement.Nous les remercions vivement pour les belles vacances que nous avons passés chez eux !

Das Apartment ist sehr geschmackvoll und modern renoviert. Die Küche ist perfekt ausgestattet. Der Wohnbereich und die 2 Schlafzimmer sind offen, hell und gemütlich. Das Meer ist von allen 3 Balkonen aus zu sehen. Die Einkaufslage im Ort ist komfortabel, einer von mehreren Stränden in 3 Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Besonders gefallen haben uns die Wanderungen in der direkten Umgebung, die Täler sind traumhaft. Die Vermieterinnen sind äußerst hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Siamo stati accolti da Natasa, un host da 10 e lode. Si è interessata più volte sull’andamento del nostro soggiorno durante la nostra permanenza. L’appartamento è come in foto ed è tutto curato nei minimi dettagli. Potrete trovare una lavatrice, molto utile soprattutto per soggiorni medio lunghi.
Natasa è stata sempre super disponibile e cordiale, ci ha fatto proprio sentire a casa.
Un altro punto a favore, per nulla scontato è stato la pulizia, il cambio lenzuola e asciugami avvenuto più volte durante i nostri 10 gg di pernottamento.
Vi consigliamo assolutamente di scegliere questi appartamenti se volete godervi una vacanza all’insegna di pace e tranquillità.

Grazie ancora Natasa

Ο Στέλιος και η Νατάσα έχουν κάνει το σπίτι τους ένα όμορφο μικρό κουκούλι. Είναι τέλεια εξοπλισμένο με όλες τις ανέσεις που θέλετε και είναι υπέροχα διακοσμημένο, δεν λείπει τίποτα.
Είναι σε καλή τοποθεσία, μερικές εκατοντάδες μέτρα από τις παραλίες, το σούπερ μάρκετ και το χωριό.
Ας μην ξεχνάμε ότι η ειδική αναφορά για το θερμό καλωσόρισμα των οικοδεσποτών μας και τη λεπτή προσοχή τους καθ 'όλη τη διάρκεια της διαμονής.
Ευχαριστούμε για την υπέροχη διαμονή σας!

Lovely 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.

We stayed at Avra apartments for 5 nights and it was a superb stay.
The apartment is exactly as in the pictures. It is equipped with every little thing you might need during your stay, and seems that everything is brand new.
We actually felt like home while being there. Natasa and Stelios were super engaging, gave great recommendations and helped with anything we needed during our stay.
