Charming hosts, modern and very comfortable furnishings, quality appliances and cooking equipment. One can walk anywhere in town. A short drive to Chania, Ocean swimming steps away and a very peaceful location. Watch the nautical traffic from your patio. I hate to compliment too much because we planned to return this October but it was sold out! The word is out! 5 star review, 10 stars if I could. Kim S. Seattle/USA

We thoroughly enjoyed our first stay at Avra Apartments. We were met by Natasa and Stelios who made us very welcome. The apartments are very well equiped with quality fittings etc. We are very likely to come back.

Tips for other travellers
The aparments are about a 15 minute walk from the main Kalyves beach. All services such as a large supermarket,local shops,tavernas and bars are close by.The slope up to the property may not suit those with limited walking mobility but there is ample parking on site.

We stayed for a week at Stelios and Natasa, and it was an amazing stay. The place is beyong clean and organized and they help us with everything we need it. It is 20 min away to Chania by car, but you can already spend a calm and relaxed day in Kalyves village. Much recommended :))

Just got back from a 3 night stay at Avra apartment and wished we’d booked longer. Have to say the place is finished to a very high standard, very modern and spotlessly clean. Very comfortable place to stay, the apartment has everything you need for a much longer stay. The location is ideal with tavernas and beaches only a short walk. Fantastic view of the see from our balcony.
Hope to be back soon!

Έμεινα πέρσι το καλοκαίρι στο Αυρα και πραγματικά ήταν όλα άψογα! Πεντακάθαρο ολοκαίνουριο δωμάτιο-σουίτα, με πολυ προσεγμένη διακόσμηση, τέλεια στρώματα, μεγάλο μπαλκόνι με θέα. Η τοποθεσία επίσης είναι ιδανική, δίπλα από τη θάλασσα, κοντά στα Χανιά και ιδανική για εξορμήσεις ώστε να γνωρίσετε τις ομορφιές της Κρήτης. Οι ιδιοκτήτες ευγενέστατοι, καλόκαρδοι, είναι ταξιδιώτες κ αυτοί οπότε ξέρουν τι σημαίνει φιλοξενία και σεβασμός στον ταξιδιώτη. Εκαναν τα πάντα για να μείνουμε ευχαριστημένοι. Και το κατάφεραν με το παραπάνω! Θα ξαναπάω σίγουρα, ότι καλύτερο στην Κρήτη!

We really enjoyed our stay in Avra Apartments - Levantes. The apartment was very well equipped and we loved the outdoor patio with amazing sea view. It is nicely located in the center of Kalyves so that you can easily walk to both beaches on either sides of the village within 10-15 min. Restaurants and shops are also in walking distance between 5-15 min. Natasa has been an amazing host and gave us some tips for visiting Chania which you can reach in around 20 min by car.

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.

Wir hatten hier unsere Flitterwochen verbracht, und es war wunderbar.

Überaus freundliche und großzügige Vermieterin! 2x in der Woche wurde unsere Ferienwohnung gereinigt, was ich nicht für selbstverständlich halte. Sie hatte sich nie aufgedrängt und unsere Privatsphäre überhaupt nicht gestört, war aber über WhatsApp immer ansprechbar, falls nötig.

Die Lage war ideal. Wenn man draußen auf der Terrasse frühstücken wollte, hatte man einen direkten Blick aufs Meer.
Der Weg zum Supermarkt war mit dem Auto keine 5 Minuten entfernt, und war auch sehr gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Trotz Nähe zur Stadt war man durch einige Häuserreihen vor der Ferienwohnung gut genug abgeschottet vom Treiben und Lärm, wobei der schöne Blick aufs Meer durch die obere Hanglage des Hauses einem nicht versagt blieb!
Ideal gelegen für viele Ausflugsziele, von ganz im Westen der Insel (Elafonisi ca 1,5h mit dem Auto) bis Mitte ganz im Süden der Insel (Preveli ca 1h mit dem Auto) und sehr viele andere schöne Strände und Wandermöglichkeiten dazwischen ☺️

Die Ferienwohnung würden wir auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!!

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!
