An amazing stay in Kalyves. The apartment is so well appointed with everything you would need. Stelios and Anna were so lovely & helpful through out our stay. The location is quiet and quaint and we would recommend to anyone who wanted a peaceful stay on Crete.
Thank you again for making our holiday so perfect, 5 stars.

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!

Really lovely stay here. Location is ideal, right next to the sea with a great view. The apartment itself is peaceful & tucked away from the busy roads. Just a 10-15 minute walk along the shore to the main beach & village. Everything we needed was easy to find. Stelios & his wife were so helpful, welcoming & communicative. The apartment was exactly as described & all ready for us, with the sofa bed set up already as they knew 2 of us would be sleeping there. They gave lots of helpful advice for transport, recommendations, & clear instructions for check in - plus waited for us on check in when our flight there was delayed. They also let us check out later on our last day, which was appreciated especially due to it being a hot day. Apartment is beautifully decorated, had everything we needed including air con. We loved sitting on the balcony in the mornings/evenings especially. Very eco-conscious as well which we loved! A wonderful stay, lovely owners and great area for group holidays.

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!

Highly recommend!! We came to Kalyves for some rest and relaxation and our stay at Avra apartments exceeded this expectation. The apartment was very clean, stocked with all the essentials plus some, and the terrace was the perfect place to start every day - we even arrived to some welcome gifts. Stelios was incredibly accommodating and responsive, quickly providing us with additional amenities, such as beach towels. Chania and its surrounding areas were amazing, but this accommodation really made it feel like home away from home. The whole trip was perfect thanks to Stelios’ help! Avra apartments exceeded our expectations in every way! Hope to come back soon!

Très bel appartement, fonctionnel et joliment décoré. Stelios. Anastasa et Anna sont des hôtes très accueillants et tout à l’écoute en restants discrets. Point de chute idéal pour visiter l’ouest de la Crête. Nous recommandons vivement!

I stayed for 10 days with my boyfriend and i found this place to be full of rustic charm. It was delightful to walk about and the scenery just took my breath away, with mountains either side of you while sunbathing or having a swim right on your doorstep. I Loved All the little shops with hand made gifts and clothing. And how it felt like time really doesn't matter in Crete, I felt relaxed and quite safe in this lovely village . I would strongly recommend kalyves.

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.
