The place was so beautiful and clean. The sea view was amazing. The entire house smelled so nice and had a very good style which I loved. It is spacious and cozy. The area was perfect for me. Peaceful but not boring. The way up to the house was a little steep but for me it was added to the character of it. Natasha is incredibly nice and communicative. The balconies were so cute and comfortable. It really was perfect.

The apartment has everything you need and if not Stelios is for sure happy to provide it. We had a great time and the apartment is also an excellent spot to explore the island.
Communication was excellent and check in an check out very easy.

Hands down 5 stars. We loved this little apartment - spent 7 nights there and enjoyed every minute. The terrace is lovely, the kitchen fully equipped, the shower wonderful.
It’s little and it was exactly what we wanted. Perfect. The location is about a 30 minute drive from Chania, which suited us fine - we liked that Kalyves was quiet. Parking is slightly challenging and we were scared of scratching the rental car so we ended up parking down the road in a little free parking lot. Completely recommend this apartment!

Superb 😀 - Super accueil de Natasha. Appartement décoré avec goût, très propre, tout équipé, très bonne literie, il ne manquait rien ! Lieu très calme. Parking privé. Restaurant recommandé par Natasha était excellent à 500m de l'appartement. Nous avons mangé du poisson frais 😋à ne pas louper.

One of the best places we have stayed at. Stelios and his wife, Natasa, are wonderful. They went above and beyond any host. The apartment was in immaculate condition. We quickly felt right at home. Our apartment was fully updated with very nice finishes. I highly recommend this apartment. They will treat you like family.

Stelios et sa femme ont été très accueillants, ils nous ont donné de bons conseils sur quoi visiter aux alentours. L'appartement était parfait et exactement comme décrit, l'emplacement très agréable et paisible. Nous recommandons ce logement.

Thank you for the wonderful stay, Stelios. We only stayed for one night as visiting during a trip from SE to NW Crete. The pictures don’t do your place justice as it was perfect in every way and so calm and peaceful. We also had everything we could possibly need and more. Would definitely stay again if in the area!

Thank you!

We stayed 7 nights at the Ostria apartment in Avra Apartments hosted by Stelios and his wife Natasa. The apartment is very nice, very practical. We found everything you might need (air dryer, washing machine, cutleries and dishes). The place was very clean and we also appreciated a lot the mid-stay cleaning service. Stelios and Natasa are very friendly and helpful, their suggestions were precious and really helped us during our stay. There is a reserved free parking spot just in front of the apartment.
We truly recommend this place and we really enjoyed our stay!

Stelios is a great host and the apartment was better than expected. Fully furnished & very suitable for a nice family stay with a baby & a toddler. We spent one week in April in this apartment. The location was ok to access local beaches and do a couple of daily trips in Chania region. We would warmly recommend this place to anyone!
