Highly recommend staying here! Our stay was incredibly lovely. The accommodation was impeccable and Natasa was the most attentive and helpful guide for the area, even looking up weather for us and suggesting itineraries. She sent us to one of our favorite restaurants of the whole trip and is just generally someone you’ll wish you had way more time just getting to know! Nice hot water and comfy bed. Many thoughtful touches like raki, fruit, tea, and coffee to welcome you ❤️

Such a lovely apartment, with everything you need, close to the bus station, we came from Chania by bus and it was just a 3min walk, everything is within walkable distance, great village. The bedroom was so confortable, you can really get amazing sleep there. It makes a great choice for peaceful holidays.

Stelios was a wonderful host! The apartment looks newly renovated (or even just built)! Stelios was kind enough to leave us some fruits, water and bread. The kitchen is perfect to make meals! The apartment is located in Kalyves, which is a more family friendly area. The beach is a short walk away. I highly recommend Kritiko (restaurant near the center of Kalyves), the food was amazing!
Stelios was very helpful when we had any questions and he helped us arrange a taxi for our midnight flight arrival. Our driver was even kind enough to drop off our bags at the apartment and then take us to look for food past midnight! My boyfriend loved the gyros from simon's (fast food joint).

Chania is a short 20 mins drive. And the beautiful beach, Elafonassi is around 1.5hrs away.
Thank you for the wonderful stay, Stelios!

5 star ratingTraum Urlaub in Avra Apartment Kalives Von unseren Vermietern Anna, Natasa und Stelios wurden wir herzlich begrüßt und während unsers Aufenthaltes hervorragend betreut. Gas gesamte Haus verfügt über mehrere Apartments, die alle sehr gepflegt sind.und alle Annehmlichkeiten haben, die den Urlaub schön machen. Wlan funktioniert ausgezeichnet. Die Lage des Hauses ist ruhig, deie Strände sind aber leicht auch zu Fuss erreichbar. Baden war ein Traum im seidenweichen Wasser. Wir waren nach zwei Wochen rundum erholt und würden jederzeit wieder in den Avra Studios Urlaub machen.

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.

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!

Ons verblijf was perfect.

We hebben werkelijk nog nooit eerder zo'n mooi en compleet appartement gehad. Van een volledige keukeninrichting met broodrooster, keukenmachine, toaster, citruspers, afwasmachine, koffiezetapparaten om op 2 manieren koffie te kunnen zetten, koffie, thee, chocolademelkpoeder, afwasblokjes, peper/zout, maar ook een wasmachine, strijkbout en plank, 2x badkamers, 2 fohns, Zelfs speelgoed voor onze kleinzoon werd gebracht. En dan heb ik nog niet eens alles genoemd. Daarnaast stond er een gevulde fruitmand, een fleswijn en flesje Raki als welkom klaar.
En dan kwamen de eigenaren ook nog vragen of we iets misten. Nou werkelijk ik kon niets bedenken. Overigens zeer vriendelijke, toegankelijke mensen.
Het balkonhek vonden wij niet helemaal veilig voor onze 1 1/2 jaar oude kleinzoon en hier werd gelijk de volgende dag en mooie oplossing voor gemonteerd. Echt top!

Dit appartement is absoluut een aanrader! Wij geven het een dikke 10!

5 star ratingLovely 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.

5 star ratingBeautiful Apartments Very beautiful, cosy and clean apartments. In a great location of Kalyves town. Bakery and small shops are close by. Staff was super friendly and helpful. They’ve gave us lots of tips and recommendations of places to visit. I would definitely recommend Avra Apartments. It was such a relaxing holiday for us.
