We had a wonderful 2 weeks stay at Stelios’ & Natasa’s place! The apartment is beautiful and spotlessly clean, just as in the photos, kitchen was well stocked and Natasa awaited us with some fruits and local alcohol ☺️ location is close to Chania and LOTS of amazing beaches and things to see. Communication with Natasa was great, lots of great local recommendations. We hope to be back soon!

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.

The AVRA apartment is one of the best Airbnb we have ever stayed. The hosts are friendly and welcoming. Great ocean view from the kitchen and balcony. Fully equipped kitchen. Walking distance to beaches, supermarket and restaurant. We wish we could stay longer.

Zentrale Lage. Keine 10 Minuten Fußweg zu Restaurants, Strand und Supermarkt.

Gastgeber unheimlich nett. Wir haben viele Tipps bekommen.
Extra Strandtücher und Sonnenschirm haben wir auf Nachfrage gestellt bekommen!

Appartamento pulito e confortevole, in una zona molto tranquilla. Stelios è stato un host super ospitale, gentile e simpatico. Consigliato per chi vuole un alloggio lontano dalle zone turistiche affollate.

Was a great stay, the apartment was very clean and welcoming, with extra handy pieces already in the apartment such as coffee, fruit, detergent, and a bottle of wine! Was a seamless stay, very easy and relaxing. Thank you both for Greta communication from start to finish too.

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.

Great, quiet place to stay in Crete. The view from the place is beautiful (I could stare at it all day) and there's plenty of cafés and places to eat nearby.

Hosts were great and communicative and gave us recommendations where to go. Fatastic trip - thanks both!
