We were very pleased with our stay in Porto Kalives. This is aparthotel. We lived in apartment number 27, bearing the name of the Greek god of the sea Pocidon. Very cozy, but quite spacious for two people apartment, located on the 2 nd floor. It has everything you need for comfortable living: a spacious enough for two people bedroom with a very comfortable bed, kitchen with refrigerator, electric cooker, electric kettle and a full set of dishes, etc. But the main thing is the balconies. One of them goes to the back yard, it is filled with aromas of Cretan herbs and plants, with a dominant honey note. And from the other balcony you have a breathtaking view of the sea. When you have breakfast on this balcony, you get the feeling that you live like a god. Other apartments of the hotel are organized in the same way. Oyr apartment was very clean, actually cleaning was done every day. The managers of the aparthotel are very kind and helpful, are always ready to give the necessary information.
Kalyves is an ideal place for a relaxing holiday by the sea, the aparthotel Porto Kalives is at the very end of this picturesque village on the road leading to Chania. There is a lot of taverns and restaurants, in 5 minutes walk is a supermarket, where you can buy everything you need. For those who want to go on excursions, it is recommended to rent a car, because in Kalives we did not find any tour agency. As explained to us, all the excursions are organized through the relevant agencies in Chania. It should be noted, however, that driving on Crete along serpentine-shaped roads requires a solid driving experience. There is a bus communication between Kalives and Chania several times a day. A Taxi station is located in the center of Kalives.
