First of all, Kalyves is a very cute village. The people are so nice and friendly, everybody speaks English. And the food is amazing.
We rented a car to trip around. Kalyves is easy to access, about 25mn from the center of Chania. You can park your car on the west side by the sea, or in the big parking lot od Kalyves beach. Both options are safe and free and a a few dozens of meters away from the property.
The property is very well situated. It has its foot on a small beach, it almost feels like a private beach. The bigger beach is a few meters away, which is also cute and never gets crowded.
The staff is lovely. We arrived quite late but we were well welcomed. The appartment is clean and well maintained. We took the village view, so expect some noise by night from the cars passing by. The appartment has an AC but not in the room. You have a fan instead. Other than that, everything was spot on.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay as a couple and I highly recommend this property.
