Great location right on the beach , near to beachside restaurants 50 - 100 metres to the right and right in the small town centre for more restaurants, cafes and supermarket. Kalyves is a very relaxed place , retaining a traditional feeling not touristy in the slightest. Mixture of nationalities , French, German, Polish, British, Israelis and more. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Two nice swimming pools outdoor and one indoor pool in the spa. Water was a bit chilly but was mid may so not surprising.
Featuring air conditioning, Akti Galinis is located in Kalyves Apokoronas, 17 km from Chania Town. The accommodation comes with a TV. There is also a kitchenette, equipped with a fridge.

The apartment was in a brilliant location and provided everything that we needed for our 3 night stay. Pantelis, the owner made us very welcome and was very friendly. He was brilliant in helping us with our onward travels, a very big thank you from us.

I was actually looking only for a small apartment to sleep 2 days next to chania, and when i came to the apartment i was surprised how big it was, its much bigger than it looks on the photos! also we had a balcony with a view over the whole ocean in front of us, so beautiful. good shower, comfortable beds, very clean. the man on the reception was also very friendly. all this for such a cheap price, wow!!
Located 100 metres from the beach, Cloudberry is located in Kalyves in Chania. It offers free WiFi in all areas and has a garden. Each apartment includes a patio or balcony overlooking the sea.

Great place to stay with family for your calm vacation. To mention the main benefits of the place:
1. Clean apartment stuffed with all things needed for your stay (everything available if you want to cook). You can feel yourself as at your own residence house not far from the sea :)
2. Very friendly and kind stuff. We were welcoming by amazing person Chrisa who shared with us lots of useful tips (where to eat/where better to go/where to shop etc) She was very responsive and helpful in case of questions from our side during the whole stay.
3. Great green territory with very clean swimming pool with lots of available places and nice view to the sea (acceded expectations)
4. Very good sand beach and not crowded at all (we were coming at 9am and almost all of sun beads were still available). You can take sun-beads with umbrella with deposit for 10 Euro for which you can order anything you want from the bar.
5. Not far from the beach. It was 5 minutes to get to the beach by foot, but to get back around 10min, because you have to go uphill (we took it as benefit to have exercise not to get fat after vacation :))
6. The biggest supermarket of Kalyves on the way to the beach which is super convenient as you don’t have to go somewhere separately to find good products (btw avocado and peach was really delicious from there).
Thank you very much for our amazing vacation! I would love to come back one more time!
Offering a pool, the family-run Dimitra Studios is located in the village of Kalyves within walking distance of traditional taverns, cafes and a super market.

Dimitras was a beautiful place to stay - clean and comfortable with lovely attentions to detail. The roof terrace was a highlight for us. Dimitra was so friendly and helpful too, a great place to stay.
Boasting mountain views, Thamirakis Studios offers accommodation with balcony, around 70 metres from Hermans Beach.

Superb location - right on the beach! It is not the main beach, so it is not too busy, and you could find a free lounger most of the time.
It is not a luxury hotel, but simple, clean and well equipped. We hardly cooked for ourselves though, because there are many cheap restaurants within walking distance, which offer good Greek cuisine.
Kalyves is an authentic Greek village, within easy reach of Chania and Rethymno and a good starting point for many day trips in Western Crete.
Totally recommend - but do get a sea view room!
Just 100 metres from Souda Port, the family-run Parthenon Hotel is 4.5 km from the centre of scenic Chania Town.

Great value for money (not a luxurious room but good for what we paid) and we had a nice view from the balcony. The staff were nice. The location is good with some restaurants and shops nearby (e.g., pharmacy, grocery store).
Facing the beachfront, Aloe Boutique Hotel & Suites - adults only offers 5-star accommodation in Almirida and features a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre and terrace.

Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Nothing too much hassle for them. Really pleasant. It was my friends birthday one day during my stay and they helped with a bottle of Prosecco to make it special for her!

I think it is not a 5 start hotel.
I think it is not a 5 start hotel.
The rooms have no noise cancellation from the outside world.
The humidity is high and they look different than the picstures in booking.
They are probably 3-4 star bungalows not hotel rooms.

The hotel was lovely with very good all inclusive. The TV dosen't show English channels except for BBC News. Right on the beach with the hotel providing free sun beds & unbrellas. The sea was very cold & the beach very course. Not much in the village. You will need a car to get around or a taxi.

The owner is a very lovely lady. She even let me stay over the check out time on my last day, which was just perfect! It is by the seaside so the view is very pretty! You can also go to the little greek town center by foot. The beach is also very close and tavernas too. Supermarket is 1min away by car so the location is perfect!

Kalyves is a traditional Cretan seaside town, with so many good & well priced tavernas to choose from. Our favourites were Elena's and Mythos, both right by the sea. The beaches are lovely and clean and not too busy.
We have been visiting Kalyves on and off since 1990 and it really hasn't changed that much in all this time - it has the same charm now as it did then.

Travelled early May and loved the very relaxed feel to the village. Lots of places to eat delicious Greek food all reasonably priced. Lots of shops and supermarkets. Nice sandy beach too. Drinks in the bars were very reasonable and there were bakeries which opened early morning so you can buy freshly made pastries for breakfast. Totally delightful place.
The hotel, staff and location were absolutely superb. Murielle and Penelope, who worked on the front desk, couldn’t do more for us. All the staff were so friendly and professional. The river / estuary running next to the hotel was delightful. We spent time on our balcony soaking up the sunshine watching the fish playing in the current. The beach and local harbour made this a lovely location to holiday. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is thinking of visiting Crete. 😁
My husband and I loved that it had the option of being all inclusive. Drinks, breakfast, lunch and dinner! They created a cute honeymoon decor for us in our room and the rooms where great! Very lively place at 9pm they had some sort of live music out by the pool. The hotel staff was super accommodating in arranging anything we needed and helpful with information. We didn’t have kids but this hotel sparked with kid friendly options and it was so fun to watch families enjoy themselves.
Location - literally just around the corner from the beautiful gently sloping sandy beach and all seafront restaurants and bars.
Host - Ioanna was lovely, gracious and very accommodating - I didn't arrive until nearly 22:00, and Ioanna offered for a member of her family to pick me up from the bus stop near the village on the main road to Chania.
Apartment - a little basic, but ok for my very short stay. All the usual self catering facilities provided.
This is our second time visiting Kiani Beach and the first time with our young child. It did not disappoint. The facilities are great and looked after very well. The whole place is very clean. The restaurants offer good choices for all tastes. The staff look after you very well. The VIP upgrade is worth it if you plan on drinking cocktails (3 a day covers the cost) or using the spa or will be a heavy user of the Wi-Fi.
1) very good location. The hotel is located in bay (from one side you can see Chania airport, from other - Kalyves), hence sea is very calm. Also, there is no big hotels nearby, therefore beach zone is almost empty.
2) very good food. The variety of food is impressive. orange fresh each morning. I remember super with 5 different types of meat and red fish.
3) very comfortable for families with children
They take pride and put great care into the property. There are newer renovations, though honestly we didn’t notice. Everything looked great and the rooms were clean with comfy beds. The balcony view was fantastic and it is in close proximity to great places to eat (try Cactus) by the sea. A supermarket and Elliotis beach are within walking distance. A quiet stay with friendly staff!
Great location (not far away from the Chania airport, nice beach and some restaurants very close). The host family was really friendly and helpful. We have received nice welcome.The possibility of renting a car at the place is a plus. The room with a nice terrace you can have breakfast on. Very clean and quiet place. Friendly atmosphere. The swimming pool is available to all guests.
A wonderful family-run hotel right on the beach at Kalyves complete with taverna, bar, cafe and a shop with all the essentials, all on the same strip. As a guest you also have access to the sunbeds and the welcoming hospitality of the owners! Great food, clean and comfortable rooms and of course you can't beat the amazing location.
Beautiful apartment with a view of one of the most lovely seas we’ve ever seen. Family run by very kind people. Clean, organized and stocked with everything necessary to cook a nice meal. In addition to all of this, there were boxes full of beach gear and books available for guests to enjoy. Thank you for a memorable trip!!
Very good location, great views over the bay and just a short walk down to the beach. Very quiet location with a large lawn with sun loungers. I had stayed here a few years ago, the new owners renovated the place. The kitchen facilities are small, but perfectly adequate. Everything is new and spotlessly clean.
It is located in quiet location. When going to beach, that is quite close and very nice, you need to walk on main road so be careful. Unless you use car, it is possible to walk to close Almyrida or Kalyves for restaurants and shops. Beaches at both villages are a bit crowded but not so bad.
We loved everything about this house! Beautiful, clean, safe, private and a three minute drive to an amazing beach and fantastic restaurants. Manos was so helpful with information about the island and questions we had about the house. Nothing negative to say. Highly recommend!!!!
Nice cosy serviced apartment with balcony that looks over the sea with a cafe conveniently attached to the building. Great location for driving to multiple sightseeing opportunities and easy distance to Chania and walking distance of Kalyves. Recently refurbished
The apartment had a nice bedroom with balcony and a smaller kitchen and living room. It was well equipped.
Parking was right outside and it is a short walk to the centre of the village and even closer to the beach which is just across the road.
we have stayed here 5 times and it really is the best location in Kalyves. You walk out the back door down a little path and you are on the beach which is gorgeous. Very near to Tavernas and shops. Comfortable rooms and lovely balcony.
We did not stay at Thamirakis as our room was not available, instead we were moved 1,2km away to the edge of the village. The place was very nice though, right on the beach, so no complains here.
This is such a beautiful villa, perfectly positioned in Kalyves to make for a perfect, relaxing holiday!
Kostas & Maria are warm, welcoming hosts and have provided everything you need.
Perfect location on the beach in Kalyves, two balconies with lovely views of the beach and Sousa bay. Apartment was spacious and exceptionally clean. Lovely owners
