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!!

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.
Only 8 metres from the beach, Maria's Apartments is a self-catering accommodation located in the seaside village of Kalyves, in Chania region. It offers a garden with BBQ and free Wi-Fi throughout.

Maria's place was my favourite. We searched something close to the sea and away from city centre. Everything was great, Maria is so kind and warm person. If I have to rent a room again, I"d choose Maria anytime.
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!
Perfect Cretan working village by the sea.Great...

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.
Beautiful family run traditional apartments ,the view is spectacular but there is a hill to climb … very central location but in a lovely quiet spot,the apartments are spotlessly clean and Valerie the owner goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable and that you have a great holiday ( even bringing fruit and cake for my little granddaughter) , we used a local taxi company recommended by Valerie and they were brilliant at picking us up and taking us into Chania for a change of scenery
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.
1. Location is good in general - Chania (nice city) is 15 mins by the car and Kalyves itself has a good location where you can reach many interesting places.
2. Clean room and cleaning service (every day!) is great. Although they could take a bit more care on the surrounding territory as well. The beautiful blue table with red chairs (on the photos) was always dirty
3. Nice Sea view from the balcony and the blue (dirty) table
4. Good barbecue area.
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Everyday they helped us with organising transport to the main city, Chania. The beach is literally a few meters away from the hotel and there is plenty of sun beds and a bar nearby. The beds were very comfortable and we really did sleep well. Great variety of drinks at the bar and the bar staff were excellent! The overall setting is perfect for an older couples/family holiday! Would definitely recommend!
Located an easy walk to an excellent beach the apartments are a real jewel in Kalyves. The property is run by the family who own it and cannot do to much to help, they are always on hand. The bungalows are well appointed and spacious with easy access to the lovely pool. Although the beach is nearby we didn't want to venture from the grounds as there was everything there we wanted. A thoroughly relaxing experience. (They'll even rent you a car!)
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.
I loved this hotel. This was my first all inclusive holiday in many years and it was great. I loved the staff and various activities, the hotel itself had a nice atmosphere and I felt good. It is mostly a family hotel but we enjoyed our stay as two friends as well. There are many beautiful places in Crete that are accessible from the hotel and also nightlife and parties in a city close to the hotel (Chania).
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!
The studios offer everything you need for a low price. Next to little private beach. Daily room service. Taverns, supermarkets, lovely shops, transport in walking distance. Good acces from Chania Airport. Great base for day-trips. Very friendly host and staff. Not touristically overloaded with a good international mix. Beautiful!
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.
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!!!!
Apartment was clean frequently, bathroom was freshly renewed and nice. Kalyves as a place is small and quiet, lovely beach and good restaurants. Close to chania and a great place as a base for trips to different parts of the island. Would definitely come back :-)
Great location to access bars, restaurants, Kalyves town and beaches..all walking distance...Hosts great and very helpful and available. Oh and a sea view, and a big supermarket! Lovely little restaurant next door, belonging to the hotel available 8am - 11pm.
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.
The hotel is located next to the shallowest part of the city's beach, which is very convenient for children or people with disabilities. Well, or in principle during a storm.
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
