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.

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!

Perfect location right by my favourite stretch of the beach. Amazing view from all windows/balconies. Spacious apartment and spotlessly clean. The hosts are so nice and helpful if you need them. Irina brought me a complimentary 6 pack of water which I really appreciate! All windows/balconies have sliding mosquito nets so for anyone with a phobia like me you can be sure there are no bugs whatsoever and you can also have unobstructed view if you want. I was there by myself and I felt really safe and enjoyed my stay so much I can't wait to be back!

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.

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.
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.
Staff were extremely friendly and so helpful, upon check in we were asked if we'd like some information on the area and of course we said yes. We were told nearest supermarket, ATM, best bit of the beach etc
Apartment was extremely clean and a very good size for two of us, bigger than expected. Good amount of plug sockets around the apartment and good lighting throughout.
The cafe downstairs looked very modern and clean
All the balconies overlook the sea and it was so beautiful
Good amenities in the apartment
A pleasant and wonderful stay with very friendly, kind and helpful hosts. The rooms were very clean and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The pool area is all new and cleaned daily. The garden has a beautiful setting with mountain views and stunning flowers, a perfect place to go and relax! The location is great with the beach, supermarket and Kalyves town all on your doorstep. Our car was hired through our hosts which we would highly recommend. It felt like a home away from home!
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.
Beautiful brand new building with amazing views of Kalyves and the ocean. Very well stocked with extra towels and bedding, etc. The staff were all very kind and attentive - Artemis greeted us the first morning and was so helpful with everything, including offering suggestions for sorting out my son's luggage that was lost by the airline and giving us restaurant recommendations. We made amazing family memories at this stunning property!
The hotel location is very good, amazing view to the sea and you can get to the beach in 5 mins. The staff is very friendly and helpful in a few days I made friends here. The siye of the room is very very good with big balcony (all rooms are the same size) and the food is excellent, fresh and delicious. I was amazed, this place exceeded My expectations. 10/10. If I go back to Crete I will definitely go back here.
Panos & Joanna were very friendly & welcoming, the accommodation was nice & clean+ facing the sea, we were having our breakfasts & brunches in Cactus with views to the sea, the staff was very friendly. Also visited two beaches within walking distance. There are a few more places nearby to eat out. It's better to have a car to travel around especially if you want to visit Chania. Parking is available.
Most of the staff is really supportive and friendly. The hotel has a lot to offer - several bars, restaurants, pools (in and outdoor), a spa and a thorough animation program for adults and children alike. The cocktails are great and there are crepes offered at the beach bar which is very nice feature.
Our room was spacious and we had a balcony with sea view (even though we were in the third row).
I absolutely like the fact that they have activities for the kids daily, the kids really love the pool area with ice cream and snacks, the beach was Gorgeous. The food drinks were excellent. The staff and Manager were tremendously very helpful (Evangelia & Harry). The entire resort was family friendly, clean environment and great ocean view. We will definitely recommend to everyone to visit.
Everything! Beautiful villa in a fantastic position for us. Easy walking distance to the beach and able to dip in the sea on our doorstep too. Our hosts provided us with so much and more, couldnt be more welcoming or do too much We know Kalyves well but this find is an absolute gem and we are looking to go back again to stay in this beautiful little villa as soon as we can.
Superb views across the bay, some nice tavernas and coffee shops close by. A 15-20 minute walk into the centre of the village and main beach with all the facilties shops, atms and restaurants on hand. Regular bus service into Chania if you wish to visit this beautiful city, bus stop is right outside apartment. Main YNKA supermarket is only a 5 minute walk away.
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!
Very helpful owners, size of the apartment, individual terrace with sea view and a washing machine for our mid-holiday needs.
We had a perfect stay that helped us discovering a new to us region. Natasa was very helpful.
In Kalyves we could also recommend the restaurant Mythos, were we had several great and affordable dinners.
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!!
Clean, spacious home that is walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The hosts were nice. Kitchen is big, modern, and has everything you need to make full meals at home. The bathroom is modern, with a nice hot shower. Plus, the home has a full-size washer and dryer.
Lovely garden and pool, 5 min walk from a very nice beach (with free parasols and sun loungers at GK in exchange for a low spend at their bar/ restaurant), beach side taverna 10 mins walk, plenty of shops and restaurants in Kalyves, very friendly and helpful owner.
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 travelled as a family of 5 (with our moms and a little baby). Really liked the hotel. The food was amazing (and every day is a little bit different), the staff was very friendly, the beach was great to swim.
The staff were very welcoming and incredibly helpful. In a nice quiet location, very short walks to the supermarket, restaurants and beach. The hotel and room was very well equipped.
Fantastic property just a short walk from the beach and city center but still nicely tucked away from the buzzy street if you want to enjoy a calm and relaxed stay!
