A diverse and enchanting Greek gem
Experiencing traditional Cretan life is always a pleasure, but experiencing it in a village framed by mountains and lush woodland gives the trip another dimension. Located in western Crete and surrounded by the rich vegetation of the Apokoronas region, Kalyves boasts an enviable location with the White Mountains as a backdrop. It's this magnificent setting that ensures Kalyves holidays linger in the memory.
The fishing village’s peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for those looking to relax, with all amenities close to hand for an easy life. With calm waters, Kalyves Beach complements the village perfectly – it’s clean, sandy and has Blue Flag status – while the resort also makes an ideal base for exploring other similarly enchanting villages in the region, such as Almyrida and Plaka. All of which makes holidays to Kalyves rather special, as you’ll realise the minute you’re welcomed into the village.
