Experience a living environment designed to help you decompress and rediscover your centre. 196 Kalyves is more than a residence; it is a wellness-focused destination where the horizons of the Aegean meet uncompromising design.

Surrounded by the dual power of mountain and sea, these spaces are crafted to be your personal anchor. Whether you are engaging with the authentic rhythm of the village or retreating into the quiet harmony of your home, every element is curated to ensure you leave the modern world behind.

These 58 curated spaces are rooted in authentic Cretan materials with a modern interpretation. The views are framed, not interrupted, by sleek, floor-to-ceiling glazing, turning the sea and the Lefka Ori mountains into living art.

Exteriors are grounded in cool sandstone, while interiors are finished with muted tonal ceramics in veined Travertine. This is a design built for durability, light, and calm.

Kalyves Village offers a rare blend of traditional Cretan life and modern sophistication. Framed by the gentle Xydas River, the village provides a tranquil, grounded escape far from the pace of major tourist hubs. It is the perfect destination for those seeking an authentic Mediterranean lifestyle among stone-built tavernas and vibrant local heritage.

The village features expansive beaches with golden sands and calm, shallow waters that stay warm well into the evening. The atmosphere is defined by profound peace, ideal for “slow travel” enthusiasts. Kalyves seamlessly connects relaxed seaside afternoons with premium waterfront dining and local wines.
