The communal areas of Panorama Village have been carefully designed to complement the 19 apartments of the development. Local and natural materials like wood, stone and roman plaster were used to blend in with the natural surroundings.

Located at the entrance of Souda Bay, Kalyves is known for its famous Kasteli hill, where the ancient city of Ippokoronio was built, featuring Byzantine style ruins, monuments and monasteries. Kalyves, a place of touristic and historic interest, is a preferred destination for both Greek and non-Greek visitors.

The village was named after the makeshift huts that Arab pirates built during their invasion in 828 AD. According to another version, the name comes from the huts that farmers used to build close to their fields.

In antiquity we come across Kalyves in the texts of historian Strabo, who refers to the village as Amphimatrion. Kissamos, one of the two ports of the ancient city of Aptera, was located nearby. The archaeological site of Aptera, containing the city’s wellpreserved ruins, is a stone’s throw northwest of Kalyves.
