Our host and his family were wonderful. We had a brilliant stay and were very sad to leave them. They looked after our every need and made us feel so welcome, even including us in a family celebratory BBQ meal. The villa was in a breathtaking location, the pool was amazing and everywhere was spotless both inside and out. It was far better than I had imagined and brilliant value for money. I would recommend hiring a car to future guests, which can be done from the village. The village of Agia Palagia is easy to reach on the 1km downhill stretch but hard work on the way back up. Taxis were reluctant to do the trip due to the steep incline and only went the long way around costing 10- 12 euros a time. When we hired the car we had very easy access to the village and also to some wonderful areas of interest around and about us. I highly recommend visiting Triantafillos at his villas. The people of Crete have all been extremely friendly, welcoming and polite. The scenery is beautiful and the beaches are stunning. Agnati Villas are perfectly placed, only a short transfer from the airport of Heraklion. The village of Agia Palagia caters very well for tourists, it has a wide selection of bars, restaurants and cafes and 3 supermarkets. It has a beautiful safe beach perfect for swimming and pedalos, kayaks and boats can be hired. Go for it and have the perfect holiday.
