Arillas on Google Earth

[TerryW]

Hurray!!!!

Google Earth has been updated and Arillas is much clearer. The images are quite old though, about 7 years old probably.

Here is an example

Well spotted Terry!!

It looks like they have covered all Corfu  with this update.!

Just what we where waiting for!!

Hi Terry

Thanks for that.  I have just googled Arillas and it looks great.

Once again you have excelled.

Dimitris, in what year do you think the images were taken? It looks like one floor of the Horizon had been built, and the pool can be seen, thats why I guessed at about 7 years ago so about 2001.

I know I am a bit sad on maps etc, but this is exciting.

I only found the update because I was looking for the location of Karavi island, in relationship to Arillas.

I now need to find Eggy's house so that I can bomb it with water melons. Where can I hire a plane and a pilot?

Eileen! You do know everything

Terry, I will come and help you with the melons

[TerryW]

After looking at Eggy's photo, I think the plane will need to be a Wellington Bomber!!!!

Best chuckle of the day, Terry. Can just see you in full Biggles regalia leaning out of the window of one of the seaplanes Eileen so cleverly found you, bombarding Eggy and Dimitris with mashed water melons and Wegg counting up all the seeds.....

thanks

Just been looking on google earth and compared the photo with the arillas tourist map and sure i have found Mathraki where we will be staying that pool looks inviting already and San Stef doesn't seem too far to walk looks a fair bit longer via the road

I know its so clear.  I can see the B.sun Hotel very well too where we are staying this year.

I even saw Dimitris waving from the Brouklis!   LOL...

Wikimapia.org also have an aerial shot but it is terrible but you can add a comment about Arillas, so far no one has done so, therefore I suggest............................

[Chris & Mark's mum]

You can find out the exact time and date that every ariel view was taken on GoogleEarth and I have actually done it once.......but I have forgotten where the information is stored on the web pages ...Can someone work it out?..Oh I wish I had a brain.........

Hi all!

I see that my uncle's house, next to Zambeta Apartments doesn't have a roof on it, so it was probably taken in 2003.

Luckily our house is not very clear on Google Earth.  This is because it is shrouded in high level netting, put there in order to catch low flying melons!
