Arillas 2011

[Steph ~]

We first came to Arillas in 2006 for our honeymoon - it was cheap and the accommodation got excellent reviews.  Then we got the Arillas bug and have returned every year and this year will be no exception!   

We just love the people (locals & those you recognise from year to year), slow pace, beach, wonderful food, seeing what's changed (very little!) ...   

Arillas reminds me of the Greece I first came to know & love 30-odd years ago, when I had my first holiday in Crete aged 10 and became a Greece-addict. Arillas is a world away from the thumping streets of various other resorts in the Greek islands. It's a little bit of paradise and I can't wait to get back. Each year it feels like coming home.  Roll on July!

First visit to Arillas last week.
The best things about Arillas......the scenery, the pace of life, the food, the people, watching fireflies on the walk back at the end of the night, traditional tavernas, beer by the beach, and chilling by the pool at the Mirage, where there was always a warm welcome

....and another addict in the making....who appreciated all the magic Arillas has to offer.

And now, thanks to the efforts of kevin.g, Eggy, the generosity of forum members and the intervention of our beloved webmaster, Arillas now has a wonderful new amenity - the bench on the jetty. The spirit of Arillas lives on. Get yer ar**s into gear and book! It will be the best holiday you ever have.

They will love it, you can spend the night in the Coconut and they can go next door to the Malibu, (karaoke) or just be entertained by the crowd in the Nut. Lots of teenagers in there last week.
