Prices in Arillas

[Ellieholl]

Hello people
I am going to Arillas in 3 weeks time for the 1st time after holidaying in San Steph. for the last 3 yrs which has been absolutely fabulous.
I keep hearing horror stories about the prices in Greece this year due to the econmic position.
Has anyone been to Arillas in the last few weeks and if so what were the prices like?
Any information would be appreciated to give me an idea on how much holiday cash to take.
Staying at Kaloudis or Splish Splash - very confusing. Any comments on apartments?
Thank you
Eleanor

Hi.  Fifth time in Arillas this year, stayed at the Kaloudis for the first time in May. Block A apartment 1 at the top.  Apartments ok, cleaned most days. Lovely & peaceful, gardens are well maintained. Pool meals very nice as were breakfasts.  The complex also has a supermarket which was reasonably priced & run by a lovely pleasant lady.  I never noticed the prices increasing to be honest in the resort itself, 2 euro for a beer @ malibu.  The price of meals out seemed the same, certainly not put up & in fact I thought there were some really good offers.  The breakfast deal at the marina for 5 euros was excellent.  I hope you enjoy your stay in Arillas I'm sure you will we love it there,  roll on September for my next visit staying at the mirage

Thanks for that..... all sounds good.  Glad to hear the prices haven't changed much and apartments are quiet.  Maybe we will be converts to Arillas...... roll on 6th July.  Have you stayed at the Mirage before?

Hi.  Yes stayed there last year, very nice, big & well equipped, again very quiet & peaceful.  The Kaloudis also have a quiz night which is good fun.  I'm sure you will be converted during your stay in Arillas, we have been coming for about five years.  We hadn't heard of the place when we had our first visit, staying at the Makris but absolutely loved it & haven't wanted to go anywhere else since.  Lovely chilled out place with great people.

Virtually on the beach and a couple of hundred yards to the centre of Arillas.

Enjoy.

Thanks Angie - really looking forward to it.  Everyone on the forum is so enthusiatic about Arillas and although we have holidayed in San Stef the last 3 years we have never ventured to Arillas for some reason.   Can't wait to feel the sun rays, chill out and eat good food.

Hi, Arillas is heaven on earth.  Kaloudis do fab food and bar snacks, the whole place is amazing, walk down the hill and you must try the breakfast in the Marinaki, amazing value, also visit George and Kinga in the Malibu bar, plus eat at the Amourada and Brouklis, everywhere is fab, pay a visit to Nikos and his wonderful views at the top of the donkey track. The Atki do great pizza with a chilled out vibe............................shall I go on ?

I stayed at the Mirage last year & was very happy! couldnt get booked in there this year as no single rooms available so Im staying at Brouklis but I will be a frequent visitor to Mirage's lovely pool!

[Ellieholl]

Great info.... thanks everyone.  Can't wait to be there.

Just flicked through last years diary and prices are the same this year. Main course starts at around 7 euros. 2 course meal deals can be found for 10 euros. large beer from 2 euros. vodka & tonic ( which is extremely large) 4.50 at the coconut. cocktails 5 euros (4 at happy hour). prices of the excursions all the same.
all cheaper than at home!!

We also found the prices similar to 2008 and 2010, we did find that the hire of the good ship Olga (10hp) from the beach for the day was 5 euros cheaper than 2010. The fuel we used was also less than 2010, though that could be down to my pedestrian driving.

2.5 weeks in, I can report that Mythos/Draught RI will cost you 2.5 or 3 euros.
Long drings (ha ha) are usually 4 euros, but so bladdy large you can swim in them.
We paid 5 for Black Russian in the Nut in 2008 and the same last night.

The spectacular food is the same price as well. 3 course special at Graziella is 11 euros.

Don't let the UK press frighten you. Arillas is even better value for money now.

I would say that prices are no different to three years ago or even longer. The only expensive item is petrol.

[mickandsue]

And don't forget last year the pound got you about 1.12 euros
Today at the marina 1.26 euros

We paid 5 for Black Russian in the Nut in 2008 and the same last night.

I hope you didn't let him take Jen home, Phil.
But..... If he took you home then I would be a worried man.
And.... was it the same guy who was around in 2008? He must be wearing well
