We are staying at Kokinos in July.
Does anyone know of a nearby pool we can use ?
Manos advise Tria Adelphia but this seems a bit of a trek with two young kids etc.
Thanks
Tria Adelphia is your nearest pool...it's not far....about 5 minutes walk...
Maybe 10 with small children....
Maybe I'm wrong but looking at this map the Makris pool is the closest. Heading in the other direction towards the beach the Bardis Sun looks closer too.

There is a pool at the apartments behind Vavilas Fish Restaurant, though I think Eileens suggestion may be slightly nearer
Of course Eileen - you are quite right. You have to go past Makris to get to Tria Adelphia. I always forget that pool - it wasn't there the years we stayed at Makris!
Thanks for the info.
Looking at the map, which I should have done in the first place, the pool by the Vavilas Taverna seems to be the nearest.
We always use the pool at the Tria Adelphia, mostly because we enjoy the company there. I recommend you try a few & find the one that suits you & the kids. The Tria pool doesn't have much of a shallow end though they did say they were altering that for this summer. The kids will probably love the pool at the Mirage on the sea front, they have shallow parts & a nice jacuzzi.
You will find you are welcome to use just about any pool in Arillas, just as long as you buy drinks or food at their bar.
Enjoy,

'Have to echo Carol.
We love the pool at the Tria. It is a bit of a trek to the beach 'though, if you decide to spend the morning at the pool and afternoon at the beach, as we often do. Still, there are plenty of 'stop-offs' en-route , if you need some 'shade' (cough!)

The Bardis Sun Studios pool doesnt have a shallow end for kids. I think the Bardis Sun Hotel has a shallow end... Also the Galini have a nice little pool separated from the main pool by railings. I liked that pool - I could float on an air bed knowing it wasnt going to go anywhere like the deep end.
The Rainbow has a lovely children's pool but that would be a bit of a rek round from Kokinos now that Mozzie Alley is impassable.
Where is Mozzie Alley... thats not the shortcut through the greenhouses is it?
I was wondering where that was myself. Although i do not plan on going on a busy day.
Follow the track through between Margarita and I think the Alex apartments and alongside the gravel pit (you know what I mean....Michelle says "it's this thing") and just follow the path that comes up at Perry and Jimmy's....
Very Curious now. Will have to do that Track.
Now I am very interested too..Last year we took what we thought was a short cut past Kokinas, across the stream and past the greenhouses and got told off.. The lady there clapped her hands together and waved at us to go. The other was the path past the hotel opposite the Galini and the froggy bridge. We shall definately have to do a rekky next time.
You can also cut through just past the Makris - you end up on the bridge near the Galini. Walked it many a morning from Kokkinos to the bakery - there and back in 20 mins.
we have done that short cut a few times too.
Glad to find out all these little Tracks. It gives me some Exploring to do when i'm next there.
So long as you don't fall in the ditch or get chased by the dogs....
Hmm. Might have just changed my mind about them Tracks Sandy. lol
or irate local greek ladies!!!
That's done it for us! ditches, dogs, irate Greek ladies ... we'll stay on the main road lol!
No mention of hedges here though?? We do a good "hedge" as you may have gathered!
Best to all
phil and jen
LOL !!!!
I`ve made a note, just in case a hedge is called for!
The one thing that Sandy has omitted to say is the reason it's lovingly known as "Mozzie alley", just try it in the early evening onwards and you will know! Take your repellent with you.
No thanks Ruth.
I think i will give it a miss, Me and the Mozzies don't get on.
Riggers....
