We are travelling for the first time in August with our 9 yr old daughter. Any useful information (best places to eat, bus times, boat hire, general costings etc.) would be very welcome.

Hello Lesley,

Everywhere in Arillas is good but of course people have their own favourites. But I can guarantee there is plenty of choice and the prices are not too bad at all.

ONLY 51 sleeps left for me ;)

Hi Lisa

If you trawl through the forum under the different headings you will find a wealth of info and more. What I suggest is to go and sample as much as you can and make your own favourites as that is what a holiday is all about. You will struggle to find a bad meal in arillas and you can get some great set menus for around the 9 euro mark. Perfect for families with a lovely safe beach, you will love it I'm sure. Where are you staying? There is bound to be plenty of reviews on the accommodation pages. Feel free to ask any of us as we are all Arillas 'anoraks!'

Well we are here, right now. Totally biased, but Makris is popular. You have the best fish restauarant in Corfu nearly opposite. We were at Vavilas (hint - that's the name) last night and just bought a new diet book... the Sea Bream blew me away. And had to fight with Thomas to pay enough.

It is a little bit away round the back but for anyone with legs it is ideal. Yes PaulC and Di meluvvers, I still have legs.

maybe not later....

Never stayed at Makris but have spent many hours watching the workk they have done on the place. It looks good and , my opinion , a good location.

The appts will be as good as the neighbours you have. Don't think you will be dissapointed.

Have a goodun.
