Just wondering if anyone knows what is open in April, in and around Arillas. Restaurants, bars, shops?
thanks Mandy
I've been wondering the very same thing....
if you look on the blog below this..it shows brouklis is open ,as im sure is ammorada,and atki,may-be send eggy a pm and he,ll enlighten you more ...........yammas
Last year in April, the Creperie was open, Captains was and, also the Horizon at some points of the day. The Bakery supermarket is always open as is the one opposite the Armourada.....and while I was there other places gradually opened up. Alex's and Yiota's opened pretty promptly at the start of May.
Out of the village, Night Owl was open and Mon Amour.
...and don't forget Heracles...

Oooooohhhh! It's sounding better by the minute.lol. Getting a bit excited now.
Thank you all. As long as there is some where to eat , drink and the beach it all sounds good.

I'm not sure you will get to the beach much.....I went once last year.....although it is warmer than here, it's not exactly beach weather......well, it wasn't last year....we can always hope for more this year. I went once at the end of April and I swam....but only there for a few hours one afternoon.....
Wouldn't need to swim Sandy. I would happily sit on the beach in my anorak, sipping a tin of Mythos and dreaming, watching the sea crash into Gravia and strolling up and down for hours...
Then off to any one of the open venues for whatever I could find to eat, drink and be merry...

Absolutely phil....I just wouldn't want people to think they will be toasting on the beach every day in April....you may get a couple of good days and that will be a bonus as far as I am concerned at that time of year.
There are two sunbathers on the beach here today!! Rather them than me, although it is a fabulous day, cloudless and sunny with a fresh breeze.
Sorry All - Only just picked this post up.
Not sure what's due to open but Armourada stays open anyway. Akti has been open for drinks. Not sure about Capt's Table.
Iraklis ( Heracles ) has been open most of the time.
Currently open, further afield, are:-
Night Owl - Afionas - Fri/Sat/Sun evenings for food.
Mon Amour - Kavadaddes - Every Evening
Lavendis Bar - Kavadaddes - Evenings for BBQ Souvlaki /chips / Salad.
And... a few places in Sidari. The one we like in Sidari is " Vivias" ( On the outskirts of )
( I think thats how you say it - Vivias before Diellas Supermarket on the right)
They have a special Greek dish every evening and live music on a Saturday Night.
Two guys with guitars and bouzuki and very nice too.
( Plus the goat on a Thursday aint bad or the spit lamb on a Saturday )
Cheers

Wouldn't mind giving that a try on a Saturday even tough its in Sidari. Viv
Is the creperie open yet Eggy? I am sure it was in April last year during the day...
I just had an e-mail from Arillas, and the creperie is open now, but only for drinks so far.
Hi everybody,
Just returned from sunny Arillas yesterday (now back in grey rainy Bedfordshire!!).The creperie was open at the weekend but not Monday or Tuesday and only for drinks. Also visited Armourada and Mon Amour. I think the Marvellous was open for drinks too. Has a perfect week watching the village start to wake up for the summer. Dimitris was working very hard on the bamboo at the front of Brouklis and it is looking lovely. There is still not much beach though (could be very cosy in July and August!!) The weather was gorgeous the Mythos was cold what more could we ask for? Now counting the days on the calendar until 25th May.......
Thanks for the report elsmum. Just cheered me up on a dull and dreary day here in Somerset.
