Hi Lilly and welcome,

Holidays are so precious that sometimes we feel it's just too risky to try somewhere new...and after all it suits then why change it.  No doubt you have made many friends in Sidari and that's what pulls you back.  I have friends who return to Sidari year after year for that very same reason.

Please come over to Arillas to see what we are all raving about.  It's only approximately 9 miles from Sidari, not far at all - if you have a hired car you can pop over every day ;-)  It's amazing how many people walk over from San Stephanos for a change of scenery and love it so much they spend half their  holiday in Arillas...then return for their next holiday.

So as Tony says...you're sure to return too :-)

Eileen.

Glad your now sorted Lilly.

It can be a two way swap.:-)   We are always eager to hear recommendations for places to visit in Corfu so any suggestions you care to make will be most welcome.

Welcome Lily...........You are among good friends here on this forum.

We stayed just outside Sidari once & travelled everyday to Arillas. Its just a 15 minute drive away.

Without a doubt, you will love Arillas.

Welcome from Janis too, Lilly - I'm from West Yorkshire and I am an Arilliac!!

Barry and I love it - and you will too - once bitten, etc..

Most of us come on to the forum for our "daily fix" until we can actually go to Arillas in person - and then back on to report how wonderful it was and counting the days until the next time!

Hi Pat/Lilly
Julia & I made three visits to Corfu before we got to stay in Arillas.  We stayed twice at Sidari and on a trip around in a hired car found first San Stefanos and then Arillas.  The beach and sunsets hooked us and the next time we came we stayed at the Horizon - which was really good.
The next couple of visits we stayed at the Kaloudis Holiday Village courtesy of Thomsons (see the link at the bottom right hand side of this page), and have booked there again for September 2010.
You'll gather we are firm fans of Arillas.  Its much quieter than Sidari, only a few shops, but plenty of good places to eat, and lots of good hospitality.
Hope to see you around in Arillas eventually.
Best wishes
Pat
