I must congratulate Dimitris on the production of the new Interactive Map. I only noticed it today and it may have been available for a few weeks, but its a great way to see the locations of Hotels etc in Arillas.

Fantastic map. Thanks Dimitris. Viv
Just had my first flight over Arillas ?
Interactive map fantastic
off to book my next flight
Fabby map Dimitris.How do you find the time to do all this?
PS. Thanks Terryw for highlighting it.
That is fantastic Dimitris. Sandy where is your house on it? x
Up past Villa Linakis...the furthest red spot to the right. It's called Kouklospito (Dolls House.....partly because it's the smallest house up there and of course, Joyce and I are the dolls...lol!!!)
Got it Sandy, you must be buzzing!
Well done dimitri! You got my place on there too, even tho you probably didn't know it. Thanks.
Maggie
is yours one of them near the reclamation yard?, we saw a number of them being built last year just after we missed you.
Mick
ps. happy crimbo.
Mick, look directly undr villa linakis on the picture. It's one of those ones. There are more right behind anaplasis, they were being done this summer. Ours is on top of the hill tho.
Merry Christmas to you and Mary, maybe we will see you next year!. Maggie.x
Maggie,
I know where you are now, we will be over at end Sept for 3 weeks, if your around let us know.
Mick
love the map... its brilliant!
I would love to see the interactive map in a chronological order showing how Arillas has developed over the last 30 to 40 years.
For example maps showing hotels and restaurants that were in existence in 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2005.
Because I am a newcomer to Arillas it would be nice to see how Arillas has developed and the map would be a good way to show it.
How about it Dimitris? It would stop you from being bored between nappy changes.
TerryW
I,m very interesting in something like that but I have to say it is not very easy,
The best way to create something like this, is to develop a software that users from our website can interact by adding their own content ( for example wile they are @work).
If anyone has anything in mind I would be happy to implement it on our website.
Happy New Year to everyone again and again !!!
Today is becoming a very good day. First the Arillas song driving to work and now another brilliant map is available on the forum.
Have a look at the "Arillas Googlemap" either from the menu or here ....

I think that the amount of work that Dimitris is doing to enhance the forum is fantastic. He has combined his aerial photographs with Google map software and has come up with a map that is just amazing.
Try the zoom function ( the + symbol ) when you view the map and see how you can see more detail and pan around the map. I doubt if there is any other holiday forum, anywhere on the internet that has interactive maps to this standard, and I would not be surprised to see holiday companies doing similar things on their web sites.
Efkharisto Dimitris, its brilliant.
TerryW
Well done! that is brilliant
Bet
I love that map, keep checking to see everything is where it should be...LOL
I have to agree, another great piece of work.
Well Done!
Riggers..
Brilliant! I can zoom in on all I want to see. (unfortunately not close enough tho.)lol.
I think the new interactive map is a very useful asset for new visitors to Arillas. I am a newcomer and I can see how useful the map could be, to give prospective visitors an indication of locations of hotels, restaurants, shops and the beach etc. It could also be used to show routes to various places. I have created a "demo" video that hopefully shows the route from Kaloudis Village to Brouklis. I have had to use the "hand" cursor to show the route.
It needs a lot of work yet, but sound could be added ( ie directions) and text instructions.
Just click on link below to view.

That's really good Terry x
I thought my eyes were playing up Terry... You photo kept changing... I hope that is your other half... or am I seeing things
Very well done Terry.
Can you do the route with a large Mythos that hand without spilling any. lol
Yes its Helen, both photos were taken in Brouklis.
If anyone else want to do it, just download a free or trial version of a gif editor like the one at http://www.gif-animator.com/, add two photos ( they have to be small in size ) and save. Then upload for profile as usual.
It really is easy, come on do it, so we can all flash on the forum.
I might try that riggers. Also a return route via some hedges, I think Lindypops could help me with that one.
Indeed Terr,lol. I do believe there is a very comfortable hedge near the bakery! Dy`a know, I could brain him,lol.
Very nice Terry!!
now you deserve to see this map
http://www.arillas.com/page/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,240/lang,en/
Have fun!
Perhaps you can show on this map how we can walk to the double bay from the narrow path.
Love the map Dimitris... great to see just how far we walked to the seat on the top..
That's an interesting view Dimitris. It helps to put everything in it's place if you know what I mean!
Seeing your photo has just reminded me of a very hot day a few years ago when Lefteris led Keith and I up a hill at the back of the church at Afionas. Once at the top we then climbed up on top of a water tank from where we could see the most wonderful 360 deg view. I must attempt to find the path in May...when it's cooler!
Eileenxx
That's great Dimitris, x
Its really good to see views of Arillas from different angles. I will have a go at showing the walk Dimitris, although I haven't a clue where it is. It will be fun finding out though.
These maps are great, please keep them coming.
Hi Eileen, I know the path you mean, it's a bit of a hike and I never got to stand on top of the water tank lol, will try it again in May as it's well worth it when you get to the top. Viv
LOL...it helped that one strong man was on top of the water tank pulling me up and the other was at the bottom of the ladder shoving me up!!! Quite made my day ;-)
Eileenxxx
Do the strong men stand there all day or do you have to take them with you Eileen?
LOL.... :-o :-o :-o
Eileenxxx
LOL Sandy, Negg that's the totty we want photos of, Eileen's pull n pushers! xx
Some of you may have seen this before but something like this, for Arillas, could be the next project for Dimitris.
It is a Digital Virtual Tour of Corfu town.

Terry
That is really good. I think we must have walked around most of Corfu town.But obviously missed quite a bit. Have to get the old legs working again.
Paul
That's brilliant Terry
We have been up and down all them streets a million times and always end up in the same place.
We love Corfu town.
Amanda
That was really worth seeing, Terry. loved the panorama.
Did you notice that you have to drug it to explore??
lol
Phil
I think that http://www.digitalcorfu.com/vtour.aspx?lang=en&bm=0&id=45 is better than a guide book, you get the map thats zoomable, the virual video to have a good look about, and a written description of the building/area.
It would be nice to be able this available on a hand held device, whilst in Corfu town. A bit like sat nav with videos.
A great link Terry, thanks for posting it.
It's murder trying to make arrangements to meet up in Corfu town, inevitably someone in the party gets lost! I think you should make the hand held device and hire it out to day-trippers.
After reading so much about Rouvas restaurant we have decide to visit in May, but all the directions I've read are very complicated. Now that I've seen the location on the map it should be no problem now.
Eileenx
I've just found this Terry, Great. I fel like I've just been there. Thanks.
