[where you traveling from] and what time do you land .we land at 15-10pm from glasgow. reason for asking is if there are loads of flights coming in at that time or around i will know ill be hanging around the airport waiting on other flights .cheers davy

We're flying in from Gatwick, I think we arrive about 2pm local time, and will be stopping at Jimmy and Perrys, but frequenting the Rainbow pool/bar.

Say hello should you find us.

Has someone warned you about Corfu Airport !!! its chaos - but transfer time
1 hour ish by taxi, 4 hours by coach with all drop offs !!!
Title: Re: Only Days to go!
Post by: angiem on April 25, 2008, 03:05:38 PM
It depends if Arillas is the first or last drop off point. We always ask, and if the answer is 'last', we get a taxi!

Talking of drop offs if staying in Arillas does the transfer coach go through Sidari and San Stef to do drops before Arillas or does it take the back road to Arillas and San Stef missing out Sidari ? PS we are going with thomson

Last October we did Thomson to Kaloudis, and the coach transfer was via Paleokastritsa and Arillas was first stop. Not too bad...

The only other time we did package, the coach went via Roda etc and dropped us in Sidari, where we stood waiting for a minibus for an hour at 7am having been awake all night. Transfer took 3 hours. We swore never again, and usually get a taxi.

Good luck - hope it's Paleo route.

Ang, I'm so glad for you. I can't imagine a whole year without going to Arillas. Somehow it makes you strong enough to face all the rest of the c**p that faces you. Sadly we won't meet you in forum corner - we can't go until July.

Have Thalassa's stamna - it is very authentic and delicious.

Best wishes

hi holiday girl

you'll love kaloudis, right by the beach and has everything you could want. Please mention phil and jen when you visit Anna. She will smile and say "Mythos and Amstel?" bet you! Just say "have them on the bar at 2.30 on 7th July." But then she already knows....

Have a great holiday (you can't fail though)

Phil

Hi Martyn

We'll see you there, as I said already we fly in on the 5th and are staying at Perry and Jimmys.
We fly from Gatwick at 06.20, getting to Arillas about lunch time fingers crossed.

Don't be a stranger - say hi

Post by: holiday girl on April 27, 2008, 07:48:59 PM
Thanks phil, we are reasured by your message, were'nt sure how good the kaloudis was.  We have found Thomsons dreadful to deal with on booking this holiday.

Spoke to Jimmy and Spiros at the Rainbow on Monday and they seemed to think that the Manos transfers to them will come direct to Arillas this year....but I guess we have to wait and see!
