Good morning from a cloudy and rainy Arillas.
I Just like to inform everyone that even in this kind of weird times of the world some good news do take place in our small village.
Arillas is going to have a pharmacy established!
It is now confirmed by Mr Kyriakos, Owner of Arkokal Travel (http://arkokal.gr/) .
It will be situated next to their office ( EX Irinis Art Shop) .
They are going to open next month ( April 2012) and it's going to be an all year round business .
Another star for our Arillas. It will definitely save time and cash from many of the locals that need to drive away in case of any small medical supplies and of course it makes Arillas more attractive to travelers.
What a great idea. It will be so useful, especially for the locals. Another coup for our lovely village.

Good news indeed Dimitris :-) The convenience of having a local pharmacy will make such a difference for everyone in and around Arillas.

Indeed another feather in the cap for Arillas.

Thanks for the good news Dimitris, what a wonderful asset for Arillas.
Everyone will find it so useful.

Fantastic news Dimitris, such good news for Arillas
That's great news. Just what Arillas needs.
yammassssssssssssssssss,,,good news ,,,,,,,,x
Excellent news indeed....yammas!
Brilliant news! Thank you for sharing Dimitris :)
This is great news for Arillas. All we need now is a Macdonalds and it would be perfect. JOKE lol!!
Good to hear about the pharmacy. Will definitely be a good thing for the village. We will use it.
Paul
Great news about the Pharmacy, now all we need is an ATM or perhaps the Pharmacy could double up and dispense euros along with the medicines and mossie spray!
Sandra and Jim
I could do with a 'dose' of Arillas at this time of year!
Brilliant news - maybe my Phil wont be ill now we have a pharmacy on the doorstep :-)
Its such good news to be getting a chemist in Arillas.Very good for those among us who over indulge on occasions..And also excellent for those of use who forget their medication sometimes.
errrr..... I already have a pharmacy in Arillas itself. Just being there makes me feel well!
I may occasionally need stitches by Tania Papdopolous for dog bites lol, but I have never taken pills, meds etc when I'm there. Now Mythos, garlic prawns, taramasalata at Graziella - ah... all my health needs are already provided for.
Phil
What a great thing for the locals not having to leave out little village to get what they need and great for us lot for things like mozzi killer but I need to know if they will accept British persciptions as my between Pete and me I feel like im lugging have a chemist around in my luggage lol.

Ah viv luvver I so understand how important meds are to folks like you, like Paul's Heather, and like many others. I am such a lucky 60 year old who doesn't need pills, grows a lot of hair (head only before you balk) and has found our Arillas. Jen can't walk but apart from ibuprofen painkillers is the same.
Any development in Arillas is good news. This one is better news. But like many others, I reckon the BEST news would be a new ATM.
take care viv meluvver - one day we'll meet in heaven...
Phil
The pharmacy will be more popular than the NUT.
No No I hear you cry it will not.
But yes it will, because you will be able to get
Sun creams, Sun Block, Mossie Sprays, Creams, Plasetrs and the main reason for shopping there and why it will be more popular than the NUT
THE HANGOVER CURE
I was stopped at corfu airport and all these police surrounded' me my crime I have bad asthma and carry spacer unit and inhalers the guard thought my spacer unit was a gun so I am going to hide it this time.I have on occasions forgotten meds so I will check out the pharmacy when I go .Hopefully They stock all meds does anyone know is it like english chemists.Its strange I am A1 when I am there in corfu its either the mythos the greek wine the abundance of good friends and wonderful sunshine glorious weather need I go on.
lol John. Of course you are right. But from where I perch in Arillas my sun cream is the froth of the top of my Mythos, Jen blocks the sun, the mozzies ignore me, I don't eat cream and I am always plastered.
The worst news is that I haven't had what others call a hangover for many years, in spite of my lifestyle. Maybe Diet Coke is more toxic than you realised ... lol, my tongue has nearly breeched my cheek.
I stand by my view - a pharmacy is a great addition, but I want Irini's art back.
Phil
Great news, I won't need to pack medicines for any eventuality & knock 1kg from my luggage weight!
AnnB
haha ,,annb

Fantastic news - a pharmacy is just what the doctor ordered .... lol!
Thank you for letting us know, Dimitris

The pharmacy opened officially last evening!
There was a nice warming party where all friends and neighbors went to celebrate the grand-opening.
their contact details can be found here

Can't wait to see it and have a good look around.
Hope I never have to use it for medicinal purposes though.
Did they sell lots of indigestion tablets last?
Because everyone seemed to enjoying the food very much! ;)

I saw Dimitris, lunchtime, and this was a super opening evening for some thing which has been needed in Arillas for some time.
Now, locals and guests need to give it as much support as we can to ensure it stays open.

My sister Joyce and I were at the opening last night and thoroughly enjoyed the delicious home made cakes, nibbles and wine which were on offer.
A much needed facility for Arillas...Joyce will no doubt make full use of it for her usual need mozzie treatment. (they love her so much they leave me alone!)
Oops should have said......"last night"... think they will sell reading glasses?

Hey Dimitris
Do you know what time the pharmacy is open on Thursdays, please? Can my Mum combine a Brouklis lunch with a trip to the pharmacy!? ; )
See you soon
M
What a relief when I found out that I had left some of my medication at home, not only was it available it was 1/5th of the price.
Good service.

If she eats and enjoys too much. too quickly, I'm sure Dimitris will supply any indegestion tablets F.O.C

Unfortunately the Pharmacy has now closed. Quite a few people were asking about it when we were there. Hope it opens up again, was a great asset last year.
Val x
Has the Pharmacy reopened in 2014?
Sadly not open.
Nearest ones are Agros , Avliotes or Sidari
Negg
Hi was the pharmacy closed down?
It was wanted by many visitors to Arillas but did not work out. One day the right person will establish a viable pharmacy in Arillas. But the owner will need to be someone who is qualified, and lives on little, but loves the Arillas life a lot.
