Post by: justphil on August 06, 2013, 10:44:29 PM
"Someone who experiences what Arillas offers and as they leave decide to come back."

Tell us all how you would define an Arillas Addict (or Arilliac as we are now known.)

An Arillas Addict is......

An Arillas Addict is ...

someone who checks arillas.com at least once a day, never thinks of holidaying elsewhere and spends most of the year looking forward to spending time in their beloved village.

I think I fit the bill!

That is exactly how we felt and still each year feel the same way.Planning dates for next year while still enjoying that years experience.
Can I be allowed to express one reservation about the terminology.The word "addicts" can be construed as persons who eventually lack judgement.
We all always keep an eye on anything that we think could help Arillas or indeed might affect it adversely.
I would prefer "Committed Arillacs"
Hope this is not seen as negative or too controversial!

An Arillas Addict is someone who books next years return before they have had this years sojourn, only 24 sleeps to 15 nights of heaven.

People who talk about going elsewhere in the world, for a change, but never actually make it, elsewhere.  In fact, they book for next year whilst still on this years holiday.

Haha, we're like Vaughan and Angie!  Keep looking at other options and think we should go somewhere else and then thinking "why?" - Arillas has everything we love - beautiful people, super walks, relaxing beach, enough tavernas to visit a different one every night in our 2 weeks if we wish, everything within close walking distance.....  I would hate to book somewhere else and then find an Irish pub (nothing against the Irish - my mother is one!), signs up advertising sport in ALL tavernas, pictures of touristy Greek food outside tavernas with them fighting to get you in, need I go on?

Arillas has everything we love in a holiday.   A month today!

This Arillas Addict is someone who finds it accidently when looking for a 'cheapy', comes back again 4 months later, then moves over 15 months after that!!

An Arillas Addict = YOU!
If you have visited Arillas, you are one already. If you haven't, just do so, and you'll become one.

An Arillas Addict is the person who has been recognised , by the locals , as a genuine lover of what they, and Arillas, has to offer.
This is why Arilliacs make so many friends here.

And if you are not yet an Arillas Addict the local community together with what Arillas has to offer will both do their best to make you one.

An `Arillas Addict`- is one who has fallen for the charm of a tranquil village in NW Corfu, that captivates you the moment you arrive. It seduces you and takes hold of you, so that you never think of going anywhere else!

Eggy .....think that we saw you in Mon Amour  last Saturday! Your wife was taking a doggy bag home and Nigel commented on that. We were sitting next to you. Would have said hello properly had we known that it was you for sure. Twas only when some other diners said good night to you and addressed you as Wendy and Neil that it clicked and then it was too late!
Title: Re: An Arillas Addict is....
Post by: Eggy on August 08, 2013, 09:08:01 AM
Twas us indeed , Gaye.

Wendy doesn't eat much during an evening. That generous portion of Moussaka was enough for her followng days lunch.
Hope Mon Amour looked after you well, Spiros and all seemed quite chatty that evening.

As the Arillas forum continues to grow it becomes more amazing how you can chat to someone and then find out afterwards you have communicated via one or more postings. Is Arillas full of Arilliacs?
Good wishes to you both - Neill

I would have asked/said hello anyway, just in case - i've embarrassed myself a couple of times by chatting to someone who i thought was someone else! lol

..apart from a few funny looks, no harm done! and it's a bonus when you get the right person! haha

An Arillas addict is someone who like to be dressed or naked, who is not in a hurry, that dream that arillas will not grow up but simply remain as it is.
