All of them you wont go wrong.
We stay at the Rainbow (Dionyssos I & II, & Nafsika Thomas cook)
Allways looked after By Jimmy and Vicky, about 500 metres from the front.
Have stayed at Tria Adelphia on the edge of the village, quiet but always booked up, Philip and Helen are super hosts. (Thomas cook)

Akti Arillas is also a good destination stayed there a couple of times
once again you will be made welcome and well looked after. (Thomas Cook)

Makris on the back road quiet near to the Tria Adelphia not stayed there but it hads excellent reviews, (Thomas cook)

Kaloudis on the front, A firm favourite with visitors book early
First class reviews. (Thompsons)

Mathraki excellent venue another gem in the Arillas crown. (Thompsons)

There is also the Independent option. Arillas offers a warm welcome wherever you decide to stay. but beware once you have visited Arillas  the MAGENT WILL DRAW YOU BACK  AGAIN AND AGAIN

Hi thanks for that, the problem I'm getting at minute is the flights from Manchester, all late flights. May look at booking independtly, see what the costs are.

Book Easyjet as soon as they release and worry about accommodation later. There is PLENTY to choose from in May as its not that busy and its ALL good.
Saying that Easyjet flight back is not a good time, going out its late afternoon

Would echo what John said - lots of fab places to stay as a package but do also price up booking independently. 

Just checked the Thomson site and there are daytime flights on a Friday from Manchester so not sure why you're seeing late ones.  They leave at 6am, which would mean you are in the resort around lunchtime, and return at 12:25 so home early afternoon.

People will offer advice and contact details on here if you're interested in booking independently.  In terms of flight only options, some flights are already on sale for summer 2015 (Jet2 and Thomson) while others are yet to be released (Monarch, EasyJet, Ryanair) so you may wish to wait a while. That said, I've just booked flights for summer 2015 at the cheapest I've ever got them, with Jet2 (20% off) - they fly twice a week from Manchester, giving more options and times are ok too (out in the afternoon, return in the evening). Prices are around £260 per adult incl baggage in July.
Happy hunting!

Good call is this one Steph !  Cheers !
Just looked at JET2 from Manchester for us next May and it will only cost us about £10 each more than we paid for Easyjet last year. Also the flight times are an hour and a half earlier which suits us.
I think we will book this over the weekend :-)  . Will mean taking the oldest out of school for 2 days instead of 1 though.
The sale ends next Tuesday everyone so I would look at grabbing a deal here .....
