Hi there Eastie,
We stayed at the Akti Arilla Hotel last September & there weren't any TV's in the rooms.
Downstairs in the foyer/reception area there were a couple of screens which - if I can remember had Sky Sports.
This may well have changed & I couldn't say about the other hotels - but hopefully someone will help you out with that one.
The bars (most of them) show Footie matches on Sky & other sports events & movies as well.
Hope that helps?

Marvel has tv`s in rooms along with Arillas Inn Apts...only english are News channels, plus some with english subtitles (Italian I think)
-
Kaloudis have TV's in the rooms. Not many English channels but we've never wanted to watch TV anyway.

Thetis Hotel have Tv's, Sky News & True Movies are English channels, and you invariably find a lot of other programs with subtitles on the other channels. Sometimes its just nice to nestle down in bed in the afternoon for 5 mins, with the tv on in the background to send you off to sleep, after a days hardwork sunbathing...

people watching is far more interesting than watching tv!!
the akti has a big screen tv for sport and a smaller one by the pool bar dont know about anywhere else though

I agree with Ger - never felt the need for a telly in Arillas altho' we do usually take a portable DVD player for the kids to keep them entertained while we have a tipple before going out on an evening.

Beats me as to why you would want to watch any telly when there is all that sunbatheing to do resturants to eat at.....COCONUT bar drinks to drink...walking around and (dare i say it) SHOPPING to do.....

me .i cant wait to get away from the tv ...to much to see and do in arillas ...........yammas

We had a tv in the BS Hotel... came in handy to watch for the news (BBC world) and some films in english with greek subtitles.... especially as we had some bad days with thunderstorms etc. couldnt go on the beach etc. so it was nice to curl up and watch with a large metaxa!
Did have a laugh at the Greek tv though... their Good Morning programs... hilarious the way the girls dress in plunging necklines doing cooking in the kitchen...Dorita and I had a good laugh about that... and the camera techniques need working on too... they kept zooming in on her "frontage".... very funny!

Goodness! That sounds a bit saucy Blonde Girl - lovely to have you back by the way.

Didnt have a tv in the room at Mathraki not that i missed it mind we were usually too busy getting ready to go out and too drunk to see it when we returned so not much point in having one ( a tv that is lol )

Not normally bothered with Telly when i am in Arillas but if they have low cut tops on whilst cooking....got to be worth a look...this is like killing two birds with one stone...

LOL.... apparently Dorita says the weather girl is the same... her brother watches it and when she asks what the weather is going to be like "fine, fine, very fine" he says... only watches it for the girl! Foreign tv is hilarious! I expect they think the same about ours too tho.

Greek TV is a cracker and you have to be here to appreciate just wat you can get.
A good way to read and learn Greek is watch the English films with Greek subtitles.
You can relate certain words and spelling and very soon you are watching the subtitles and not the film!

ps - Sue - I have got to gas mark 11 sometimes!
