We first came to Corfu in 1990 and stayed in Agios Stefanos, I remember climbing the hill with two reluctant toddlers and looking down onto Arillas beach.

However, it was in 2004 that we took a cheap, last minute, 'allocated on arrival' holiday.  We had a long, night time coach transfer and decided that we would sleep one night where ever we ended up and then look for somewhere we liked.  We woke to find that we were in a front room in The Hotel Marina. The view blew us away, the owners were soo friendly, we explored Arillas and have never looked elsewhere since!!

First came to Corfu in 1999 -Sidari - oops(I worked at T Cook so it was a sort of freebie!!) Hubby was feeling energetic one day so he left me by the pool and decided to go for a "walk" and ended up in Arillas!!  So later we drove to Arillas and by chance met Kostas (Supermarket) who had 2 brand new apartments.  We have stayed with Kostas every May and September since. What more can I say - wonderful place wonderful people.

I've been six times in the last 2 years. I first came to Arillas when I was made redundant and a friend was already going and said why don't I come along too. We stayed at the Horizon where it was Marinos' birthday on the first night. I got a contact lens stuck in my eye and never looked back! I now seem to have a part time job as the Horizon party DJ.

Hi Dimitris

This year will be our 11th consecutive visit to Arillas - first came in July 1997 and have always stayed at Kaloudis and enjoyed meals at all the tavernas.  Can't wait for the 27th July to see all the friends we have made in that time.  Think we must qualify as regular vistors now?

Love Jen n Mike

I first visted Arillas with my parents in 1991. Since then I think I must have been back around 12 times, 4 of those with my boyfriend in the last few years. When you grow up with a particular holiday resort I think it always stays with you and, while we enjoy trying new and faraway places Arillas is always the place we return to for a good long relaxing holiday! With the folks out there now I suspect my number of visits will only be on the up (September already booked and Christmas in the planning)!

Ah 1991!!! - Haven't we got you on a DVD somewhere?? Visiting in September and planning Christmas already - Do they know??
Probably OK I 'spose - As long as you get those bits in the suitcase that they need.

Hello everyone again!!
I'll try to add a new membergroup for our forum.
This will be the Arillas Regular visitors group , which means that I need your help in order to localise everyone,
So enyone who has been to Arillas for more than 4 times in the last 100years  can reply on this topic telling us the year of his/her/their  first visit and (if they remember) how many times they have been to Arillas until today.

I have already added the label on some of you that I know ( for experimental use!!) that you have been coming over the years.


In the future We are going to have a word with the local council in order to have an official award to the people that have honoured us with the most visits over the years.

Take care,

Dimitris

Hi everyone....

Not quite sure how to get all the gadgets and gizmos working yet... however, I think I may just be able to sneak into the "Regular Visitor Group"....

We first came in 1985..... we have visited every year since, somtimes 3 times a year.... I know... it is a long time... but Arillas just steals your heart!

Our children were only 2 & 4 back then and they now travel to Arillas with their partners, our youngest one is there NOW.... hopefully she will remember to come home this time.... last summer, her week away grew into 3 months!

We have taken our children, mothers, grandchildren and friends to Arillas and I am happy to say that we will be moving close to Arillas in October this year.... do I qualify? lol
