Just back after a lovely two weeks. Dimitri (Jimmy), Jimmy and their family are fantastic hosts and I couldn't recommend the Rainbow enough.

"Hello darlings" is still featuring highly, as is "lovely jubbly" and "OH YES!" on frequent occasions.

I'm in the process of tidying up the photos I took (some 2000+!!!) and once I finish I'll stick them up on my Flickr! account and post a link.

Gaye, you will always get a good welcome from the Bardis Sun..especially if Bobby is there... he is a really friendly and happy guy... Poppy is lovely as is all of the family... you can pop in any time for a drink, sit round the pool... pre dinner drink and a good after dinner cocktail made by Bobby... my favourite.. a pink flamingo..... Poppy also does a pretty good egg or omelette and chips if you fancy a change.. her eggs are lovely - free range!

Hello darlings

We found the Rainbow on our third visit to Arillas. It is a must for all newbies, if you are in the mood for banter and fun. Most are after that in the holiday season I guess... Some like me make a career of it.

Jimmy (Dimitris) and Spiros are fabulous hosts. They have put up with us frequently. A smile will set the process in motion. Anyone can join in - that is the whole point. The two of them will always make you welcome if you join in. It is but one of the choices available in Arillas. And believe me, you can spend years sampling them all.

to Erja, BeckyB and Jo
I should have replied to you way back in May, but I haven't been on the site since then --- sorry but it felt like torturing myself as we are not booked for a revisit yet!!
This may all change as we are hoping to be back next year for 2 weeks with sister and brother-in-law too.
well you wanted more details about our holiday...

We had great meals wherever we went; Captains Taverna was popular and the new one up at Afionas (we like a long walk for our supper) - see our addition to the post about their mezes...fabulous and a big hit with kids and grown ups.

We stocked up on herbs and spices at the supermarket next to the bakery while we were there...great value ..but more exiting I used them to make stifado this week; a big hit and tasted pretty authentic if I say so myself!!! What a great way to recall our holiday. Oh, and the goodies from the bakery...worth going back for alone.

our boys loved the fireflies, terrapins, toads and other wildlife, even the swallow that joined us in the apartment for a while.

Ssoooooo looking forward to our next visit...

Yes, we hadn't sampled the Rainbow before this year, but after visiting it once it became a must for the rest of the fortnight..........

And I can vouch for all those sayings still being used - hello darlings, bloody hell, oh yes and lovely jubbly....

Great family, lol,

Hello Justlynn,
Where is the Rainbow? Have never spotted it yet...am not the most observant person in the world...have blonde moments! Have read so many favourable reports on the forum that would love to visit during our stay this year! x

justphil · July 28, 2009, 04:28:43 AM

Georgia, from the centre of Arillas head for the corssroads, past closed Whispers bar towards Brouklis. Keep going and on your right you will come to Marvellous first and Rainbow next door. The Captain's Table is opposite.

Hope it helps
Phil

I understand and fingers crossed forthe next visit

Hi Georgia, yes, you really must visit the Rainbow...... I see Phil has already given you directions - thanks Phil.

We haven't actually stayed at the Rainbow as yet, but would be happy to....

Thanks to all will not miss out on Rainbow this visit!! xxx

Eggy · August 04, 2009, 07:24:16 PM

Many places in Arillas to visit , eat or stay and enjoy,
But don't forget that the Rainbow Pool/Bar has been growing since, at least 1990. - So they have obviously got something right.
