Hi Phil, made it to the beach yesterday and even managed to have a swim. The sea was not warm exactly but far less cold than I expected. Looks like I will miss you this time round as I leave Arillas on 30th June. You'll have to drink the beer you were going to buy me yourself. I' sure you'll manage
Sandy I'm afraid the south beach doesn't exist. In fact there is no beach south of Graziella at all at present. The North beach is quite small and the central beach seems to have shrunk during the unsettled last few days.
The bonus from this weather is that it is ideal for walking. It's nice to get up to Afionas without getting hot and sweaty, and with a strong tailwind it's a very quick trip.
The food as always is superb. Eaten in Horizon and Portofino, both excellent. Marinos says the weekly music will be starting at the end of the month and at Portofino Spiros is, well, Spiros.
Efi's and Thalassa both due to open by beginning of next week and Efi's in particular has made what I think are great changes. Looking forward to them both opening.
