Hi there. I'm a newby on the forum but not to Arillas.
I have just posted a reply to the other thread about these apartments and am quite sure if you like Greek island holidays you will enjoy. It is the people who make it, not the basics which, incidentally are fine. There is a great pool, which has always been beautifully maintained in the many hours we have spent in it (or in my case sat at the bar chatting to Angela and Phillipus.) The location gives you equal access to Arillas and San Stefanos, but if you're after a commercial hotbed of highrise and clubs like Benidorm cancel. On second thoughts, if that's what you want, don't go to Arillas go to Kavos.

Hope you have a great holiday. We'll be back for our 5th time next July.

gregg dosent matter where you stay in arillas as you will be made welcome ,as the hospitality is seconed to none,just enjoy it and relax, as any thing you want will never be a problem ....yammas

I agree with all that's been said...the sincere hospitality your will receive in Arillas is second to none, it's one of the main reasons why so many people return year after year.

By the way... there is a lovely little short-cut to the beach instead of walking down the main road.  When leaving Christos, instead of walking downhill towards Arillas turn left, then left again down the road signposted San Stephanos.  Half-way down this road there is a right turn to San.Steph but ignore that turning and walk straight on. If you want to walk down the cliff path to Arillas you would continue onwards...but we don't want to go that way today (!) we are going to turn left down a little lane which is between 2 houses...the opening is directly opposite a drive-way & large wheelie bin.  Continue down this path past little small holdings, careful as you go the chickens are liable to run out in front of you!  When you eventually come down to the end of the track there is a little road where you will turn right.  This road comes out at the beach at the side of Eftihia which you can see on the map here... Arillas tourist map 

It can be a little difficult to find the beginning of the track so I've attached two photos.  The first shows the driveway and wheelie bin opposite the opening.  The second photo is the start of the track.

That bit of info you posted last year has just become useful to me.
We will be staying at the Christos In July.
Looks like it will be an adventure going down to the beach this way.
will defiantly give it a go. Thanks.

Hi John,

I'm glad it's going to be of help   I think it's much nicer to arrive at the beach via a 'country'fied' walk (you know what I mean!) than via a road. It's much more fun dodging the hens running around the lane than it is cars on the road!

Just browsing and saw info on Christos Apartments - we always stay with Kostas which is opposite Christos Apartments and know Phillip the owner of the apartments - you will be made very very welcome - I am sure you will not be disappointed - we will be also be staying with Kostas in June (and September!!). Hope you enjoy your hols
