Whether you go independently or on a package, it is better to go, than not to go at all. If TC are offering low cost packages, let's grab them. Fill up the planes.
I worry that the world wide impression might be that because the deals are cheap, Arillas is a "down market" destination which it certainly is not.
This is in the public facing Arillas General Information board, and it is so important that visitors to this site understand just what this quiet but "busy" little bay between Agious Georgios and San Stefanos has to offer. Young families will find beach pursuits with safe, clean and shallow sea. Young couples will find peace and privacy. Many romances have blossomed here! Teenagers can bop the night away in Malibu, while their oldun's sip a sophisticated drink next door in the Coconut Bar. And all in safety.
Older ones can walk through the amazing rural villages just soaking in the breath-taking views of the bay. Really old ones can sit in peace watching the world go by, and joining in when they feel like it.
And then, of course, there is the amazing food to be had in dozens of top class tavernas, all offering incredibly good value for money.
No wonder so many go to Arillas every year, and dream about being there when they are not.
