Hey Paul, eating what you love in such a fab place will never be naff be it English or Greek! You enjoy and be proud! Only like me enjoying my Woodpecker Cider - not exactly authentically Greek but MY GOD it tastes so much better over there!

Hi,Jo. Couldn`t agree more. Most things seem better in our  little bit of paradise. It`s really great to be able to keep in touch with loads of like minded people. Using this site is like never having to be away from the place. We`ve been to many fab places but this one just hits the spot. This Sep will be our fourth visit.

Hi,Phil. Yes you`re right and hopefully there will be plenty more visits. But this world is a pretty big place, so we`ll have to fit in somewhere else now and again!!!!

Agree, Paul. I have travelled all over UK, europe and been to USA about twenty times. Plus a few holidays in france, Ibiza, Majorca etc. But at our age, Jen and me always end up spending our (limited) money on Arillas now. Even a lottery win wouldn't change that.... except we'd never come back here.

Enjoy September - you may see us around. just come up and say hello...

Best wishes

For me, I know I've arrived back in heaven when I step out of the plane and the heat, and the mixture of the smell of the diesel fumes and the vegetation hits you!

Does anyone else think it is a problem , that when you have found such a perfect place it makes you hesitate to book for anywhere else . As paul d says the world is a big place .

Angie, I know just what you mean.  I am totally switched off from home and in Greek mode when I get off the plane.  The jacket comes off, the sunnies go on and I am already chilled out... not worried about the long wait at carousel at the airport either.

We know the world is a big place too but I cant be bothered now to hunt around for suitable holiday accommodation, it can be so stressful looking for something and then when you get there it isnt all its made out to be.  We would rather go where we know immediately we feel at home and can relax as soon as we get off the plane.  We did 6 yrs on the trot to Crete now Arillas seems to be going the same way now and we love it there as does everyone else.

I agree with everything BG has said. Just as she and Mike went to Crete, we went to Kefalonia and we did try other places but were really disappointed.

Skala in Kefalonia changed a lot and has become over developed and its awful to see somewhere that you really like become ruined by greed. I don't think that Arillas will ever get like that.

The ideal year for us would be 4 weeks in Arillas, 2 single weeks seeing different places and about 5 city breaks. Just two problems, time and money :-( .

I am looking forward to this year more than ever because it is our second trip to Arillas and now know that we will get two weeks in an Earthly Paradise.
