Hello everybody!
I guess that they must be so many stories about how somebody has found Arillas ,
as many are the people that they have visited the place!
Recomendation,last minute flight,luck,suggestion,end up of a daily excursion etc. etc
Though all of your stories have the unique element of the one who is writing about it,
combinating sometimes the feelings of a family situation or event of each one
of you ,they do have also one thing in commom and that s the call of Arillas as a "unique"
place uncompared with any other !!!!
Maby we could find some very intresting answers as well ,to the subject:
What it makes
want COME BACK to Arillas.
I found Arillas 20 years ago because of my hausband .Originally i come from Athens .
Corfu is a fantastic island ,full of beaches green and generally natural beauty! I ve been
all over through the years here and abroad.I ve seen beautiful places astoning sceneries
B U T
No OTHER place has inspired me to feel F R E E like Arillas and there is nowhere else that i could feel so
intense the "light" in my heart!
An angle of the world that the sun visits first and leave last ! Full of sunlight ,it brightens the
pictures that eye can see.
It releases the feelings! You forget your worries, your ordinary life and you are transfered in
a small world where you can become part of it without obligations but a genuine smile!
In a very quick time even the most unsociable people can meet new friends,discover
themselves ,being treated not as just anonymous tourists but as parts of the local comunity!
You start to care about that place and it s people! You consider it like a second home!
It is not the luxury that i would look for, but the simplicity in all aspects!
Memories with beloved persons,long quite evenings by the see,flavor of sand and salt all over,
Zorbas music together with echoes of Tina Turnrer,s song from the bars upper the road,
air full of sand when it s windy ,waves of the type Hawai 5-0 ,flames on the street ,people
taulking and laughing or doing just nothing but enjoying the relaxing moments......
All of you have departed at least one time from the area!
The half of your heart denied to follow you back! You knew it already on your way to the airport
that "this would be your nest" ....
Like the swallows !
We are all suffering from the swallows-nest syndrome!!! Thats how i call it...
Only that, apart from the" warm" nest we find also the people that we once met and started to love ,watching them growing up
and keep walking in life like they do with you,living parallel lives in parallel worlds!
We are all looking very much forward to welcoming you again!!!!
Yours
Eleni
