This was our first holiday minus the kids (4 of them) back in 2005 and i found a small place called Arillas, showed my hubby (Glenn) who was pleased to know it also had a nudie beach! it seemed to be offering all we were looking for small hotels/ apartments, close to the beach and not @ all commercialised..............heaven. When we arrived we were greeted warmly by the owners (Spiros & Kostas - Marvel) and this continued throughout the hols. we met up with other folk some had been going to Arillas for 23 years! Wow dedication we thought but during day 2 we realised the special qualities that this little place held for so many, us now included. this year will be our 4th visit and yes we have thought as have many shall we try somewhere new.........and thats were it stops just thinking about it cos when we get home generally the day after we have returned we book to go again same time (company shutdown) same place. what can i say heavy going jobs, kids, grand kids and we look forward to our 2 weeks for a complete meltdown of chilling mode in Arillas with familiar faces n places. i liked it very much (then)but Arillas well what can i say that everyone on this forum hasn't already.............. bliss
we feel that we cannot sacrifice 2 weeks somewhere else @ the expense of not going back to Arillas, so if we are to go somewhere else we will have to holiday twice a year! currently not poss so Arillas it is no Q's.
Pefkos, Rhodes was a lovely place (2004) but it had changed from 2002 and was in '04 more commercialised and very busy. my kids have fond memories of it and vow to return there.
