Hello,
I ve just got back from a week in Arillas staying at the Mathraki Apartments , it was my first visit to both and I d definitely go again .
Mathraki apartments are typical Greek apartments , but with the addition of a kettle ! - I ve stayed in many apartments in Greece and thats a first ! also had a small oven - but I m afraid I did nt get round to using it .The apartments were very clean , lovely view - all look out to the sea , nice size pool with plenty of sun beds , and a snack bar that did the nicest feta saganaki I ve tasted , and my son voted the club sandwhiches the best he s had . Akis and family were extremely helpful and friendly .There is air con which you can pay extra for but we did nt need it .
Theres a small supermarket directly opposite which is handy for bread milk etc , its about 5 mins to walk to the beach down the main street and 10 if you go left when leaving the apartment - passing goats , chickens , cats , friendly dogs , the odd deserted little house , and a few apartments .
I d like to go back again in May or October when its cooler and have a better look around and do some walking - bit too hot this week - but a lovely excuse to just swim , relax , read and enjoy the view .
I d definitely recommend Mathraki - its a lovely place , I went with my 2 sons 14 and 9 , but I would consider going back on my own , I felt very safe and comfortable there ,
Linda
