Claire and I love Arillas just as it is, that's why we're returning for our second visit at the end of August. The fact that it's not touristy or full of 'English Pubs' and replays of Coronation Street every half hour suits us just fine! If you want all that then Sidari is the place to be!
Just being able to wander around and take in the atmosphere, talk to the fantastic people, chill out on the beach and enjoy the odd Mythos or two is what is drawing us back. We love the beach, the food, the people, the weather, the sunsets..........
Our accommodation last year wasn't the best ever, and there were some reports of trouble with break-ins reported in that particular set of apartments prior to our arrival (which we found out via this website and were glad to be 'forewarned') but we found Arillas to be our perfect place for a holiday and in just over four weeks time we're looking forward to sampling it all again!
Arillas may not be everyone's cup of tea.......but it certainly is ours.
