Sounds like a fantastic plan!!

The winter months, once the holiday season is over, they are tough, you just want them over with, but the dream of returning to Arillas keeps you going and this site does too!

Savour every moment in September and the memories will help you along til next year :-) !

Blimey!  We certainly won't be able to afford more than about £400-£500 for the week for the 2 of us so I guess we're going to have to be a bit thrifty and seek out the cheaper places to eat etc!

smoosh, the captains table and vivalis we found to be the cheapest, around 26-30 euros for 2 3 course meals, plenty of wine and beer.  We spent £500 because we had it to spend, i'm sure you will manage easily on what you take.

Smoosh, if you go to the following post you will some of the Menu Boards in Arillas. Just click on them to see a larger, readable image. It will give you an idea of what you can get for your money.

Also here is the Brouklis Menu ....... It still makes my mouth water

smoosh, some folk way exaggerate the amount of money they spend  ;-)

I'm finding out Arillas is, (despite being a more select resort) a place that suits people on a budget like myself.

We're self catering, but that will be for breakfasts.

We'll dine out to give my wife a break.  ;-)

I'm finding out a number of 'wallet friendly' places, you will as well.  :-)

James W, while I understand you may have had experience of people exaggerating how much they spend, it's also worth noting that most people on this forum are good honest people giving honest opinions and views on their holidays.

Devils advocate here.
I was once asked, by a friend in England, how much I spent on holiday. I can't remember the figure I gave him but included the cost of bringing cigarettes and alcohol home. I used to bring back 2600 for me, each trip, and Mrs Egg 1800, plus 2 Drambuies and 3 whiskys. - And a couple of bottles Kourtaki if any space left.
"Surely" he said, " That's not part of your holiday costs?"
i suppose he's right but we budgeted for it on each holiday.
Maybe exaggeration is the wrong word but,if I had originally answered this post,I could have easily added 800 euros to the "holiday cost"
( 800 euros on cigs & booze - What a frightening realisation!! )
Regards to all

"Devils advocate" - Haven't used that term much since I was a Trade Union Rep many,many years ago. I'm impressed I still remember what it means.

We usually average about 100 euros a day and there are three of us, including a teenage daughter ! Some days we underspend and carry it over. We usually go to the bakery for breakfast, snack & a beer for lunch and one of the excellent tavernas in Arillas for our evening meal. There is the snack bar and pizza place that are pretty cheap and there is some Greek stuff on the menu if my memory serves me right.
 We don't buy duty free as we don't smoke and find the alcohol isn't much cheaper than at home and you have got the hassle of getting it back in one piece.
 Then there is whatever you want to buy in the way of gifts. We always used to get souvenirs of our holidays but the house was becoming a bit cluttered so we don't even do that anymore !
We do like to have a nightcap @ the Rainbow ( a few actually) but that won't break the bank !

Think you have it just about correct..100 euros a day is ample ,although there are only two of us,we do tend to be in and out of bars & taverna`s all day,...(mostly in )
I regret to say,...And  do eat out every evening..but what better way to wihile away the lazy afternoons than sat in a Taverna gazing out to sea with a cool drink ,drink,drink....
