For the first time this year we went to Greek Night at the Atki Arilla hotel it was BRILLIANT, best Greek night we have had in Arillas
We have often called by to Atki Arilla if we wanted a quiet drink in previous years, but had never eaten there I really like Spiros Bahamas cocktail and a visit there makes a nice relaxing end to the evening. The family who run the hotel are very friendly and hospitable and always wave to us as we walk up and down to the beach, which is nice!
They charge 25 euros for the Greek Night which sounds a bit pricey compared to other venues who tend to have normal pricing. However, this is for 4 courses (inc Greek salad) with unlimited wine, along with well over 2 hours of entertainment - it is definitely worth it.
You do not have to stick to the set Greek Night menu, they are quite happy for you to have anything off the menu for the same set price. I am not a big meat eater so had Swordfish instead of pork for mains. The food and service was excellent and the house wine was chilled to perfection and easy drinking (perhaps TOO easy drinking as we had quite a bit lol!).
The evening started at 8 with the meal, and the Greek dancing started at 9. There was a lot more room than in most places as they had moved a lot of tables in the restaurant to form a dance floor. It was easy to have an uninterrupted view of the dancers.
The dancers posed for pictures initially, and were happy to have guests photographed with them too. They did 3 separate sets changing costumes in between each one. The dances covered all areas of Greece and the islands, and each was briefly described before the music started. At the end of the second and third sets the dancers invited guests to join in which was a real laugh and great fun.
The dancing did not finish until nearly 11.30, and the wine was still flowing freely then. We stayed a little longer then declined yet another refill and made for our bed. I am relieved to say that despite being worried we had over indulged on the wine front lol we did not have even the hint of a headache in the morning, proof it was decent stuff!
This really was a brilliant night good food, good wine, good company, excellent entertainment and service. If you want a great night out give it a try!
