Shame you didn't ask Monica and Spiros in the Akti, or Olga in Olga's travel or just about anyone else along there. Tour operators are not my favourite people.... As I read your post, I could have told you there is no "mimosa." So could anyone there.
You sound like us - the awful experiences will turn into laughs and reminiscences down the line. But believe me, Arillas can do much better. Our eighth visit coming up tomorrow, and it will be really special. Perhaps it is because we know so many and are known by so many. But our first visit when we knew nothing and nobody, I asked if I'd "died and gone to heaven?" Well, I'm still alive but I will be in heaven tomorrow....
Best wishes
