I stayed in the Akti at the beginning of May this year and July last year , and havent seen the offending 'bar' sticking out the ground , the prices you quoted dont follow the ones i paid a month ago ...... we bought 2 x 1.5lt bottles of coke to put in our fridge and only paid 7e for both ...... as for the bottle of whisky you may be right as Kostas and Perry in the Coconut now have to pay twice the cost price they paid last year , but i think you only have had to watch recent news to understand why ......and surely when you add either car hire or bike hire , + fuel and time .... the 11e you can get the whisky for starts to not look like such a good deal , and surely if you are there a month at a time you would go to a bigger supermarket for the months surplies?
As for car drivers , i walk the 'circuit' most days when im there and never have had any trouble , the locals are always curteous when they go to drive past you ........ so as it is like anywhere in the world , outsiders are spoiling peoples view of the lovely resort .
As for the smell you get from the drains , blame the british .... we helped them put in their drainage system all those years ago .... it was never designed for the volumes of tourists they get , or is it capable of dealing with the paper some tourists still insist should be flushed away rather than placed in the bin ...... a lot of the private villas , rooms and hotels use 'solar' heating the most cost efficient way for them ... think about them thru the winter months !! just remember Arillas is in Greece , not England , thats why we all love the place so much
