Why I keep going back to Arillas
« on: November 14, 2010, 07:07:44 PM »
With dedication to our lovely Eleni of Irenes Villa Lux Apartments (next door to Rainbow and Marvel) I want to start this thread again.

Why do you keep going back? What might first timers expect, and how can they make the most of what us forum hacks already do?

Well here are links to what I've said before.

I think it's obvious why we keep going back. Why do you?

I think it's obvious why we keep going back. Why do you?

In no particular order.....

* The stunning scenery.
* The beautiful sunsets.
* The warm & friendly locals.
* The sandy beach.
* The many walks
* The good selection of tavernas which offer the most delicious food.
* The feeling of total relaxation.
* Watching the world go by with a nice chilled local beer.
* The sunshine [24 degrees even in November!]
* The peace & quiet & hearing the cicades in the evenings.
* Watching the fireflies in May.
* The wonderful colours in the spring.
* The feeling that this is the place where I belong & hope to hope to retire to one day.

These are just a few reasons. I could go on & on & on...................

I totally agree Sara, just booked my flight for Friday 13th. May 2011 for another glorious two weeks! A lot cheaper than last year £208 plus meals etc. (could it be the date?).
The 'pot of gold' waiting at the end of the dreary dark British winter.

This always cheers me up. It's the video I put together in 2008.


Still reminds me of everything I love about Arillas and surrounding walks/views.

Yammas,
Martin.

I loved the slide show Tony. I will have to check the "tripwow" out.

It was good seeing your video again, Martin.

Great slide show Tony. Wouldn't load last night, but worked fine today. Must have a trip to Corfu Town, looks interesting.
Yammas,
Martin.
