We have just returned from another fabulous holiday with Anna. Many thanks Anna, Kostas, Theo and Tasos for a wonderfully relaxing time. This was our 6th and best ever visit, difficult to say why as there is so much we love about Arillas and many people have said it all before on this forum. The flight from Manchester was on time, the luggage arrived and having Kostas there to meet us like old friends made such a difference to the journey. At the immaculate Studios Anna and Tasos made us feel special and part of their “big family” of guests. Most of them are regulars like us and it was good to see them all and share some lovely meals and drinks. (Bob and Jenny- hope you’ll keep in touch) The weather was perfect, the sunsets amazing and what can you say about the food…just fantastic.
But I think one of the reasons why we enjoyed this trip was the people we met. Neil, after reading his posts for many years it was good to meet him “in the flesh” at the Night Owl. Our first visit to the Night Owl! How did we miss that one on previous visits? Wonderful food, good company and a pleasure to meet Linda and her family. Sharon at the Marina Pool, another first for us, but we will back for more of her wonderful hospitality not to mention the cakes! Tony and Glenda at the end of the jetty after the bench was installed. Then of course there was Dimitris at Brouklis, Nikos at his beautiful spot on the headland and if I’ve missed anyone I am very sorry.
Also visited the old village of Perithia, never quite made it up there before but we were pleased to see much of it still in ruins. It was fascinating to wander around the ruins breathing in the atmosphere and the history. There is obviously a lot of restoration going on and this may well be necessary for the economy but we are glad we saw before it is restored to within an inch of it’s life.
Now we are back in Nantwich, Cheshire and the hailstones are pounding down on the conservatory roof so that I can hardly hear myself think and yes it is June. Already looking forward to the next visit!
Love to all our friends in Arillas.
