Welcome to Arillas > Arillas general information

A few words about the Arillas Community Spirit

(1/6) > >>

dimitris:
The Arillas Business Association together with the local Councillors and people of Arillas have achieved to have the beach-front and the rest of the village in a good state before the season started .
In the winter months meetings and small conferences were taking place in order to keep everyone informed and able to contribute with their own opinions and ideas.
Having taken seriously under consideration the results of the Arillas Survey form 2012-13, we followed the rule to improve but not spoil our Arillas by choosing  carefully all actions and necessary developments.
The community spirit within the Arillas business-people is a vital fact that has to be kept going for the next years.
The work that this year has been done by the business-owners is:


* Repairing and improving the look of the beach-front lights.
* Creation of a wooden pedestrian at the left part of the beach-street.
* Tiding up some of the private and public signs in order to give a good example of how signs should be.
* Creation of more rubbish-bin-housings.
* Planting more native trees, flowers and plants at the beach front. (These trees used to grow naturaly in Arillas beach before the hotels and bars where build.)
* Creation and placement of 10 wooden small litter bins  at the beach that the business owners of the front would be caring for them.
* Repairing the surface of the pier.
* Repairing the beach Showers.
* Maintenance of the Arillas trail.All these actions have been initiated by the community spirit of the Arillas people who live and work in this area. It was the ultimate move to respond to the loyalty of all of you that keep coming year by year and to welcome the newcomers with respect.
We are trying to keep your holiday destination clean and tidy with our basic resources and very little help from the governmental services. I must say It WAS NOT EASY....
 It is important that more and more local business-owners should take part in this actions in the future. Our aim is to keep Arillas  AS IT IS .
The identity of our Arillas as a holiday destination is based on :

* Our natural environment
* The sea and sun
* Family-run accommodation
* Quality restaurants and good Greek food
* Quality of the beach
* High rate of repeating visitors
* The hospitality of the local people
* Beach quality
* Recommendation from friends and family
* The use of social media
* The organisation of local events.
In order to keep this spirit going, it would be very nice of you to keep mentioning to every establishment that you visit in Arillas and the surrounding areas about the good impact that these initiatives have to your holidays.  

Have a good time in Arillas!!

Well said Dimitri - we were pleased to help a little this year as we were here early. It was quite an eye opener for us to see everyone pulling together.  I would just like to say how much we appreciate all that you do for Arillas in keeping it a place we love to return to - again and again. Thank you, lots of love and respect Anne xx

TerryW:
Thank you for the update Dimitris.

I think, as a forum, we should draft a "letter of thanks" that could be pinned to the notice board by the jetty. I am sure that Phil could word it to perfection, and at least it would display out gratitude in a public way to the Arillas Business Association and the people of Arillas.


I will keep the following list, at hand, for repeating on other websites if that is Ok?

A huge thanks for all the effort that has been put in by the community of Arillas  in respect of the work that has been carried out to keep Arillas AS IT IS.

Most of the work had been done when we were over in May and our appreciation was expressed at several venues around the village.

Arillas AS IT IS  is why we keep coming HOME........ looking forward to returning in July.

Social media helps in a big way in spreading the word about this little part of the world we have all come to love and respect.

I will continue to sing the praises of Arillas every time I have the opportunity through social media and I hope we all do the same.

once again A BIG THANK YOU TO ARILLAS AND ITS LOCAL COMMUNITY.
