Hi all!!
I just wanted to post a general comment. We have just returned from Arillas last Friday - it was our first visit and will definately not be our last!!
I used this forum before we travelled and it gave me alot of advice and recommendations. I have just registered on the site so hopefully it can help some more for our next visit and hopefully I can help others with queries.
We have got the Arillas bug for sure....my husband and I are in our 30s and chose Arillas as it didnt seem touristy and we were attracted by its authenticity and how the village has remained traditional. Well, we never return to the same place but now we will have to break that rule as I can see us travelling here for many years to come!
Everyone was so friendly...it was a pleasure to speak with the local taverna owners and sample their fantastic food. The locals do a great job, I never been somewhere so clean and tidy. Arillas is a gem of a place or as per my husband put it....'a cracking wee spot'
I always imagined 'the ideal holiday' and now we have found it! Thank you to everyone for their advice and inspiration! Oh and to Dimitris for the forum!!
