just a couple of questions :-)
« on: September 07, 2014, 10:09:22 AM »
GOOD MORNING :-) just doing my last minute packing - ready to fly out Wednesday. I'm doing something completely out of character and have booked a whole glorious month in arillas - on my own!! I've been a couple of times before but this is a real adventure for me!! May I ask all you arillas experts a few things? Firstly, whilst I'm coming out primarily to relax, are there any regular activities that I could join? I've read about a painting group and also when I came once there was a Pilates/ yoga session on the rooftop at Akrotiri bar. Any other suggestions so I can enjoy the activity and also meet other people? Lol, sorry but I dont play darts !! My other question is I have booked my transfers with holiday transfers .com . Has anybody else used them as they do seem rather cheap? That's it for now- I'm really excited about my travels and am looking forward to meeting new people and new experiences!

Good morning alli m and welcome to the forum :)

I have found that talking to people in Arillas is as easy as an easy thing as everyone is in a lovely frame of mind on their hols, not to metion the lovely locals.

As for regular activities I haven't got the foggiest but I am sure someone else can help you with that.

The walk up to Akrotiri is a sports event of a sorts in it self :)

Have a most excellent holiday and please write a report how you found it all after you get back :)
Life is good ;)

Welcome Alli

I'd suggest the Ouranos Club if you're interested in yoga. The back entrance is a left turn just up the track to the Akrotiri. When we went a couple of years ago they were offering drop-in classes for meditation, various types of yoga and pilates. They were a friendly lot and there seemed to be plenty of other solo travellers. I think they're Dutch but everyone spoke English. Every year I intend to go back there and to the Buddhist centre again, never making it because I'm too busy eating, drinking and socialising ... and I'm a yoga teacher :-)

I'm convinced that you won't be on your own for long in Arillas, everyone is so welcoming! And, yes please, let us know how it goes? Have a great time.

A lovely place to meet people is at Sharons pool bar, opposite the jetty. The world famous 4 o'clock club is so friendly. Sharon, Sue and Marion will make you welcome - very often they have a quiz afternoon that is good fun, just join in with one of the teams.
We were in Arillas for 2 whole months and going again for 2 weeks :-)

Many thanks erja,cypress and Anne for your replies.I'm here now so will check out what's going on in and around Arillas. There's one thing for sure though,you're never stuck for a friendly face or a chat over a glass of two of greek wine! Thanks again.
