Title: Wetting the appetite.....
Post by: Jo Wissett on January 20, 2015, 11:43:04 PM
Here's a first favourite pic to get the ball rolling...early morning on the near-deserted North beach.  For those of you who want to skinny dip but never dared this is the best time (around about 9am) to give it a whirl and for those of you who don't the sea is so much clearer it seems at this end, anyhow I digress.....and those just might be our footsteps :)

Beautiful photo but I'm not quite sure where it is as I don't recognise the bench?

If I am not mistaken Suzy it's up on the headland at afionas behind dionysos restaurant. It truly is a beautiful spot.

Here's a little walk which we enjoy...take opening in front of Leo's (Ammos) house...the one with the old giant clay pots in the garden, continue uphill (fab views) then you come around again down past Nicolettas...a handy refreshment stop smiley

Looking forward to seeing the wild flowers again in May....

I enjoy my little walks Eileen. Where do you go?? I'm not sure of the location of Leo's and Nicoletta's.
Title: Re: Wetting the appetite.....
Post by: suzy61 on January 25, 2015, 09:58:34 PM
Thanks Jo
We haven't been up to Afionas yet but we definitely will be making that walk this year. It looks so beautiful, Can't wait!

Yes seeing as there are only 3 and there are hundreds of members. No pressure.

Post by: suzy61 on January 25, 2015, 10:20:50 PM
We have some lovely photos but unfortunately we haven't yet worked out how to post them on the forum! Must get our I.T whizz kid  sons to show us...and I work in a school. Lol!
Those places you mentioned Eileen or was it Sandy? Well, they looked absolutely amazing! However like Jo, we find it difficult to leave Arillas during our time there will especially this year as we didn't visit arillas last year. Therefore, we have lots of "Ariillas" to catch up on even though the photos of the resorts look simply stunning!
Once again, keep wetting the appetite!
Thanks for all the fantastic photos everyone!
Greatly appreciated!

Suzy X

Suzy I am only jesting. In terms of uploading photos on here just join something like photo bucket, upload the pics from your computer/ camera then you can post the code on the forum and hey presto!!

Cypress,

Walking out of Arillas past Brouklis on your left, then almost opposite Alexandros Studios you eventually come to this opening....
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/673/JFz6gL.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/ipJFz6gLj)

Turn up at the opening and follow the road uphill...here is just one of the lovely views from up there...

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/633/lXGulE.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/hllXGulEj)

At the top you will turn left at Anna Maria apts and then onto the main road down to Arillas.  You can't miss Nicolettes on the right as you walk down the main road...

Think that's one for us also Eileen this Summer thanks x
Title: Re: Wetting the appetite.....
Post by: cypress on January 26, 2015, 10:35:15 AM
Thanks Eileen! I'll definitely do that one this year, I adore seeing Arillas from different perspectives. There's always food for the soul, through the eyes, to be had with the amazing views x

Suzy, Jo is spot on, the bench is up at Afionas headland. Really do try to get there - that's the hard bit, getting back down isn't a problem - you won't regret it x

AJC, that's the best pic for me, so far, it gave me those tiny butterflies.

Keep 'em coming everyone.

This one is about whetting the appetite in more senses than one - its at Kostas on the beach.  Am booked into Kaloudis Village for September yet again.

Well you find somewhere new every year.  I always thought that was a private drive Eileen.  Will definitely be having a stroll up there this year.

It really is a lovely walk Daisy, you'll be surprised at how many houses are up there. xxx

How about a quiet bevvy at Ammos for tempting a return to Arillas?

Jez you need to copy the IMG option in Photobucket and paste it into the message on the forum.  It copies automatically when you hover over the IMG option.  Good luck.  Just did this one using that method.

Where are your photos of Jez don't recognise? Also for all posting photos for the first time you can press the preview button underneith before you post and the photo will show there if successful. Just loving them all by the way

Jo and Pat,

Thanks for the coaching, seems to be working now. I will try the preview in future to make sure.

The first picture is the 007 bar in Pagi and the last is over the sea from the pool at the Romanza Hotel in St. Stef. last October.
