Title: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: dimitris on August 09, 2012, 04:53:06 PM
I know it’s awkward.
I know you will not believe me but..
Some kind of workers came into my restaurant  and asked if they could eat something at this time of the day… 16:00 in the afternoon..  I noticed they all came out of a small lorry that carries a large box which is parked outside the new pharmacy of Arillas.
Well … believe it or not  it’s the ATM OF ARILLAS  that we all have been dreaming of.
They say it takes one to two weeks until it will start giving money. It will be only operating in the summer season , more details and pictures  to follow.

Fantastic news Dimitris! You said it would happen once the pharmacy was up & running and you were right again! x x
Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: Sandy x on August 19, 2012, 11:56:02 PM
I arrived back today and regrettably the ATM is still not working. First it had a note on it saying it would be operational on 15/8, then it changed to 17/8, then it had a notice OUT OF ORDER....and yesterday the travel office had added a message that it was nothing to do with them!!
So until someone else can confirm it is up and running, best not to rely on it.

If it's only going to be used in the summer, it seems a bit odd to put it in more than half way through the season......

Than you for the update Sandy! I have prepared myself with a bag full of beer tokens and for everything else there is Mastercard ;)

Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: Sandy x on September 03, 2012, 11:13:27 PM
I am told it has been working in the last two weeks.....
Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: jaycee_rocker on June 25, 2014, 05:01:46 PM
Wife and I will be back in good ole Arillas in two weeks time.  Is the ATM still up and running ok?

3 or 4 years back we turned up with not much cash, expecting to use my card when needed but the ATM had been removed.  We hiked across to San Stef only to find the ATM there out of order.

Change of subject:  England out so go Greece in the footy!

welcome back  jaycee_rocker,

ATM is working  and have not heard of any complaints about it until now....
It is situated at the Arkokal Travel  on the Junction before you get to the beach,

See you soon,

Dimitris

Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: Carol and Nigel on May 14, 2015, 06:19:58 PM
Thanks John for letting everyone know. We arrive tomorrow so this sort of info is very useful.  Hopefully we won't need an ATM  but we've said that before and then had to use it!!. Just phoned our friends who are also travelling tomorrow to warn them too. The warning is much appreciated and thank you for your daily updates which have added to our anticipation of our first two weeks in "Heaven" this year.  Regards. Nigel and Carol.

Apologies if I have missed this, but is there now a pharmacy in arillas?  Last year we had to get a lift to Avliotes to get some eye drops.
Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: cypress on May 14, 2015, 11:42:01 PM
Hi Martin.

There isn't a pharmacy in Arillas, there was one but it closed down. The previous posts mentioning the pharmacy are from a couple of years ago. So, yes, Avliotes still has the nearest pharmacy. I had to go there in 2012 when I got a tooth abscess and needed antibiotics, the pharmacist at the time was smoking behind the counter .... I personally didn't mind, but can you imagine that happening here?!
Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: soniaP on May 15, 2015, 03:55:23 PM
I always take eye drops with me as for some reason they always seem to sting on holiday. Must be the sun cream and chlorine from the pool.
Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: Eggy on May 15, 2015, 05:02:08 PM
Maybe I should take eye drops with me when I go to the Arillas ATM. If I think it's not working....................?

Oh No!!!! - I cannot believe my eyes!! A few squirts and "presto" - I ask for 100 and it gives me 500. - The magic of Arillas  (and eye drops)

Just a jest , Sonia, as this ATM is a pain to all concerned.

I have just driven to Sidari to get some euros , so yes, it is very inconvenient.

But.... if you need a pharmacy as well, then kill two birds with one stone. (There seems to be more Pharmacies than ATM's in Sidari - Priorities I 'spose)

I know what you mean Negg. I went a bit off topic there!
Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: Eggy on May 15, 2015, 08:33:35 PM
"Off Topic" means diddly  ,really , Sonia.-  All conversations / Topics do that. - Part of the info process and fun , maybe?

Just bring the eye drops and I will borrow to see if It improves my darts! (In my eyes and not squirted at my opponent!)

Be well
Negg

Yep, it is - i used it yesterday. They filled it on Monday didn't they?! That's when the 'out of order' sign was removed anyway.

Post by: Ronaldio on June 23, 2015, 07:18:11 PM
With the current hulaballo and the UK media's bad news is good news syndrome, is anyone having problems withdrawing money from the ATM?  Well organised with a pre loaded travel card am now wondering wether to take extra in currency.  Any advice would be welcome
Title: Re: ATM IN ARILLAS !!!!
Post by: dimitris on June 23, 2015, 10:11:55 PM
The ATM in Arillas has been working fine everyday ....  about two weeks ago there were two new ATM's installed in Sanstefanos
