Facing the Ionian Sea, Arillas sits at the bottom of a valley with a backdrop of hills; snuggly nestled in between the headlands of Agios Stephanos to the north and Agios Georgios to the south. Arillas beach for the past 10 years has been awarded a 'Blue Flag' by the European Community for its cleanness and for water quality. Gently shelving it is ideal for children. Lazy days can be spent on the soft sand beach where sun beds/parasols are available for hire, whilst water sports are available for the more energetic from 'Arillas Water sports' and 'Pedro's Boat hire'. Lining the beach you will find a variety of locally owned tavernas providing refreshments and delicious homemade Corfiot food, an ideal location for people watching and cooling of after a long morning on the beach!
Around Arillas
For a change of scenery, follow the cliff path over the Akrotiri Kefali headland north towards Agios Stephanos, stopping off at the church and then continuing down to the small harbour. Ag. Stephanos has a long and sandy beach, numerous bars and restaurants. A full day walk south of Arillas up to Afionas village is to be recommended. On reaching the village stop of for refreshment (you will need it!) in one of the 3 tavernas which have superb views up the rugged coastline to Arillas and beyond. (try an evening visit for superb views of the sunset) Walk further up the village to the pretty square and belltower, look for the sign which says 'Dionysos' on the wall at the side of the Olivewood giftshop, follow the path past little cottages and a fabulous view and photo opportunity awaits you. This vantage point offers panoramic views of Agios Georgios and it's shimmering turquoise waters. Agios Georgios beach is claimed by many to be the most beautiful beach in Corfu.
