Arilas
Corfu
Over the
headland from Agios Stefanos you will find the small quiet resort of
Arillas, enjoyed by many for its lovely views and spectacular sunsets
this is the resort for those wanting a relaxing get away from it all
holiday. Arilas is situated on the spectacular North West Ionian Coast,
around 30 miles from Corfu Town.
The beach
at Arillas is one of the smaller to be found on Corfu, a narrow 15m
sandy strip which stretches for around 250 m. The water here is clear
warm and shallow, so ideal for swimming, as usual sun beds and parasols
are available for hire and there is a good selection of watersports
including waterskiing, windsurfing and paracending.
Night life
in Arilas tends to be fairly laid back, revolving around the lovely
sea front tavernas and small bars. Food is excellent and fish dishes
are a speciality. A couple of restaurants near the top of the village
offer lovely views down the valley to the sea and Gravia island opposite
the resort.
There are
several small supermarkets for those in self catering accommodation
and a few gifts shops. Car hire is also available for those wishing
to explore the rest of the island of Corfu.
Arilas
Accommodation
One thing
you will not find in Arilas is large hotel complexes. Holiday accommodation
is mainly provided by small family run hotels studios and apartments.
Most are only a few minutes walk from the tavernas and beach, most have
spectacular views out across the sea.
