guide to Arillas hotels in CORFU

Arillas the perfect place to relax & wind down. If you like nice beaches with space for all, clean seas, beautiful countryside, a good choice of Taverna`s  serving a wide variety of dishes, and the most hospitable friendly people, then Arillas, Corfu is for you. With a wide variety of accommodation from hotels to  private villas & small apartments your choice is unlimited. Ideal for families with young children & couples young or old. The road to Arillas on the north-west coast wanders through peaceful hillside villages far from the tourist mainstream before descending into olive groves and pine trees down to the clear blue sea. September and October are ideal for warm seas, ripe fruit and balmy evenings; April and May for the wild flowers, twinkling fireflies and amorous bullfrogs. A chance to step off the beaten track into unspoilt villages, pick your own oranges and figs off the trees, drink crystal clear cold spring water. Explore villages, monasteries, and working olive presses. See the fantastic views of offshore islands and the forbidding coastline of Albania across the Ionian Sea.You can walk along ancient donkey tracks through olive groves from Arillas through San Stefanos, Magoulades and Kavadades.

Tranquil Arilas is a picture postcard of authentic Corfu. Flower draped streets, pastel houses and the obligatory friendly dog having a wander. Seven minimarkets, a few bars and several tavernas. The few hotels here have that friendly touch – like the family run Kaloudis Village Apartments. Arilas's long beach of golden sand and shingle is the centre of activity – which includes sunbathing, swimming and splashing around. The shallow waters are great for kids or for that first time canoeing or windsurfing.
Hop on a horse to go trekking into rural Corfu. Jump in a dingy to deserted Gravia Island, home to sheep and secluded beaches. Walk along the coast to Agios Stefanos or Agios Georgios. Don't miss Paleokastritsa, a spot famed beyond Corfu for its natural beauty, exclusive marina and ancient monastery. When it comes to evening entertainment, you can't beat the sunsets here - make sure you're settled in at a seafront bar to drink it in. Then how about a flavour of Corfu proper, at Brouklis – a taverna so good the locals love it. Let the ouzo flow! Yiamas!
