 Who is the Resort for ?

Quiet families and couples. There is not much to do except for the beach and swimming.

 The Beach

Type: The water is very shallow and the sea bottom is flat and sandy
 

Sunbeds: Yes
 

Facilities: None
 

Child Suitability: Safe, but the road - although not busy, does run along the top of the beach.

Accessibility: Parking is close to the beach at the side of the road.
 

Cleanliness and Urchins: Clean and no urchins. The occasional large rock though to stump your toe on!

 Places of Interest

The nearby deserted - other than a few sheep - island of Gravia, is swimable. It takes about an hour and glorious unspoilt deserted beaches can be found on the other side - so I am told - sounds stunning!

 Places Nearby

A nice walk would be to St Stefanos  - 30 minutes walk away - to the North or Afionas to the south, were you can sit in a taverna wathing the fantastic sun set
 

Agios Georgios is to the South - again walkable but further.

 How to get there by Car

From Agios Stephanos it is just over the hill. From Agios Georgios it is well signposted and a short drive.

Thanks to Rosemary for the following photos:

 What's There

Supermarkets: There are seven supermarkets  and Stelios has his homegrown garden vegetables for sale.  You can pick your own and you can also buy his own made wine and olive oil from the road side shop. 
 

Boat Rental:  Petros boat hire at the south end of Arillas beach offers tuition in paddle boats, windsurfing sailing and canoes. 
 

Water Sports: Stamatis will take you parasailing -  see a birds eye view of ARILLAS - he also offers banana rides and runs a water taxi to the nearby resorts.

Exchange: Yes

Public Swimming Pools: Several.

Telephone: Yes

Children's Facilities: Not much apart from the beach and sea. Some villas and apartments have swimming pools. There are also some private playgrounds and children's areas. There is also HORSE RIDING.
 

Disabled Facilities: It is all fairly flat and good parking close to the beach.
 

Car Hire: Yes, it is advisable in Arillas as there is only one bus to Corfu town and it goes at 7.30 AM!
 

Bars: Several. Some nice ones close to the beach to watch the sunset from with a gin and tonic. Also the Malibu Coconut and the Rainbow which has a swimming pool , darts, pool, sky TV and snacks.

Tavernas: There are some good tavernas in Arillas one of my favorites is the Brouklis Taverna many Greek people eat there - that in itself is a compliment. I liked the one with a stream running through it. I'll try and find a photo.

Shopping: Some.
