Arillas (from time to time referred to as Arilas), is a really very small somewhat undeveloped village proudly located in the North-Western part of Corfu island. Corfu is actually part of the Ionian group of Greek islands that also contains the less well known Paxos, Zakynthos (Zante) and Kefalonia. The last however is the setting for Louis de Bernieres? work of fiction plus the resultant Holywood motion picture, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, which takes place on the island during the Italian and German occupation of World War II.
The substantial quantity of charter aircraft going to Corfu from the UK means it is actually conveniently accessible from regional airports. Most travelers head straight for the highly developed and to some extent infamous resorts in the South and East of Corfu. There are a number of tour operators which go to Arillas including Olympic Holidays. Beware that it can end up being an up to 2 hr transfer from the international airport using a 2nd transfer to a smallish minibus for your very final lstage to Arillas. It was at this location that I arrived with my suitcase, some what tired carrying my Nikon D3100 camera.
Arillas features a gradually shelving sand and pebble beach where a selection of water sports which include canoe and pedalo hire can be obtained. Turning right on getting to the shoreline takes one towards the thin, cliff backed naturist area. The beach apparently changes in size over the season, depending on storms to bring material inshore to be able to replace displaced sand together with shingle. To reach this shore you might need to wade so you can get past rugged outcrops depending on the tide. Mud cliffs come down to the beach at this point and the mud is well-known to be beneficial for your skin when smeared all over. You probably won't start looking years younger following your procedure however you really can have a blast from it!
Corfu gets a big rainfall and can be green for much of the year. The surrounding area is good for checking out on foot and cycles could possibly be hired. Lance Chilton has published helpful tips for the area, that's available via Marengo Publications, www.marengowalks.com.
One trip which happens to be well worth thinking about, is to the Porto Timoni peninsular in the vicinity of Afionas, where a steep wander down gives you superb views of the dual semi-circular bays below. The area is fairly isolated and there have been many people swimming naked on the couple of instances My partner and i have been there. The nearest village Afionas has a couple of tavernas and can be arrived at by car, bicycle or perhaps even on foot.
Arillas has a website and active discussion forum so any readers interested in finding out more can check it out, www.arillas.com. In order to share shots from the locale a reliable DSLR camera is a superb advantage.
