Today it's the clean Monday for Greece!!

Kathará Deftéra (“Clean Monday”) is a major Greek religious and cultural holiday marking the beginning of Great Lent in the Orthodox Church, 48 days before Easter. It follows the festive Carnival period (Apókries) and symbolizes a “clean start” for the soul and body through fasting, forgiveness, and spiritual reflection.

Immediate need for intervention at five dangerous road locations ahead of the 2026 tourist and wildfire prevention season

The Arillas Business Association of Corfu (S.E.A.K.) brings to the attention of the competent authorities serious road safety issues affecting the road network in the area of Arillas, which have emerged or significantly worsened following the extensive damage caused in November 2025.

In view of the 2026 tourist season and the upcoming wildfire prevention period, S.E.A.K. expresses the strong concern of local professionals, as the current condition of specific roads is directly related to:

• public safety for residents, professionals, and visitors,

• the accessibility and intervention capability of emergency response vehicles, and

• the use of these roads as evacuation routes in cases of wildfire or other emergency incidents.

Turtle Tracks in Arillas: A Special Summer Surprise

Over the past few days, we’ve spotted signs of sea turtle nests along the beaches of Arillas, Agios Georgios, and Agios Stefanos, and even witnessed some hatching activity!

It’s now confirmed: the Caretta caretta (loggerhead sea turtle) has started using our warm, sandy shores to lay their eggs. While this is still a relatively new phenomenon here, it’s likely linked to climate change and the reduced fishing activity along Corfu’s western coast.

ARILLAS BUSINESS ASSOCIATION- CORFU

All you need to know about Arillas if you wish to spend your vacation or to make business in our area.

Jointly organized in cooperation with the Local Councils of Magoulades, Afionas, Kavadades and  the Arillas cultural Organization

We represent the business community of Arillas and the broader area.
Some  140 different businesses here are run by approximately 50 local families.
For more than 30 years we have achieved a balance between the visitors, the locals and the businesses, based on the cooperation and mutual respect aiming to make of Arillas a sustainable tourist destination which we have to preserve.
In the recent years, we have noticed some welcome newcomers  reaching out  to become businessmen.  However, as they ignore the Greek institutional framework and the local culture, they do things, which are in conflict with everything we have achieved and tend to alter the tourist identity of the area.
Therefore, the balance achieved up to the present day is disturbed.  This is why we would like to put forth some points which we deem important for the development of the place.

The Arillas cultural Organization which is consisted by over 100 members from Arillas, Afionas and Kavadades has established that the Annual  Wine Festival will be taking place this year on Saturday  the 6th September 2025.

I would would like to highlight that while this is not a tourist event, visitors in the area are more than welcome to join us and experience our vibrant culture. However, keep in mind that, Greek dances are a profound expression of our joy, sorrow, and emotions. If you're unfamiliar with the dances, feel free to ask for guidance or simply watch and enjoy.
