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.

This year the Sandy beach is much different than last year!! and the year ago! The nature has done it's miracle once again!

I’ve just finished reading The Strength of Fragile Days, a novel by Pierenrico Gottero a writer and a dear friend as well as a regular Arillas Visitor. Much of the story unfolds on Corfu, with an entire chapter devoted to Arillas.
What struck me most is how deeply the book captures Arillas’s essence, not just its stunning landscapes and the endless blue of the sea, but also its peaceful, genuine atmosphere, and above all, the true spirit of those of us who call Arillas home.Some passages felt so personal, so close, that they genuinely moved me; others were wonderfully funny and delightfully light, bringing a real smile to my face.

I have just finished reading The Island of What Could Have Been, and once again I find myself astonished. Few books manage to capture not only a setting but its very soul — and this novel does exactly that. Much like the previous one, it conveys something beyond description: the essence of Arillas.

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.
