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.
Happy Epifany day!
The Epiphany is one of the most sacred Greek Orthodox celebrations that dates back to ancient times. This Christian tradition is celebrated on the 6th of January around the world and is a day of joy and brightness.

The return of our Tamarisk trees (frigas) in 2014
Over the years there has been much work done in our beach front by the local entrepreneurs.
I believe that the greatest success of all was the plantation of our native tamarisk trees that for centuries protected the coastline from erosion with the huge spread of their root in the subsoil which manages to be fed with sea water.
Arillas community groups calling for creation of network of trails
Arillas Business Association, Arillas Cultural Initiative and Arillas & Kavadades football Union are calling on the Corfu Mayors, local public organisations, cultural and sports societies, organisations and local councils and the media for the creation of a walking trails to promote the local sights.
Their keywords are: Protection of the Environment, Cultural Heritage, Cleanliness and Sustainable Development, Trekking Tourism.
In a statement they issued they say the following:
"An idea and proposal combining all of the above. There are 138 villages in Corfu and almost as many local councils and cultural and sports societies. In each village there are one or more 'treasures' that are worth seeing and discovering.
This could be called a Treasure Hunt. This proposal has no local or time limitations.
