Hello to all my fellow friends!
I visited Arillas this month and its beach and I would just like to firstly say what a great beach it is. It is clean, sandy, safe and a great place to be. The sunbeds and umbrellas are reasonible priced and are of a great quailty. The pedalos are great fun and worth ever euro. All 10 of them! Which is great for what you get. There is no reason to look around for a better beach on Corfu as the beach at Arillas is the best you are going to see. From the banana boat to a sea sofa (dont ask) you will find something to keep your kids or yourself entertained.
Kind regards
Dan
Hello Dan,
Welcome to the forum and I have to agree about what you said about the beach. I love it especially for that it is not seriously crowded and that the water is shallow :)
Roll on August 30th :D
Hi There
I knew there was something I forgot. There where so many good points to mention I knew I would forgot some. The beach not being crowded is proberly the most important point but there we go what can you expect from a teenager? Moving swiftly on, hope you have a great time in August and thank you for mentioning the points I forgot. :D
Dan
Welcome Dan... thats the thing about this forum, someone will always jog your memory about something in Arillas. I love the beach too and the sea when its like a mill pond, my most favourite times, especially as I am a non swimmer. Anything else you can remember just "add" it on!
I love the beach too, especially the sunsets every evening, they are amazing.
Oh yer, the was proberly the most amazing thing about corfu, it stayed hot, hot as in 30 degrees hot at around 8.00pm which was unbelievable and sometimes uncomfortable if you are eating but it is all part of package so Im not complaining :D
Dan
No, dont you dare complain about the weather! :-) If you were back hear you would! I cant believe how cold it has been even when the sun is out I am cold... it just doesnt warm the house up inside does it! I just hope it is perfect when we are there in September, but its got to be better than the UK this summer.
Must admit the sea is beatiful when its calm. but i love it when its choppy!
so much fun! grab an inflatable n im off!!
must look a right tool to see an 18yr old arsing around in the sea on a lie-low!
lol ash
Oh the English weather is horrible. Dark and miserable, and always raining. I miss the hot sunshine and want to go back! :(
Dan
So do i Dan. I suppose i can wait another 7 weeks though. :)
riggers..
Ahh, very lucky you are indeed, where are you staying?
Dan
The Kaloudis as always. :)
riggers...
Oh rite, well this was our first year at Arillas so I'm unfamiler where that is but im sure every place in Arillas is nice. We stayed at the Horizon and it was 5 star.
Dan
The Horizon is a great place Dan, i haven't stayed there but had many a drink. The Kaloudis is at the other end of the Beach road, right next to the start of the track to San stefanos. This is also a great place, as everywhere.
riggers...
Oh rite I think I know where you mean now, the Horizon does great food. There was no need for us to move anywhere. Just go up to the bar if you were hungry, have a dip in the pool if it was hot, then cross the road to the beach with the lilo and have some fun!
What a paradise!

Sounds like you were having a real tough time of it. We are still waiting for our turn in September. Can't come soon enough.
Paul
Same here Paul.. we go 11th September and counting the "hours" now!
Dont rub it in :( I want to go back. Well I have now officaly broke up for the summer holidays now so be looking out for more of my not so great posts and thank you everyone for your comments.
Dan
I love the snorkling when it's calm and then the body bording when it gets choppy. I'm 37 and still love playing in the sea. I also enjoy making sandcastles or last year we decided to be different and made a Church, mermaid and dolphin. I'm getting excited so I can play on the beach again this year.
hi Dan
I broke up forever this summer and you can follow us on Arillas Today and Day by Day Phil and Jen. Posts are never "not so great," this is about people who love Arillas expressing their views. Including where it has gone wrong.
Welcome here - it is a nice place to be
Phil
Hi Phll!
Thank you for the warm welcome! Last month was my first visit to Arillas and we loved it so much we are going again next year. I think I am in the making for an Arillas Addict and maybe look forward to seeing you all next year.
Dan
We aren't all wrong on this forum. Some will hate it but others love it. You needn't work out where Jen and me are on that score. But the other views are just as valid.
There are things wrong with Arillas and as much as I adore the place, I have my eyes open. It is just another village with politics and people. But for Jen and me it is the place we want to be part of.
So glad you enjoyed it - and we would be happy to meet you one day out there. Just say hello or kalispera (if you can truly say kalimera we will buy you a drink.....we never get up that early.)
with best wishes
Phil
Hi Phil!
I CAN actually say that word. The proberly only one of three words I can say in Greece. I will look forward to the drink of Cola and hopefully we will be able to meet!
