Hi all,
I'm writing this post in order to inform you of all the new things in Arillas !
In my home they call it Goship!!!
it has been a great start of April with temperatures over 20 degrees every day.
tomorrow and Wednesday it's going to rain according to the local forecast.
The Old Viceremo taverna is now in possession of Grazella family . They renovated the balcony and are going to use it as a part of their own taverna !
The old Arilla Inn restaurant witch has been closed for over 20 years is tomorrow going to be partly demolished and propably become another nice place for Arillas!
The land next to Portofino is going to be a paid parking place for the months that our beach gets flooded with cars trying to park everywhere they can. However, the usual free parking is going to be available as usual.
The bench is going to be put on our Jetty as soon as the rain will go after Wednesday .
The local business union is publishing an open letter to all the new, older and future locals of Arillas wishing to spend their vacation or to make business in our area.

Thank you. That's all good news. I will have to rely on the usual suspects to report as they either visit themselves or the forum to keep me updated.

Well done The hard work of the locals is greatly appreciated to make our holidays so wonderful. Arilla Inn was a great Taverna but it will be good to see that area tidied up at last.
Excellent update
Thank you
Thanks Dimitris. Is there any news on sunbeds as I heard that there were some new regulations coming out to ensure that beaches in Greece have a certain percentage of beach that does nor have sunbeds on.
Today we did manage to place the old bench on the Arillas pier!
Thanks to Apostolis for his help!!

It's getting busier on the beach and on the handfull places beeing open .Yesterday it was the last school day for the two weeks Greek Easter holiday! Corfu will be the busiest island in Greece during these unique festivities.
I have noticed a big increase of our website bantwith trafic . Almost as much as in High season.
I even see much movement on the fourm.
Still no sunbeds on the beach wich is slowlly taking it'ts summer shape!!!

A nice family came to have dinner at my place!!!
Kostas on the beach after beeing open for the whole winter season is closing for two weeks fo their ''maintenance time of the year''
The New parking space next to Portofino (https://arillas.com/things-to-do/restaurants-tavernas/porto-fino)is taking shape and new look , I can see flowers and and a palmtree planted on it's front!
The beach on the south is in a really good size.
The North beach still needs some push from the nature.... let's wait and see.! it seems to be getting better everyday.
Still no sunbeds on the beach! the burocracy of sunbeds can be a pain for those who take care of them!
I forgot to mention ... Akrotiri caffe (https://www.akrotiri-cafe.com/index.php)is open since last Friday!! Inas Cafe is open too as well as Anasa beach bar (https://arillas.com/things-to-do/shoping/kalogiannis).
I have been serving some repeating solo visitors from Marvel-hotel.
Nikos Apartments (https://arillas.com/nikos-apartment-2024) is opening on Monday.
The Arillas bakery is not open yet, they are struggling also with the new cash and card registry sof The Place next tot the bakery is Kallogiannis Super market is now closed ... no sign of opening this year.
RAINBOW (http://www.arillas.com/things-to-do/bars-cafes/rainbow-pool-bar)is open too!!
Gutted the supermarket next to the bakery may not open again. Loved the olives from there.

HORIO MARKET
On the way to Mathraki Studios (https://arillas.com/where-to-stay/studios/mathraki) and Anna's Studios (https://arillas.com/where-to-stay/studios/anna) .

Must visit that tomorrow!
Looks fairly big. More competition is always good although carrying stuff from there if stopping at the other end of the resort would be difficult but nearer for others such as Mathraki studios and Rainbow etc
