Tria Adelphia, Arilas, Corfu

Kavos might as well be on another planet! The Tria Adelphia Studios are situated in a peaceful olive grove in the village of Arilas on the North West coast of Corfu.
Its a family run place that dispenses the traditional old fashioned Greek hospitality that you thought had gone forever.
Philip and Eleni, along with Philip's friendly parents and his charming sister Maria, ensure that a warm welcome awaits you in this little-known corner of Corfu.
The apartments are sited about three quarters of a mile from the beach, but don't let that put you off.
If you are relatively fit, you'll find the walk reasonable, even in the searing heat of August.
The Tria Adelphia apartments are clean, spacious, and have excellent views of the beautiful surrounding countryside.
There is a large pool with sunbeds, a well stocked bar, and the restaurant serves delicious meals night and day, the speciality being barbequed meat cooked by Philip's father.
Nothing is too much trouble for the host family, and this makes for a tranquil, laidback atmosphere that's enjoyed by couples and families alike.
The village has several decent restaurants, and my wife and I recommend Brouklas on the road into the village, home made village wine, and all produce grown (or reared) on the small family farm at the back of the restaurant.
The owner and waiters are courtesy personified.
The beach at Arilas is long and narrow, and a mixture of sand and shingle, the waters are turquoise, and clear as a bell.
It's safe for children, but there's not much in the way of amenities, so bring a hat, and plenty of water and snacks.
If you're looking for peace amid the chirruping of the cicadas in the late afternoon haze, just pull up a sunbed at the Tria Adelphia, and snooze your cares away.. but don't tell anyone, it's our secret!
