I'm Really Glad I Had My Nikon Camera With Me When I Visited Arillas, a Charming Ionian Village

By Katie Gritton

Arillas (in many instances referred to as Arilas), really is a small-scale relatively undeveloped hamlet proudly located in the North-Western area of Corfu island. Corfu is actually part of the Ionian group of Greek island destinations which also consists of the lesser talked about Paxos, Zakynthos (Zante) and Kefalonia. The last mentioned as an aside is without a doubt the setting for Louis de Bernieres? story and also following Holywood movie, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, which takes place on the island during the Italian and German occupation of World War II.

The substantial amount of charter aircraft going to Corfu from the British Isles means it really is easily accessible from regional airports. Most people head straight for the heavily developed and somewhat infamous major resorts on the South and East of Corfu. There are a variety of tour operators that go to Arillas including Olympic Holidays. Beware that it will end up being an approximately 2 hr transfer from the airport terminal using a second transfer to a smaller minibus for your final leg to Arillas. It was here that I arrived, rather weary with my Nikon D3100 digital camera.

Arillas possesses a gradually shelving sand along with pebble seashore where a a number of aquatic sports like canoe and pedalo hire are offered. Turning right on approaching the shore takes you to the thin, cliff backed naturist area. The beach seemingly changes in dimensions over the year, banking on stormy weather to bring material inshore in order to replace displaced fine sand and shingle. To reach this beach you may have to wade so you can get past rugged outcrops depending on the tide. Mud cliffs come down to the beach here and the mud is known to be very therapeutic for the skin when smeared all over. You might not seem 10 years younger following your procedure nevertheless you really will surely have a lot of fun by using it!

Corfu gets a higher than average rainfall and may end up being green for a great deal of the season. The vicinity is perfect for checking out by walking plus cycles can be hired. Lance Chilton has published helpful tips for the area, which is available through Marengo Publications, www.marengowalks.com.

One particular outing that could be worth contemplating, is to the Porto Timoni peninsular in the vicinity of Afionas, where a steep wander down rewards you with remarkable views of the double semi-circular bays down below. The area is rather isolated and there have been other folks going swimming nude on the couple of instances I have been there. The closest hamlet Afionas has a few tavernas and may be arrived at by vehicle, pedal bike or on foot.

Arillas possesses a website and energetic discussion forum so any readers interested in finding out more can check it out, www.arillas.com. If you want to share shots of the area a decent camera is an excellent advantage.
