Welcome to Arillas > Walking in Arillas and north west Corfu
The Arillas Trail - signed foot-path in to the corfiot nature
dimitris:
During winter time, the Arillas Cultural Organization in cooperation with other residents and the Business Organization, have made efforts to create a foot path between the two main roads of our Area, as well as a walking trail that starts at the beach between Inas Shop and Mirage Pool along the Arillas Stream, up to the bridge after the bakery and then all the way to the olive-groves of the Agricultural area of our village.
It leads in to areas that have not been easily accessed by visitors until today as there have not been any signs of orientation.
Walking through this trail you will be able to observe Arillas from a different point of view in a fantastic environment of plants and trees where time has stopped many years ago.
The roads that you will see are created mainly in order to access everyone’s harvest for transporting it to the local olive press. There are no buildings but the only signs of modern civilization are the nets that are used to collect the olives.
The trail ends at the Corfu Microbrewery where you can stop for a free beer sample and guided tour inside or keep going till the beach again.
This project will not be the only one. We have future plans for creating a whole network of such signed paths where you will be able to walk under the shade of our over 400 years old olivetrees even until Sidari.
The first official walk will be on MayDay, (Tuesday 1st May 2012 at 10:00 pm ) where we invite everyone who is currently in Arillas to join us.
At the end we will be having a small party at the Corfu Microbrewery where you will be offered local specialties and loads of Corfu beer. All sponsored by the people of Arillas.
Just follow the red and white signs as above and enjoy.

I agree sounds wonderful. One of the delights of Arillas is the walks around the village, and the before breakfast walk to Afionas and back...I love that one..husband always tries to wriggle out of it..but when we arrive back in Arillas about 9am and sit on a bench watching the sea, he always says.."That was lovely..just do not expect me to do anything else today!
We will be enjoying the new walk in the village!
Diane and Terry:
Thank you Dimitris for this latest news. Look forward to walking this trail in June.

What a fabulous addition to the joys that the village offers. So many will take advantage of it.
And for us less mobile folks, the conversations about the walks and the pictures people take, will be special.
Congratulations to the Arillas people who are developing and promoting our special place in such a pro-active and energetic fashion.
Phil
