Arillas Beach 2013: some news and pictureshttp://www.arillas.com/forum/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=342Arillas beach is finally coming back!!!
The great weather conditions and calm sea in addition to the right wind and currents directions, as well as a small interference to the nature have managed to bring the sand back to the shore. For the entire winter we did not have much sand on our beach. it is not unusual but it does make us wonder every time it happens.
The interference was inspired by the Arillas business association during last year’s meetings and councils, So with the help of the local council and monetization from the local business owners a small development had been taken place on the beach.
A small line of rocks were placed in the water under Kaloudis village and Marinaki area (close to where the wooden steps used to be) that is supposed to stop the current and keep more sand to the shore.
Twelve trees were planted along the beach front in order to provide shade and decorate the beach front. I must say that our beach has had in the past the same kind of trees before the taverns and hotels were build that were cut to make space for buildings.
Three Benches were build out of stone ( that was a private and anonymous donation) and a ramp is now created instead of the wooden stairs.
A free parking area is created behind Kostas on the beach and Thalassa and a new place for keeping the rubbish bins out of the beach front.
I will be posting more pictures soon,
I,m sure there are more things that we have donne and we will be doing , I will be keeping you all informed!
