The
Arillas Business Association together with the local Councillors and
people of Arillas have achieved to have the beach-front and the rest of the village in a good state before the season started .
In the winter months meetings and small conferences were taking place in order to keep everyone informed and able to contribute with their own opinions and ideas.
Having taken seriously under consideration the results of the Arillas Survey form 2012-13, we followed the rule to
improve but
not spoil our Arillas by choosing carefully all actions and necessary developments.
The community spirit within the Arillas business-people is a vital fact that has to be kept going for the next years.
The work that this year has been done by the business-owners is:
- Repairing and improving the look of the beach-front lights.
- Creation of a wooden pedestrian at the left part of the beach-street.
- Tiding up some of the private and public signs in order to give a good example of how signs should be.
- Creation of more rubbish-bin-housings.
- Planting more native trees, flowers and plants at the beach front. (These trees used to grow naturaly in Arillas beach before the hotels and bars where build.)
- Creation and placement of 10 wooden small litter bins at the beach that the business owners of the front would be caring for them.
- Repairing the surface of the pier.
- Repairing the beach Showers.
- Maintenance of the Arillas trail.
All these actions have been initiated by the community spirit of the Arillas people who live and work in this area. It was the ultimate move to respond to the loyalty of all of you that keep coming year by year and to welcome the newcomers with respect.
We are trying to keep your holiday destination clean and tidy with our basic resources and very little help from the governmental services. I must say It WAS NOT EASY....
It is important that more and more local business-owners should take part in this actions in the future. Our aim is to keep Arillas AS IT IS .
The identity of our Arillas as a holiday destination is based on :- Our natural environment
- The sea and sun
- Family-run accommodation
- Quality restaurants and good Greek food
- Quality of the beach
- High rate of repeating visitors
- The hospitality of the local people
- Beach quality
- Recommendation from friends and family

In order to keep this spirit going, it would be very nice of you to keep mentioning to every establishment that you visit in Arillas and the surrounding areas about the good impact that these initiatives have to your holidays.
